Why is redi's experiment a good example of a controlled experiment

Biology
1 answer:
Step2247 [10]3 years ago
4 0
A controlled experiment is when the experimenter can change one variable in the experiment and completely change the results.

Redi experiment involved a closed jar with rotting meat on the inside. He waited for a few days and found no new forms of life in the jar.
He then did the same experiment, but this time he took the lid off the jar. After those few days he found there were maggots in the rotting meat from flies.

This is a great example of a controlled experiment, because he only had to change one variable to completely change the results. In this case that variable was just removing the lid from the jar.

Redi was trying to prove spontaneous generation with his experiment. Although, it failed.

Spontaneous generation: When life forms from non-livings.

Redi disproved spontaneous generation, but proved biogenesis.

Biogenesis: When life comes from other living beings.

He proved biogenesis because the flies had reproduced when the jar was opened.

From left to right, which is the sequence of the<br> complementary strand of DNA in this molecule?
ladessa [460]

Answer: Option A) A-C-T-T-G

Explanation:

The base sequence on a strand of DNA is usually paired to specific complimentary bases. These specific pairings are as follows:

Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T)

Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C). So when you find A replace with T, so also replace C with G and vice versa.

Thus, the complimentary sequence of the T-G-A-A-C DNA strand is A-C-T-T-G

Which branch of the autonomic nervous system (ans) mobilizes the body during extreme situations, such as rage or fear?
Shalnov [3]
There are two branches of the autonomic nervous system, namely the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous systems. Both of which regulates bodily functions involuntarily but in different manners. The parasympathetic system is the system primarily activated in "relaxed" states or "rest and digest" states. These include digestion, urination, slowing of heart rate, slowing of respiratory rate, etc. The sympathetic nervous system on the other hand is primarily activated by "flight or flight" response such as rage or fear. These include inhibition of digestion, increase in heart rate and respiratory rate, sweating, etc.

Why do areas of lower pressure usually experience stormy weather
alina1380 [7]
The air begins to rise into the atmosphere. When air rises, it cools down and condenses into precipitation and clouds. This is why an approaching low pressure system means an increased chance for clouds, rain, or snow. It is called "low pressure" because as air rises, the air pressure is lower at the surface.
