Emma is curious to see how fertilizer makes a plant grow larger. After doing some research, she believes that the chemicals with

in the fertilizer will make a plant increase in size. She also believes that plants that do not receive fertilizer will be smaller in size. Emma plans to put the same type of plant seed into 6 pots containing soil and fertilizer and monitor how the plants grow. She runs out of fertilizer, though, and decides to put sand into 3 of the pots instead of fertilizer and soil. After the experiment finishes, Emma observes that the plants that had fertilizer grew much larger than the plants with sand. She finally concludes that fertilizer greatly increases the size of a plant. Why is her conclusion invalid?

Her conclusion is invalid because using sand instead of soil slows down plant growth. Fertilizer, on its own, does not 'greatly' increase the size of the plant.

The correct way to do this experiment would be to keep all other parameters same, except the fertilizer. This will give her accurate results.

Question 14 unsaved unlike endocrine glands, exocrine glands question 14 options: release hormones. release secretions directly
Ugo [173]
Exocrine glands release secretions outside of the body.

One way to remember this is:
exo = outside  
endo = inside

An example of an exocrine gland is a sweat gland. They release sweat (an excretion) to the outside of your body.

I hope this helps! I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have :)

You are already familiar with the fact that different organisms often exhibit common adaptations that help them succeed in a giv
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

*Sensory adaptation* is the common adaptation in all three sense. Sensory adaptation is the process in which changes in the sensitivity of sensory receptors occur in relation to the stimulus. All senses are believed to experience sensory adaptation.

Explanation:

This adaptation is shared as well as used differently as explained below.

1) Hearing+balance :In terms of hearing, our ears adapt to loud sound as it hits the small bones located in the inner ear. The loud sound leads the inner ear bone/s to contract. This contraction causes the reduction or delay of transmission of sound vibrations to the inner ear. Detection of the vibrations follows. However, this process of auditory adaptation usually does not work very well with loud sounds that are sudden or instantaneous. Examples of these sounds are gun shots or explosions

2)Smell :Low concentrations of several chemicals present in the air can be detected by the sensory receptors in the nose. These chemicals that we quickly detect include those in perfumes or air fresheners
