The correct answer is A. An inference is likely to change based on additional observations.

Explanation:

In science, an inference is made when you use the information from observations, previous studies, among others to get to a conclusion. This process often involves making assumptions based on what you know, because of this, inferences can change if evidence disproves it. For example, you might infer all plants have the same growth rate if you studied two or more plants of the same species and the growth rate was the same, but this can be disproved if you study plants of other species.

On the other hand, an observation is a statement you made based on evidence, this includes observing a phenomenon or measuring it with a precise instrument. This means, observations are not based on assumptions and therefore are precise and often fixed. Thus, one key difference between observations and inferences is "An inference is likely to change based on additional observations."

the flagellum helps the cell to move through water. Scientists think that the flagellum and the light-sensitive spot work together to increase photosynthesis. Light sensitive spot detects light.

I researched this! Hope it helps!

Species adapt over time through structural and behavioral adaptations.

<span>plant moving toward light to increase photosynthesis

</span><span>Adaptations are the result of evolution in different living organisms. This process occurs amazingly through gene mutation but it takes a very long period in time. Adaptation processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of life. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted through time. An example of this are the bills of a bird and the fur of bears that they generally need for their survival; birds for hunting, and bears to protect them from low climate areas.</span>

The wavelengths of light used in photosynthesis are found in the _________ portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
hoa [83]

Answer:

Visible light

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a unique phenomenon in which plants use sunlight energy, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation, to manufacture their food. During this process, certain pigments in the leaves of plants called CHLOROPHYLL absorbs the blue and red wavelengths of light ranging from 400nm - 700nm.

However, these wavelengths of light (blue and red) that are used during the photosynthetic process are found in the VISIBLE LIGHT PORTION of the electromagnetic spectrum. The visible light is the only part that can be made use of by photosynthetic pigments.
