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:
d. Views could be used to make topographic maps of the area.
Explanation:
Satellite views helps the planners in choosing a location for the airport because it provides topographic maps of the area which contains all information about natural features of that area such as roads, railways, power transmission lines, contours, elevations, rivers and lakes. So the satellite images provides a great help to the planners to find out suitable place for the airport.
Answer:
chromosomes.
Explanation:
Chromosomes occur as strands of long-chain protein molecules called DNA. Chromosomes are made up of two strands each called chromatid . The chromatids are joined at a point called centromere. During prophase, the chromosomes become tightly coiled and so appear shorter and thicker. Parts of chromosomes form functional units called genes which determine different activities of the cell. Genes are hereditary and can be transmitted from parent to off-spring.
In active transport, materials move from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration (goes down the concentration gradient) and it requires or uses energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
