A scientist is investigating the cause of an unusual color in the lake water of a specific location. Four residents of the locat

ion responded to questions asked by the scientist. The chart below shows their responses. Questions Resident 1's answer Resident 2's answer Resident 3's answer Resident 4's answer Do you work at the coal mine near the lake? Yes No No Yes Do you use the lake water for daily chores? Yes Yes No Yes Is your family income affected by the presence of the coal mine near the lake? No Yes No Yes Which resident's information would the scientist most likely record to get valid results? Resident 1 Resident 2 Resident 3 Resident 4

The answer depends on someone who would most impartial, meaning not having an opinion that could change because of money (question 3), would need to have some knowledge of the lake (question 2) and would not alter results to avoid implicating the coal mine (question 1). The best choice is 1 because this person uses the water, but would not be affected economically by discussing the lake and the coal mine. Number 3 is the second best choice because they have answered no to all three questions. The reason Number 3 is not the best choice is because they do not regularly use the water, unlike Number 1.

What are some good and bad results on irradiation being used on seeds
malfutka [58]

Explanation:

The effects of gamma radiation are investigated by studying plant germination, growth and development, and biochemical characteristics of maize. Maize dry seeds are exposed to a gamma source at doses ranging from 0.1 to 1 kGy. Our results show that the germination potential, expressed through the final germination percentage and the germination index, as well as the physiological parameters of maize seedlings (root and shoot lengths) decreased by increasing the irradiation dose. Moreover, plants derived from seeds exposed at higher doses did not survive more than 10 days. Biochemical differences based on photosynthetic pigment (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids) content revealed an inversely proportional relationship to doses of exposure. Furthermore, the concentration of chlorophyll a was higher than chlorophyll b in both irradiated and non-irradiated seedlings. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy used to evaluate the amount of free radicals induced by gamma ray treatment demonstrates that the relative concentration of radiation-induced free radicals depends linearly on the absorbed

A new life form was discovered on Mars, one based upon Silicon instead of Carbon. Explain what properties Silicon has that allow
Vesna [10]

Group IV of the Periodic Table of the Elements contains carbon (C), silicon (Si) and several heavy metals. Carbon, of course, is the building block of life as we know it. So is it possible that a planet exists in some other solar system where silicon substitutes for carbon? Several science fiction stories feature silicon-based life-forms--sentient crystals, gruesome golden grains of sand and even a creature whose spoor or scat was bricks of silica left behind. The novellas are good reading, but there are a few problems with the chemistry.

CRYSTALLINE CREATURES? Silicon can grow into a number of lifelike structures, but its chemistry makes it unlikely that it could be the basis for alien life-forms.</span>

Indeed, carbon and silicon share many characteristics. Each has a so-called valence of four--meaning that individual atoms make four bonds with other elements in forming chemical compounds. Each element bonds to oxygen. Each forms long chains, called polymers, in which it alternates with oxygen. In the simplest case, carbon yields a polymer called poly-acetal, a plastic used in synthetic fibers and equipment. Silicon yields polymeric silicones, which we use to waterproof cloth or lubricate metal and plastic parts.
