Answer:
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE: COCONUT JUICE
DEPENDENT VARIABLE: APPEARANCE OF GREEN SLIME
CONTROL GROUP: THE SIDE OF THE SHOWER HE SPRAYED WITH WATER
CONSTANT: SAME TIME OF MEASUREMENT, SAME SHOWER
Explanation:
- Independent variable is the variable that is changed or manipulated by an experimenter. In this experiment, Homer sprays a side of his shower with COCONUT JUICE and the other side with water. This means that the independent variable is the COCONUT JUICE.
- Dependent variable is the variable that responds to the independent variable. It is the variable that is measured by the experimenter. In this experiment, the dependent variable is the APPEARANCE OF GREEN SLIME on the shower.
- Control group is the group in an experiment that does not receive the experimental treatment (coconut juice). This means that the control group of this experiment is the SIDE OF THE SHOWER HE SPRAYED WITH WATER.
- Constants or controlled variable are the variables in an experiment that are kept unchanged throughout the experiment. In this case, the constant is SAME TIME OF MEASUREMENT, SAME SHOWER.
Answer: unequal divisions by design provides a unique synthetic system capable of making decisions on its future fates and states by selectively utilizing two types of divisions.
Explanation:
Stem cells make decisions on either self-reproduction or differentiation by selectively utilizing equal vs. unequal cell divisions Stem cells reproduce themselves by equal divisions. However, they undergo a one-round of an unequal division to reproduce one daughter stem cell which is identical to the original and to produce the other daughter cell that is destined to differentiate to a specialized cell type, thus differentiating into non-stem cell lineages – the process known as “asymmetric cell division”. The differentiated cells reproduce themselves via equal divisions. Therefore, the ability to control equal vs. unequal divisions by design provides a unique synthetic system capable of making decisions on its future fates and states by selectively utilizing two types of divisions.
Over the last two decades, several synthetic cell division systems were synthesized However, none provided a system where equal vs. unequal divisions could be controlled by design. Hence, we set out to synthesize an artificial cell system where we can control equal vs. unequal divisions by design.
Water logged? If the soil does not stick together the soil will seperate and water will have easier access to enter
