Both involve chemical bonds breaking
Answer:
a.) The garden plants provide energy to all the other organisms. While not every organism consumes garden plants directly, every organism's food lineage can be traced to garden plants. For instance, while ground beetles do not directly consume garden plants, they do eat snails, and snails eat garden plants.
b.) The slug population might increase is the aphid population decreased because there would be less competition for food resources. Both populations consume garden plants, and there is only a finite number of garden plants. Therefore, there is a limit that each population can consume. If there were less aphids eating the garden plants, there would be more left for the slugs. Less starving slugs would lead to greater reproduction and thus a higher slug population.
Explanation:
The solution of the lactic acd and sodium lactate is referred to as a buffer solution.
A buffer solution is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or vice versa. In this case, the weak acid is the lactic acid and the conjugate base is the sodium lactate.
Buffer solutions are generally known to resist change in pH values.
When a strong base (in this case, NaOH) is added to the buffer, the lactic acid will give up its H+ in order to transform the base (OH-) into water (H2O) and the conjugate base, so we have:
HA + OH- → A- + H2O.
Since the added OH- is consumed by this reaction, the pH will change only slightly.
The NaOH reacts with the weak acid present in the buffer sollution.
Answer:
The type of liquid in the tub (salt water or vinegar)
Explanation:
<em>The manipulated independent variable in Anita's experiment is </em><em>the type of liquid in the tub. </em>
The independent variable is the controlled or manipulated variable in the course of an experiment. It can also be referred to as the 'cause' variable which has the capacity to produce 'effects' on another variable - the dependent variable.
In this case, the type of liquid the tub is filled (salt water or vinegar) will hypothetically affect the rusting period of the steel. Hence, the dependent variable is the type of liquid the tub is filled while the dependent variable would be the time it takes for the steel to get rusted.
