Jason wanted to find out how he could increase the number of popcorn kernels that pop when cooked. He hypothesized that more ker

nels would pop if he used more oil. To test this, he placed 100 kernels of “Pop Rite’ popcorn into a popcorn popper that contained different amounts of oil. He used the following amounts of oil: 5 mL, 10 mL, 15 mL, 20 mL, and 25 mL He conducted the test 3 times for each amount of oil. He then counted the number of kernels that had popped. Each time he heated the oil for 2 minutes and cooked the popcorn for 4 minutes.

Answer:

This question is incomplete, it is asking to identify the following variables in the question:

Independent Variable: DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF OIL

Dependent Variables: NUMBER OF KERNELS THAT POPPED

Controlled Variables: TIME FOR POPPING, SAME BRAND OF KERNEL, SAME COOKING TIME

Explanation:

The independent variable of an experiment refers to the variable that the experimenter intentionally manipulates or changes for the purpose of effecting a measurable response in another variable (dependent variable). In this experiment, the independent variable is DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF OIL used because this is what Jason changes in the experiment.

Contrarily, the dependent variable is the variable that the experimenter measures in response to the independent variable. In this experiment, Jason measures the NUMBER OF KERNELS THAT POPPED from using different amounts of oil. Hence, the NUMBER OF KERNELS THAT POPPED is the dependent variable.

Controlled variables or constants are those variables that must be kept constant or unchanged throughout the experiment in order not to influence the findings of the experiment. In this case, the following variables were kept constant for all the groups: TIME FOR POPPING , SAME BRAND OF KERNEL (Pop rite), SAME COOKING TIME (4 mins).

When is cladistics more useful than linnaean taxonomy
katrin [286]

Answer:

D. When you are analyzing DNA of organisms

Explanation:

Cladistics is focused on tracing common ancestors, which relies not only on physical characteristics but also DNA evidences. Cladistics is also known as modern taxonomy. Linnean taxonomy is more on the physical characteristics, which is also called traditional taxonomy. As technology progressed so did taxanomic categories, which allowed researchers to compare DNA to determine similarities in seemingly unrelated animals.

Why a plant which is left in the dark for a long period of time will test negative for starch?
Zanzabum
When a plant is left in dark for several hours, it does not get sunlight. Isn't it?
When a plant does not get sunlight, it cannot prepare food for itself , i.e, photosynthesis does not take place. When it does not prepare food in the form of starch, it will test negative for it.

hope it helps!
