Cadaver Decomposition Island

-  When a body is buried directly in the soil, then it is subject to decomposition by insects and microorganisms. 

<span>- </span>During this process, a self-digestion of the cells occurs as well as anaerobic decomposition of animal proteins resulting in a release of various chemical components.

<span>- </span>This nutrient-rich fluid is trapped in the soil matrix for a long period of time resulting in the formation of Cadaver Decomposition Island

<span>- The formation of Cadaver Decomposition Island is associated with increased microbial biomass and activity.</span>

Answer:

Independent variable: ALTITUDE

dependent variable: GROWTH OF PLANTS

Confounding variable: STOREYS OF THE BUILDING

Explanation:

In an experiment, the basic components i.e primary variables that an experiment should contain, are the independent and dependent variables.

- The independent variable is the variable that is changed or manipulated in an experiment. In this experiment, the ALTITUDE of the plant is the independent variable.

- The dependent variable is the variable that responds to changes to the independent variable. It is the variable measured in an experiment. In this case, the dependent variable is the GROWTH OF THE PLANTS.

- The confounding variable is a variable that has an extra influence on the outcome of the experiment. In other words, the confounding variable has an impact on the dependent variable. In this case, the confounding variable is the STOREYS OF THE BUILDING.

How does evolution lead to both the diversity and the unity of life?
gogolik [260]
<span>Simple. All of the millions of different life forms (the diversity of life) have come about by natural selection, whereby random mutations in the genes have either succeeded or failed. But all life can be traced back to a common single-celled origin. Thus we have the unity of life where we (possibly) share more than 50 % of our DNA with a crocodile.eg:analogous organs, homologous organs.</span>
