Answer:

Option A, The amount of Drug X given to the mice.

Explanation:

In an experiment, an independent variable is not the subject of the experiment and hence the impact of independent variable is studied on the depended variable.   An independent variable does not change or remains constant throughout the experiment.  

Here in this case-

a) Independent variable - is the amount of drug (X) given to the mice having cancer.  

b) Dependent variable - is the mice having cancer on which the effect of drug will be studied .  

Therefore, option A is correct

C. The size of the tumor before because it doesn't depend on Drug X's effects or the effects/changes from the scientist.

Describe homeostasis?
Ann [662]

Answer:

Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a constant internal environment of the body with the help of certain mechanisms such as feedback loops.

Explanation:

Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment of the body. It includes maintaining several parameters such as acid-base balance, blood glucose level, body' temperature, etc. within the narrow range.

Homeostasis is mainly maintained with the help of negative feedback loops wherein the deviation of any parameter from the normal physiological range is counteracted and restored.

For example, the blood glucose level remains within the range of 70 and 110 milligrams of glucose per 100 milliliters of blood under normal physiological conditions. Any deviation from the range is restored with the help of pancreatic hormones insulin and glucagon.
