Answer:

Due to high specific heat of water than the needle.

Explanation:

The needle is a good conductor of heat. When the sunlight falls on it, it gets heat quickly. In the case of water, it takes more time to get heat. This is because the specific heat of water is more than any other substance. Specific heat is the amount of heat needed for 1gm of substance to get 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature. In water, it takes more time to heat. That's why the ocean, rivers take a long time to get heat than the land which causes sea breezes and land breezes. The water can hold the heat unless every atom of it gets heated. Water uses as the insulator for the heated objects. This is the very reason the water becomes less heat than the needle.

The correct answer is

Because the needle can't hold as much heat as the bucket of water. Therefore the water can hold and disperse more heat and the needle will be hotter.

Increasing the I concentrations of carbon dioxide available to aquatic plants will increase the rate of photosynthesis as measur

Andru [333]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Independent variable - change in the concentration of carbon dioxide

Dependent variable - bubbles produced

Explanation:

The independent variable of an experiment or study is a variable that is subject to change or being manipulated during the study to find the response on the dependent variable. The concentration of carbon dioxide is here manipulated to find the change in the amount of bubble produced.

The dependent variable is a response that is carried out by the change or manipulation of the independent factor. In this case amount of bubbles is the dependent variable.

Thus, the correct answer is -

Independent variable - change in the concentration of carbon dioxide

Dependent variable - bubbles produced
