Answer:
Independent variable: Salinity/Salt concentration
Dependent variable: hatching rate
Explanation:
As rightly stated in this question, INDEPENDENT VARIABLE, in an experiment, is the variable that the experimenter changes or manipulates in order to bring about a measurable response while the DEPENDENT VARIABLE is the variable that the experimenter measures in an experiment. Dependent variable as the name implies is dependent on the independent variable.
In this question where an hypothesis was given as follows: "Hatching brine shrimp is related to salinity (how salty the water is), then the greater the salt concentration, the higher the hatching rate". The hypothesis relates the independent and dependent variables i.e. it tells us how the independent variable affects the dependent variable.
Hence, according to the hypothesis, it is telling us how a change in SALINITY OR SALT CONCENTRATION will affect HATCHING RATE. Therefore;
Independent variable: SALINITY/SALT CONCENTRATION
Dependent variable: HATCHING RATE
B. Consumers have more power in the marketplace than they think or know.
Answer:
The graph illustrating such a phenomenon will show a sharp curve in upward manners in the beginning but then will grow downwards as the predation increases.
Explanation:
When a rabbit population is introduced in a habitat, the new habitat will have abundant food for the rabbits. As a result, the population of the rabbits will grow at a much faster rate and hence the graph will move sharply upwards in the beginning. But with the passage of time, the predators of the rabbits will also increase due to the abundance of their preys. More predators will feed on more rabbits and hence a slow decline in the curve will be seen afterwards.
Answer:
c. Cerebrum
Explanation:
The cerebrum is the part of the brain that is responsible for processing the sensory information, critical thinking and learning. It stores this information and processing centers make predictions for various conditions. The Wernicke’s area and Broca’s area represent the areas of language present in the cerebral cortex and are associated with language and speech.
