The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable.
An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable.
A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.
The dependent variable is 'dependent' on the independent variable. As the experimenter changes the independent variable, the effect on the dependent variable is observed and recorded.
For example, a scientist wants to see if the brightness of light has any effect on a moth being attracted to the light. The brightness of the light is controlled by the scientist. This would be the independent variable. How the moth reacts to the different light levels (distance to light source) would be the dependent variable.
When results are plotted in graphs, the convention is to use the independent variable as the x-axis and the dependent variable as the y-axis.
Answer:
Cyanobacteria. (Ans. A)
Explanation:
Cyanobacteria are prokaryotes, are a phylum of bacteria. They are also called as blue-green algae and obtain their energy through the process of photosynthesis. They are commonly found in fresh water and terrestrial environment such as land, in rocks even in animal cells (fur).
Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic (oxygenic) bacteria. They harvest the energy of sun, absorb carbon dioxide and release O2. Cyanobacteria also contain chlorophyll such as plants and algae and convert carbon dioxide to sugar through the process of carbon fixation.
Cyanobacteria lack nucleus and other organelles like found in algae and plants. Instead of these they have double outer cell membrane and folded inner thylakoid member which are used in the process of photosynthesis.
Bioprospecting is the search for plant and animal species from which medicinal drugs and other commercially valuable compounds can be obtained.
Based on this I think it could be B.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
The correct answer is- The warm Gulf Stream helps maintain moderate temperature in coastal regions in southern Florida.
Explanation:
The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the first option. Coral reefs are built by a small organism called a polyp. The polyp creates the structure of the coral reef by building a CUP out of a calcium carbonate. The skeletons of these tiny corals s<span>ecreted by the lower portion of the polyp.
