Answer:

A. glycine (NH 2 CH 2 COOH).

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we understand amino acids as organic compounds that assemble to form high order molecules called proteins, therefore, they are the building blocks of life. Structurally, as shown on the first attached picture, they make up of both an amino group and a carboxily group having the organic chain below. In such a way, the only listed compound that matches with such the aforesaid definitions is glycine whose structure is shown on the other attached document.

Best regards.

A biology student set up an experiment to study 9 mice. On day 1, they were measured for weight and length. Then the mice were p

The independent variable would be the variable in the research that is being manipulated by the researcher. In this case, it would be temperature in the cage as it is what is being manipulated and changed in the research design. The dependent variable would be the variable that is being studied so, for this case, it would be the length and the weight of the mice. The constants are the factors that might affect the dependent variable but is held constant or the same by the researcher throughout the experiment. These are the size of the cage, amount of food and the exercise wheel. The flaw that the scientist would be studying the length of the mice since I don't think the temperature has any effect on it. And base from he results, the change in lengths are not conclusive.
