Diane wanted to demonstrate which pruning technique was best for controlling the growth of certain types of shrubs. She selected

ten shrubs of the same type and randomly assigned each one to receive one of ten different pruning methods. Two weeks after pruning, she measured the regrowth, in inches, of the shrubs; the pruning method that minimized regrowth was recommended as the best method. Which of the following best describes why this is not a well-designed experiment?
A. The shrubs were not randomly selected.
B. Pruning methods were not randomly assigned to shrubs.
C. Each pruning method was used on only one shrub.
D. Each shrub did not receive all ten pruning methods.
E. Only two treatments should be used in an experiment.

Answer:

C. Each pruning method was used on only one shrub.

Explanation:

Reproducibility is one of the most important factors contributing to the reliability of scientific research. The researcher must be able to achieve the same results two to three times. In biological research, this is usually done in the from of triplicates i.e. one experiment is repeated three times. This is done for two reasons:

  1. Producing reproducible results
  2. Ruling out false positives (a negative result that presents as positive due to error) and negatives (a positive result that presents as negative due to error)

Triplicates rule out the possibility that the observed change was caused by another factor or through mere chance. Therefore, in the current scenario, each pruning method should have been applied to multiple (at least 3) samples of a shrub.

The body loses water in a variety of ways. Put the water output mechanisms in order from greatest contribution to fluid loss (1)
kirza4 [7]

The maximum to minimum body water loss occurs by: Urine production, Skin losses, Lung respiration and minimum by Feces

<h3>What are the ways in which body loses water ?</h3>

Through breathing, sweating, and peeing, the body continuously loses water. You become dehydrated if you don't drink enough water or other liquids.

The majority of fluid loss happens through the stools, sweat, and urine, but it's not only those things. The quantity of body fluid lost daily through the skin, respiratory system, and water in the feces that cannot be readily measured is known as insensible fluid loss.

Physical exercise also influences increased respiratory water loss due to the increased expiratory volume and frequency of breathing. Various environmental elements like temperature, humidity, radiation, and atmospheric pressure mostly affect sweating and urine water loss.

Seasons why do we have them
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

PLEASE HELP ME <br> What are the steps to photosynthesis
RoseWind [281]

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, molecules in leaves capture sunlight and energize electrons, which are then stored in the covalent bonds of carbohydrate molecules. That energy within those covalent bonds will be released when they are broken during cell respiration. How long lasting and stable are those covalent bonds? The energy extracted today by the burning of coal and petroleum products represents sunlight energy captured and stored by photosynthesis almost 200 million years ago.

Plants, algae, and a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria are the only organisms capable of performing photosynthesis. Because they use light to manufacture their own food, they are called photoautotrophs (“self-feeders using light”). Other organisms, such as animals, fungi, and most other bacteria, are termed heterotrophs (“other feeders”) because they must rely on the sugars produced by photosynthetic organisms for their energy needs. A third very interesting group of bacteria synthesize sugars, not by using sunlight’s energy, but by extracting energy from inorganic chemical compounds; hence, they are referred to as chemoautotrophs.
