Hypothesis: Daphnias can increase in population at a room
temperature, rather than a colder or warmer temperature.

Control group will be at a room temperature water. The experimental will be tested in cold and warmer waters.

Independent variable: change of water temperature.

The data will be the amount of growth in which the water fleas population increases or decreases, a bar graph would work.

Answer:

Experiment to test the effect of temperature on the size of a daphnia population:

1. The hypothesis to be tested is: "Cooler temperature will reduce the size of the population due to a decrease in the reproduction rate while the hotter temperature will increase the size of the population due to an increase in the reproduction rate.

2. In all groups, daphnia will be counted weekly at the same time. The amount of water and nutrients supplies will be the same between groups. The only thing that will change is the temperature. For example:

Control group will be at 20 Celcius degrees, the cooler group will be at ten Celcius degrees, and the hotter group will be at 30 Celcius degrees.

3. The independent variable is the temperature.

4. The dependent variable (data that will be collected) is the size of the population.

Explanation:

Daphnias are microscopic crustaceans, which are called water fleas because of their saltatory behavior like fleas. Their life span and reproduction can be affected by different factors, including the abundance of predators, food, and temperature. They alternate their reproduction strategy during their life; they can reproduce asexually and sexually. Lower temperatures (cooler) decrease their metabolic and reproduction rate while higher temperature (hotter) increase their metabolic and reproduction rate. Because they can reproduce more times during their life span and the reproduction rate is higher in higher temperatures, I expect that temperature will affect the size of the population of Daphnia.

There are six classes of nutrients that must be considered when planning your diet: water, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitami

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Essential nutrients cannot be synthesized by the human body but are required for optimal functioning. Therefore. They must be obtained from food. Omega-3 fatty acids are prime examples.

You consume macronutrients (water. proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) in large quantities as opposed to micronutrients which you consume in small quantities

Dehydration can develop very quickly when exercising in hot/humid weather conditions.

Proteins are also called 'bodybuilders" due to their function within the body. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Explanation:

Essential nutrients are those nutrients that are required for the proper functioning of the body but cannot be synthesized by the body. They are obtained from external sources such as vegetables or synthesized artificially in the laboratories. Micronutrients as the name implies are taken in small amounts. Examples are the different types of vitamins.

Dehydration occurs when a person loses a good amount of water through sweating or urination. It can easily occur while exercising in hot weather conditions. Proteins repair the cells in our body and are, therefore, rightfully referred to as bodybuilders. Amino acids form proteins.

One type of active transport is called cotransport. In cotransport, the energy available from an ion moving through a transport

kompoz [17]

Answer:

b- It is a spontaneous process.

Explanation:

Passive transport is the type of transport of substances across the plasma membrane that occurs without energy expenditure and occurs spontaneously. There is no energy expenditure during passive transport because substances naturally move from the more concentrated to the less concentrated medium, ie in favor of the concentration gradient.

Substance transport occurs until concentrations inside and outside the cell are equalized.

According to this conceptualization we can conclude that the correct answer to your question is the letter B.

Explain the difference between using dna profiles to determine paternity and to match a tissue sample with a suspect

Dmitry [639]

Each person has a unique DNA profile. To determine paternity, only a very limited amount of tissue is used to match the DNA profile of the potential father to that of the child. The genetic test performed to determine whether a tissue sample belongs to a specific suspect needs a more extended tissue sample.
