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.

Which one to choose ?(please tell me if u have trouble seeing)

Korolek [52]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Beaches are the places which are part of shore of an ocean, sea, large river etc.

There are pebbles and sand at the shore of a beach. Waves of water in an ocean always change the ocean due to erosion and addition of sand.

It is the force acted by the wave that pushes or pull the sand in different directions every time the wave comes.

So we can conclude that the statement beaches are always changes due to factors such as waves adding and eroding sand best describes beaches.

Aleks [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is - the article does not provide a scientific basis for the information

Explanation:

Generally, Magazines publish articles with reliable information and sources that are universally accepted or have a scientific basis behind the information. It is already known that wastewater is recycled and purified before making it available for drinking.

In this article, there is no scientific basis behind the information as no scientific data mentioned or ignore test and practice in use from the years which is scientifically tested.

100 BRAINLY POINTS!!!!

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy driving the movement of molecules during passive transport comes from differences in the concentration of the molecules on either side of the membrane with the molecules tending to move from the side of higher concentration to the side of lower concentration because of their net thermal movement.

Because there are two major ways that molecules can be moved across a membrane, and the distinction has to do with whether or not cell energy is used. Passive mechanisms like diffusion use no energy, while active transport requires energy to get done

How is energy used to move?

Molecules do not stop moving once they reach equilibrium. Passive Transport (no energy needed). The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Particles pass right through the cell membrane. the (passive) movement of large particles or substances across the cell membrane through protein channels.

I hope it helps you!

Which type of lipid is a major component of the cell membrane

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Phospholipids

Explanation:

Phospholipids are a particular kind of lipid (an oil) that forms a two-layered surface that surrounds and protects all living cells. The phosphates are essential to forming this bilayered structure. This membrane has a semipermeable function that selectively allows some elements and molecules to go in or out of the cell and thus helps maintain the cell in equilibrium.
