Answer:

The lungers refer to the fishes that sit and wait for their prey to come closer, while the cruisers are the fishes that move in bursts and attain a speed to follow and catch the prey, or one can state that cruiser actively look for prey like tuna.  

The lungers are generally cold-blooded, the temperature of their body is similar to their surroundings. They exhibit lower metabolic rate in comparison to cruisers. The lungers are large in size and possess fewer teeth so they prefer to swallow their prey rather than chewing it. Thus, endurance is low in comparison to cruisers.  

However, the mouth and lungs of lungers exhibit a powerful sucking system, which assists them in catching their prey from a distance. They exhibit heavy crushing plates within the pharynx and can dig deep into the sand. These characteristics of lungers help them to compete with the cruisers.

Otrada [13]

Answer:

The steps that can be seen in this story are observation and the questioning phase, which can also be called elaboration of the problem.

Explanation:

The scientific method is a set of phases that are able to guide researchers to the creation of scientific knowledge, through an experiment. This method is essential for conducting scientific research, allowing an experiment to be managed in a way that promotes answers to scientists' questions. The scientific method presents the phases called observation, questioning (or elaboration of the problem), elaboration of hypotheses, experimentation, analysis of the results and conclusion.

In the story shown in the question above, we can see the phases called observation and questioning. The observation takes place the moment Fleming noticed a fungus capable of growing on colonies of bacteria that cause throat infections, killing them. This observation made him enter the questioning phase, when he wondered if the fungus was able to prevent the growth of these bacteria.

How do these equations explain why the total amount of O2 and CO2 remains the same?
Troyanec [42]

Hey There!!

The answer to this is: C) a factor that may affect an experiment or investigation. This is the best answer. A and B can be eliminated. D describes a controlled variable which is more specific than a scientific variable, thus C is the best answer. It is the best description of just a scientific variable. And, The second one is B: Robert Hooke was a famous scientist who experimented with springs (metal coils). He found that the farther you stretched the spring, the larger the force with which the spring pulled back on you.
