Answer:
Control group: volunteer stationary bike riders in a pollution-free chamber
Experimental group: volunteer stationary bike riders in a chamber filled with air pollutants common to Los Angeles
Independent variable: exposure to air pollution
Dependent variable: The heart rates (physical fitness) of the volunteer riders.
Explanation:
In a scientific experiment, data is compared between the control group and experimental group to ascertain the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable. A control group is the group in an experiment that is not treated with the independent variable i.e. the independent variable is controlled while the experimental group is the group that is treated with an independent variable.
N.B: The independent variable is the variable controlled by the experimenter in order to influence the dependent variable (measurable outcome).
In this experiment, the independent variable is the AIR POLLUTION the volunteer riders are exposed to while the dependent variable is the PHYSICAL FITNESS/ HEART RATES of the volunteer riders, which is dependent on the exposure to air pollution (independent variable).
The control group in this experiment is the volunteer riders placed in a POLLUTION-FREE CHAMBER where the independent variable cannot influence or have any effect on the measurable variable (dependent). The experimental group is the volunteer riders placed in a CHAMBER FILLED WITH AIR POLLUTANTS. The independent variable (air pollution) has been changed in the experimental group.
<span>An animal with these such features would be well suited to live in environment like the rain forest. Its long limbs and tail would allow it to swing from tree to tree, and also reach up into the trees to gather food. The hand-like paws would make climbing easier, and allow the animals to grab food from higher places.</span>
Answer:
C. metals
Explanation:
Elements in the periodic table are grouped into metal and non-metals depending on their characteristics. Metals usually possess the following characteristics:
- High melting and boiling point
- Brittle i.e. ability to break
- lustre i.e. ability to shine when polished.
- Good conductor of heat and electricity
Based on this above characteristics, element Q in this question is a METAL because it posseses the same qualities that a metal does.
