Accuracy is the closeness of a measurement to the actual value being measured.

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>

Accuracy

No measurement is completely accurate. There is always some degree of error in the measurements. The closeness of a measurement to the true value is called accuracy.  

Precision

Precision is how close measurements are to each other. Higher precision instruments allow the measurements to be very close to each other and give a better approximation of a measurement and increases the accuracy of the reading as well.  

Experimental errors are considered to ensure that the data or the method is accurate and reliable. The lower the experimental error, the more confidence we have that the measurement is near the true value. It also provides insight about how to optimize the method to yield better results.

Kinds of Experimental Error

Random error

Random errors are errors that are beyond the control of the experimenter. These are variations that happen by chance and may be reduced by performing multiple trials and averaging the results.

Systematic error

Errors incurred by the way the experiment was conducted are called systematic errors. Their effect cannot be reduced by doing more trials but by changing the design or the method used to obtain the results.

<span>Accuracy is the concept being studied here. Compared to precision, accuracy concerns how close to actually being "right" a value or measurement is. Precision, conversely, concerns how exact a measurement is (when using significant figures, decimal places, powers, or similar).</span>

The graphic shows the citric acid cycle. A diagram of the citric acid cycle is shown. Acetyl C o A enters the citric acid cycle
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

It enters the citric acid cycle and associates with a 4-carbon molecule, forming citric acid, and then through redox reactions regenerates the 4-carbon molecule.

Explanation:

Acetyl-CoA(2C) associates with oxalacetate(4C) to form citric acid(6C). Then through redox reactions, CO2 molecules result from decarboxylation (COOH becomes R-(R1)CH-R2). And through dehydrogenation H2 molecules are incorporated in NADH+ in FADH2, resulting in the 4-carbon molecule at the beginning (oxalacetate). That's why it's called a cycle(Kreb's cycle or citric acid cycle)

Sergeeva-Olga [200]
<h2>Scientist Observing changes </h2>

If the population of the species is significantly decreasing then the species could become extinct. The decline in population is due to some factors like less immigration, aging, and decreasing fertility rates. But the most is due to less immigration which causes to decrease population. The extinction of population can be prevented by some serious actions which should be taken government.

marta [7]

Answer: This is called Monohybrid Experiment

Explanation: Monohybrid Cross

P Generation TT     *   tt

  Tall plants     Dwarf plants

F1 Generation  

T T

t Tt Tt

t Tt Tt

In F1 generation;

There are 100% Tt Genotype and 100% Tall plant Phenotype

F2 Generation

F1   *   F1

( Tt   *   Tt )

T t

T TT Tt

t Tt tt

In F2 Generation;

Genotype

There are 25% TT (homozygous dominant, tall plants).

50% Tt (heterozygous tall plants), and

25% tt (homozygous recessive dwarf plants).

This is how dwarf characteristics reappear in the second generation.

The Phenotype of F2 generation is 3:1  (Tall : Dwarf)

In response to high amounts of phosphate transport into the cell: a. PhoR is phosphorylated by the phosphate transporter protein
storchak [24]

Answer:

e. PhoU keeps PhoR bound to the phosphate transporter protein Pst

Explanation:

PhoU is a membrane protein known to regulate the transport of phosphate (Pi) between cellular compartments. It has been discovered that mutations in this protein cause lethality because the cell becomes incapable of controlling the intracellular levels of  Pi, this being toxic for the cell. PhoR is a histidine kinase/phosphatase. When the Pi level is considered to be a limiting factor, PhoR autophosphorylates at a histidine residue and then donates its phosphoryl group to PhoB. On the other hand, when the Pi level is high, this protein removes the phosphoryl group from phospho-PhoB. Finally, the Pst is a signal transduction protein that acts as a transporter capable of switching its conformation during the transport of PI.
