A certain cultivated herb is one of a group of closely related plants that thrive in soil with high concentrations of metals tha

t are toxic to most other plants. Agronomists studying the growth of this herb have discovered that it produces large amounts of histidine, an amino acid that, in test-tube solutions, renders these metal chemically inert. Hence, the herb’s high histidine production must be the key feature that allows it to grow in metal-rich soils. In evaluating the argument, it would be most important to determine which of the following?
(A) Whether the herb can thrive in soil that does not have high concentrations of the toxic metals
(B) Whether others of the closely related group of plants also produce histidine in large quantities
(C) Whether the herb's high level of histidine production is associated with an unusually low level of production of some other amino acid
(D) Whether growing the herb in soil with high concentrations of the metals will, over time, reduce their concentrations in the soil
(E) Whether the concentration of histidine in the growing herb declines as the plant approaches maturity

Answer: the correct answer is (B) Whether others of the closely related group of plants also produce histidine in large quantities

Explanation:

This is a CAUSAL argument.

In a causal argument, A and B are observed together, and the CR concludes that A CAUSES B.

Premise = A and B are observed together:

A cultivated herb produces histidine and is able to grow in metal rich soils.

Conclusion = A causes B:

Histidine CAUSES the herb to be able to grow in metal rich soils.

One way to strengthen the conclusion that A causes B is give ANOTHER SUPPORTING EXAMPLE that links A to B.

The Galapagos Islands Have All The Same Species As Ecuador?
worty [1.4K]
No, since it is an island separate from the mainland Ecuador and has been uniquely isolated over the past several hundred thousand years, the species on the Galapagos Islands have had time to evolve differently and separately than those in Ecuador, leading to many different, diverse species on the Galapagos that don't exist in Ecuador

What is used to increase the extensibility of soft tissues through both autogenic inhibition and reciprocal inhibition?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Static stretching

Explanation:

Autogenic inhibition  and reciprocal inhibition occur when Golgi tendon Organ is activated leading to inhibition of certain from contracting.  

Stretching is a form of exercise that improves muscle's felt elasticity by deliberately flexing it.

Static Stretch entails singular motion held in a place for ten seconds or more and it is used to increase soft tissue extensibility  through both Autogenic and Reciprocal inhibition.
