3 0

The benefits of the biotechnological researches posses the same level of threat if they are not regulated. It is essential to set some ethical guidelines to prevent the misuse of the biotechnological researches. the genetically altered organisms posses a harm to the environment if they are mixed with the natural occurring ones. Moreover, the super pathogens and drugs can cause a catastrophe if not handled properly, and can be used in bio-terrorism. Hence, it is essential to follow the rules and take in notice the ethical concerns.

It is D because you are inferring the rest are statements the dog barking you can obviously hear it vinegar has a pungent aroma you can smell it. the flower is pink you can see it. but a cup with steam coming from it will be hot to the touch. it says "Will be" which implies that you haven't actually touched it yet.

emily wants to know how green, blue and red color light affects plant growth compared to natural light. (Hint: what light affect

MArishka [77]

Red and blue colored lights are most effective for plant growth.

Plant Growth is the dependent variable and light color is the independent variable. The rest are control variables.

A Control variable is the part of the experiment that we keep the same throughout all of the test subjects. An independent variable does not depend on other variables and a dependent variable does.

Allow me to explain. When we perform an experiment, many factors that can change the results, For this reason, it is common practice to keep many of them the same for all test subjects (In this case for all of the plants). This way we know that if changes are measured, they were not caused by these variables. These are what we call control variables.

An independent variable does not depend on other variables to remain the same. For example, the species of plant would be an independent variable, given that a plant cannot change its species because of other factors.

A dependent variable does change according to other variables and is often what we try to measure. For this example given, the dependent variable is how much the plant will grow with each colored light.

Knowing that plants rely on light to produce the energy needed to grow, we can <u>hypothesize</u> that applying different colors of light will have an effect on plant growth. To test this, we can create an experiment where we use:

Soil
amount of water
amount of light
species of plant
length of experiment

As control variables.

One group of plants will have blue light, another green, and another red. We can identify the color of light as an independent variable.

Since what we seek to measure is plant growth, we identify this as our dependent variable and measure it for each plant after a set amount of time, to compare results.

With this, you can confidently identify the control, dependent, and independent variables and how to use them in your experiment.
