ream cone (low sugar condition) or a Ben and Jerry's cone (high sugar condition). They are then asked to learn ten vocabulary words that they did not previously know, and then number or trials it takes to learn them is measured. The independent variable in this experiment is:
(A) the number of children in each condition
(B) the type of cone
(C) the gender of the participant

Answer:

b) The type of cone.

Explanation:

When we do a research, there are two main variables to take into account. These variables are the independent variable and the dependent variable.

  1. The independent variable is the one that we can control as researches and that will have an effect on another variable.
  2. The dependent variable is the one that we don't really have control on and is the one that gets affected by the independent variable.

In this example, the experimenter studies the influence of ingesting sugar on memory.

The variable that the experimenter will control is the cone he will give to children (low calorie or high sugar) and therefore this is the <u>independent variable.</u>

On the other hand, he will later test if there are differences in memory between both groups (by counting the number of trials it will take them to learn new words) this variable, he won't be able to control it, so this is the <u>dependent variable </u>

Thus, the independent variable as we said before will be b) the type of cone.

that's why few types of fishes stay down low where there is less heat and sunlight. practically it decides if an organism lives or dies.

The S cells called small cells

The M cells called medium cells  

The L cells called large cells.  

These are also called the photo-receptors cells that are found in vertebrates. These cells have different capacities for different wavelength cells. These cells are responsible for color cells so these cells perform better in light.

To hold office as president of the united states , a person must meet all the constitutional requirements below except which one
Juli2301 [7.4K]
The presidential candidate must be 35 years or older: so a) is a correct requirement. They must also  be a natural born citizen -born in the US or born to US parents (so technically b is not a requirement, and the question is badly phrased...)

but they definitely don't have to d. hold a flag rank in military
