Answer: Wet or dry environment.

Explanation:

<u>The independent variable is the variable that a researcher manipulates in an experiment in order to carry out a study on the incidence of the expression of the dependent variable.</u> Therefore, the independent variable is the one that changes or is controlled to see its effects on the dependent variable.

Researchers can then design a container with a wet or dry environment. But it's the pillbugs that are going to choose where to go and how long to spend in each part. So the time they spend in each part is a dependent variable since that cannot be controlled by the scientists conducting the experiment. Henceforth, the researches will just record this dependent variable without controlling it. But they can decide what to put in the container to make it wet or dry environment, or whatever they want to design. So wet or dry environment is the independent variable.

How is the circulatory system related to the digestive system??
Papessa [141]
The products of the digestive system are actually tied directly to the circulatory system in that the organs of the digestive system are used to turn ingested food into products that can be absorbed by the blood and then carried to other organs for use as energy or other functions.There are also several links between the digestive system and the respiratory system in that there are organs and muscles that serve both, for example the diaphragm which works to force air into and out of the lungs as well as to force waste products out of the digestive system.<span>All of the systems have to work together as well, without the intake of oxygen and exhalation of carbon dioxide, the function of the digestive system would grind to a halt.  Without the production of glycogen and other things necessary for muscular function, produced by the digestive system and then distributed by the circulatory system, all three functions would cease.</span>

The interaction between which protein and ion initiates muscle coupling?
labwork [276]

Answer:

Troponin and calcium ions.

Explanation:

Troponin is a component of thin filament along with tropomyosin and actin. It is a protein complex to which calcium binds and start the production of muscular force.

Calcium also playing a very important role in muscle contractions, it binds with troponin and helping to move tropomyosin.

When calcium ion attached to troponin, then conformational changes occurs in troponin shape and moves which allow tropomyosin going away from its inhibitory position from the myosin-binding sites on actin. After this, the energized myosin head starts binding to the actin molecules and starts the cross bridge cycle, which helping in shortening the muscle's fiber.
