How many drops of caffeine she drops on the worm is the manipulated variable.
In an experiment, the independent variable is a manipulated variable. Due to the fact that you may alter it, it is termed the "manipulated" one. In other words, you can choose in advance whether to raise it or lower it. Only one variable should be changed at a time throughout an experiment.
The Independent variable is Caffeine's impact. the production and use of nitrogen fertilizers, as well as the burning of fossil fuels in autos, power plants, and industries, are dependent variables that are local in scope. the heart rate of the worm is the responding variable in this experiment.
When an earthworm is given a stimulant like caffeine, its heart rate rises. Does coffee make an earthworm's heart beat faster? is the research topic upon which the experiment is based. The effect of coffee is the independent variable in this research question, and the response it causes is a change in heart rate (the dependent variable) This brings us to the following theory: "If an earthworm is given a stimulant like caffeine, then its heart rate accelerates."

Answer: Many pathogenic fungi are parasitic in humans and are known to cause diseases of humans and other animals. In humans, parasitic fungi most commonly enter the body through a wound in the epidermis (skin). Such wounds may be insect punctures or accidentally inflicted scratches, cuts, or bruises. One example of a fungus that causes disease in humans is Claviceps purpurea, the cause of ergotism (also known as St. Anthony’s fire), a disease that was prevalent in northern Europe in the Middle Ages, particularly in regions of high rye-bread consumption. The wind carries the fungal spores of ergot to the flowers of the rye, where the spores germinate, infect and destroy the ovaries of the plant, and replace them with masses of microscopic threads cemented together into a hard fungal structure shaped like a rye kernel but considerably larger and darker. This structure, called an ergot, contains a number of poisonous organic compounds called alkaloids. A mature head of rye may carry several ergots in addition to noninfected kernels. When the grain is harvested, much of the ergot falls to the ground, but some remains on the plants and is mixed with the grain. Although modern grain-cleaning and milling methods have practically eliminated the disease, the contaminated flour may end up in bread and other food products if the ergot is not removed before milling. In addition, the ergot that falls to the ground may be consumed by cattle turned out to graze in rye fields after harvest. Cattle that consume enough ergot may suffer abortion of fetuses or death. In the spring, when the rye is in bloom, the ergot remaining on the ground produces tiny, black, mushroom-shaped bodies that expel large numbers of spores, thus starting a new series of infections.
Answer:
To observe the cheek cell,
-
Take a tooth pick use its blunt side to scrap inside the mouth.
- You will see some deposition on the blunt side of tooth pick, make a smear on the clean slide in the center using that tooth pick.
- Add a drop of methylene blue solution and place a coverslip, make sure that bubbles are avoided i.e. coverslip should be placed in the inclined manner.
- Remove the excess solution and observe it under the microscope first under 4X and then under 10X.
Observation:
- The cells observed are squamous epithelial cells. The small blue dots seen inside will be the bacteria from our teeth and mouth.
