An experiment was designed to investigate if caffeine would raise the heartbeat of water fleas. Two groups of water fleas were u

sed. Both groups were fed the same food, received the same amount of light, and had their temperature maintained at 20°C. Every two hours, water fleas from both groups were selected and their heartbeats were checked. The fleas of group 1 were given caffeine five minutes before their heartbeat was checked. The fleas of group 2 were given nothing. What is the Control Variable?

Answer:

That is administered and controlled

Step-by-step explanation:

A variable is the condition or a product that may vary without the influence of any investigator. Such variables can be found abundantly in our daily lives, ranging from air to sunlight. Controlling such variables ensures the limitation of their influence on the outcome of an experiment. In connection to this experiment, the variables that are controlled are the mineral content in the water, the  amount of bacteria food, the amount of light and the the constant temperature of 20 degrees C.

If not administered or these variables controlled, the experiment would not clearly explain the impact of caffeine on the heart beat of the water fleas as other variables may have influenced it. Thus variables are controlled to study the singular impact of any agent or effect.

What type of stream valley forms in mountainous areas?
Alex73 [517]

The type of stream valley likely to form in a mountainous area is a V- shaped valley. This is a narrow valley that has a profile giving the impression of the letter V. This kind of valley is characterized by steeply sloping sides. It results from a stream eroding downward, a process referred to as downcutting. V - shaped valleys form in mountains or highland areas where streams are in their youthful stage and are flowing rapidly down steep slopes.

a) Name the structures that: i) Carry water and mineral salts to the leaf ii) Prevents too much water loss from the upper surfac
const2013 [10]

Answer:

a) i) Xylem

   ii) Upper epidermis  

   iii) Stoma

   iv) Chroloplast  

   v) Palisade cell layer

b) By a waxy layer on the cuticle of the leaf

Explanation:

The plant's leaves have a large surface area that is capable of absorbing sunlight. The plant's waxy layer in the surface of the leaf protects it from the loss of water, as well as of diseases caused by the entry of microorganisms. The palisade cell's surface is a single layer of cells underneath the upper epidermis that is adapted to absorb light energy.

The waxy layer is a primary physical barrier composed of insoluble polymers and lipids whose function is to protect the leaves against the entry of harmful organisms including virus, bacteria and fungus. Moreover, the plant's waxy cuticle is also a barrier that prevents the loss of water and solutes.
