Answer: Independent variable is what is being modified, it is important to compare it to your control group, (which is the original).

Dependent variable is what is being measured, to compare it to the control group to see if your hypothesis works or not.

Explanation: Here's a(n) example:

Bob wanted to take a mint with a mint drop, and he wanted to measure if it can make his breath fresher, but he also wanted to take it with a regular mint to see which is the freshest breath.

Independent variable: Mint drop.

Dependent Variable: Breath (To see if it is going to change with a mint drop.)

Control Group- Regular mint.

What theory explain how a new idea or product gains acceptance and spreads through a specific population or subset of an organiz
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is diffusion of innovation theory.

Explanation:

The DOI or diffusion of innovation theory was postulated in 1962 by E.M. Rogers. It is considered as one of the oldest theories in the field of social science. It was deduced in order to illustrate how with time, a product or an idea attains momentum and spreads via a particular social system or population. The eventual outcome of this diffusion is that the individuals, which are the components of a social system, adopts a novel behavior, notion, or a product.  

Here adoption signifies that an individual does something distinctly than what he or she was doing previously. The prime condition of adoption is that the individual must acquire the behavior, idea, or product as a novel or innovative thing. Getting amended with a novel concept, product, or behavior does not take place instantaneously within a social system, however, it is a thing in which some individuals possess the tendency to adopt a new thing more easily in comparison to others.

lana [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is -transfer fixed carbon dioxide to cells in which the Calvin cycle occurs

Explanation:

In C4 plants the light reaction and Calvin cycle occurs in two different cell that are mesophyll cell and bundle sheath cells. First, the CO₂ is fixed into 4- carbon oxaloacetate by an enzyme PEP carboxylase.  

Then this oxaloacetate is converted into a simpler form called malate. Malate molecule then enters into bundle sheet cell and there it releases one molecule of CO₂. This CO₂ enters the Calvin cycle which results in the sugar formation with the help of enzyme rubisco.

Therefore by releasing of CO₂ molecule by malate in bundle sheet cells, it transfer fixed carbon for the Calvin cycle to occur.
