A scientist plans to find out if dams harm a river ecosystem. He interviews 500 environmentalists and 450 of them believe that d

ams are harmful for the ecosystem. The scientist concludes that 90 percent of people believe that dams are harmful. Why is the scientist's conclusion most likely unreliable?

Answer: The answer is The source of information could be biased.

Explanation:

This is rather obvious like the person above stated environmentalists are more enclined to believe that humans with large-structures are harming the environment

A makes no sense, a lot of people were interviewed.

C makes no sense, no data was provided.

D also makes no sense, since it can be repeated.

The scientists' conclusions are most likely unreliable because <u>he asked the wrong set of people for his survey.</u> By definition, environmentalists are those people who are inclined to believing that humans are entirely responsible for creating biological foot prints all over the Earth. They always advocate the protection of the environment and even persuade people to follow suit. It is natural for them to react in such a manner that they find dams as something harmful because to them, dams destroy the natural cycle of Mother Earth.

If you could measure the resting metabolic rate of the following animals, which would most likely have the lowest mass-specific
yawa3891 [41]

The horse and mouse are endotherms among them rat will have high mass-specific metabolic rate.

The shark and fish are endotherms among them fish will have high mass-specific metabolic rate.

Explanation:

The endotherm (heat requires in them to maintain internal temperature of the body) organism have high metabolic rates to maintain homeostasis, this requires the large amount of energy. Smaller animals have the greater surface area to volume ratio, hence more heat loss and higher metabolism. In larger animals body volume increases, surface area increase is also very slow, hence less heat loss and lower Metabolic rate. Smaller animals exchange oxygen to tissues at a high rate.

Same goes with ectotherms the larger the animal the smaller is the metabolic rate. During winters their activity slows down as they cannot adjust with the temperature of the surrounding.

However metabolic rates of ectotherm and endotherm cannot be compared.

Stacey wants to know if plants have the same phototrophic reaction from artificial light as they do from natural light. Using st
joja [24]

Scientific method includes some steps that are necessary for conducting the successful experiment.

1. Make an observation

You observe the growth of the plant under the influence of light (phototropic effect) and you notice that some plants successfully grow under artificial light. You want to compare that growth with growth under the sunlight.

2. Ask a question

How does the light influence plant growth?

Are the wavelengths of the light important?

Is natural light source (sun) better for plant growth...

3. Form a  hypothesis - it is a testable potential answer to the question

For example: Sunlight induces higher phototropic reaction.

4. Make a prediction

Sunlight is richer in red and blue hues which are both extremely important to plant growth.  

5. Test the prediction

Design an experiment by putting one pot with beans outside on sunlight and other under the light bulb. Other conditions such as water must be the same. Monitor their growth for about 2 weeks and measure the results.

6. Analyze the data and make a conclusion.
