Answer:

Francis Bacon

Explanation:

Philosopher Francis Bacon has argued for inductive reasoning over deductive and thought knowledge can be gained through and the careful observation of events in nature.

He thought inductive reasoning comes from these careful observations and from sorting them "into a formal arrangement so that they may be presented to the understanding.” For him, experiments were the most important tool of discovery, testing hypothesis, and gathering truth from the results.

Although in deductive argument the conclusion is certain, in the inductive argument it is probable and based upon the collected evidence.

For Bacon, however, this was like collecting material found in nature into the basket of knowledge, and he compares this process to producing honey for healthy nurturing. He compared deductive argument to spiders' web when is already drawn out and only gives the conclusion, without any collecting, introducing or usefulness.

Does the following statement describe a function of dna, a function of rna, a function of both dna and rna, or a function of nei

N76 [4]

1) RNA. This is the exact description of the RNA. A RNA is a protein derivated from the DNA, which contain a piece of information, like a protein, that need to be built. The Rna take the message to the cytoplasm, where the the protein is built. RNA is equal to DNA, with the difference that the the base U is complementary of the base A, where in the DNA, the complentary base for A is T.

2) Neither dna or rna. An enzim is a protein that act as a cathalist for many reaction. The role of dna and rna is to keep safe the genetic information and make it available on request to produce proteins and enzims, but per se they are not enzim as they do not act like catalist.

Answer:

The Safety Committee is an example of a horizontal design within an organization.

Explanation:

In a horizontal design, members or workers perform certain tasks in which they are not given orders by the manager. They perform the tasks on their own and might inform the actions to the manager. The same design was being used by the Safety Committee in which the members met twice a month as a committee.

On the other hand, a vertical design is a business design in which the manager simply orders the workers to perform tasks ans all the tasks are performed accordingly to the manager.

Some of the major punishments for Germany were 1) Loss of 10% of total land 2) Loss of all overseas colonies 3) Demilitarization

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

see below *ALSO SPELL CHECK PLEASE GRAMMERLY ISNT WORKING FOR SOME REASON*

Explanation:

In the persepctive of the German people, the post-war punishment that would be percieved as the "harshest" or "most upsetting" was most likely punishment 1,4 and 5, and the ones that were probably viewed as the "east harsh" or insignificant to the German people was punishment 8. The reason that I assume that the harshest, most significant, and most upsetting punishment(s) were 1,4, and 5 is because these are the punishments that effected the german people directly. The loss of land probably led to relocation and people losing homes, property, etc. The fact that Germany has to take the blame for the war led to racism and prosecution of the German people, many of which had nothing to do with the war and wanted it to end as much as everyone else. And, lastly, punishment 5 was one of the most upsetting because the debt that Germany went into (-33 billion dollars!) will no doubt have caused inflammation of prices, poverty, and lack of resources due to low government funding, which would have effected the people the most, especially those who depended on government help and were not doing well financially to begin with. The punishment that was probably the least significant to the German people was 8, "force all military leaders, including Kaiser Wilhelm II to face trials for war crimes". This is because the people did not have a direct relation with any of these leaders, so it does not concern them as much as punishments like 1,4 and 5 did.
