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 below.
1. Select one location to collect water samples in the pond.
2. Collect a 5-ml water sample at 8 am, 12 pm, and 6 pm for 10 days.
3. Measure the amount of pesticide present in each sample using different measurement tools.
After analyzing their data, the students conclude that pesticide runoff from farms is causing the fish to die in the pond. Which of these stat
why their conclusion is not valid?
Different measuring tools are used to measure the water samples.
The pesticide measurements were the controlled variable
The samples were collected for multiple days at the same times of day.
The time and day of sample collection was not an independent variable.
The main role of carbonic anhydrase in humans is to catalyze the conversion of carbon dioxide to carbonic acid and back again. However, it can also help with CO2 transport in the blood which in turn helps respiration. It can even function in the formation of hydrochloric acid by the stomach.
