Two students completed an experiment to determine if pesticide use at local farms was causing fish kills in a local pond. The st

eps of the experiment are listed below. Select one location to collect water samples in the pond. Collect a 5-mL water sample at 8 am for two days. Measure the amount of pesticide present in each sample using the same measurement tools. After analyzing their data, the students conclude that pesticide runoff from farms is not causing the fish to die in the pond. Which of these statements best describes why their conclusion is not reliable?
1)The pesticide measurements were the dependent variable.
2)The samples were collected at different times.
3)The samples were only collected for two days.
4)The time of sample collection was not an independent variable.

Answer: 1). The pesticide measurements were the dependent variable.

Explanation:

An independent variable exerts an influence over the dependent variable when changed.

In the given situation, the amount of pesticide is the independent variable which is responsible for killing the fish. Thus the death of fish is the dependent variable nor the amount of pesticides.

Answer:

1)The pesticide measurements were the dependent variable.

Explanation:

The aim of the experiment was to determine whether the pesticides caused the fish kills. In this scenario, the dependent variable should have been the fish kills and not the pesticides. The amount of pesticides were supposed to be the independent variable.

Independent variables are the variables that change and cause an effect on the test subject or the dependent variable.

The dependent variable is not manipulated, but changes <u>depending</u> on the independent variable.

What animal filled the role of top predator in yellowstone before wolves were reintroduced?
mixer [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

El Parque Nacional de Yellowstone (Estados Unidos), considerado el parque nacional más antiguo del mundo, fue creado en 1872 durante la presidencia de Ulysses S. Grant. En sus inicios, la fauna del parque no recibió la misma protección que hoy en día: los lobos y los pumas fueron eliminados deliberadamente en 1926 y, al cabo de unos años, la población de ciervos aumentó tanto que los administradores del parque reconocieron que los herbívoros estaban alterando la vegetación, por lo que se realizaron matanzas selectivas para controlar la población de dichos animales. Las matanzas selectivas terminaron a finales de los años 60 y la población de ciervos volvió a aumentar, por lo que finalmente se optó por reintroducir el lobo: 14 lobos de la provincia de Alberta (Canadá) fueron liberados en 1995 y otros 17 lobos canadienses en 1996. "La reintroducción del lobo (Canis lupus) en el Parque Nacional de Yellowstone es el experimento ecológico más celebrado de la historia", así comienza un estudio publicado en Journal of Mammalogy por Mark Boyce, de la Universidad de Alberta.

Answer:

New vegetation and animals came to this place when the environment is suitable.

Explanation:

The ash and rock strewn surface began to undergo primary succession after few month when the soil is cool down because the soil has nutritive medium that helps the vegetation to grow on that land. In the primary succession, the new vegetation grows which is well suited to that environmental condition and uses the nutrients present in that soil for its growth and development. Many new organisms also came to this new landscape when the environment is suitable.

What are the characteristics that best define a macromolecules
Airida [17]

<em>Four main classes that define a macromolecules are</em><em> </em>

  • <em>Protein</em>
  • <em>carbohydrates </em>
  • <em>lipids</em>
  • <em>nucleic acid</em>

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

Macro-molecule is a large molecule which can contain more than 100's and 1000's of atoms. They are different from the smaller molecules and each macro-molecule does more than one function.

Macro-molecules are made up of single elements of monomers joined using covalent bonds and a large polymer is formed. For example, one molecule of polyethylene which is plastic has more than 2500 methylene groups, each one of them has two hydrogen and one carbon atoms.

Cholesterol serves several essential functions in mammalian cells. Which of the following is not influenced by cholesterol?
svet-max [94.6K]

The correct answer is: d. membrane thickness

Cholesterol is the second major lipid in the structure of the cell membrane (phospholipids are the major lipid components).

Cholesterol is rigid, so it gives the cell membrane extra support (strength and hardness) by immobilizing some of the lipid molecules around them. This rigidity makes it harder for small molecules to pass through the membrane, so it also has the influence on cell membrane’s permeability (the membrane becomes effective barrier to ions).

Cell membrane’s fluidity is also under the influence of the cholesterol which helps generate some extra space between the lipids allowing them to move freely throughout the membrane.
