Sally wants to know why the leaves of her plants are turning yellow. She suspects it is because the plants are not receiving eno

ugh nutrients. To test her hypothesis, she devises the following experiment.
First, Sally obtains four identical green plants. Then, she places each plant in separate, but identical pots, with the same type and amount of soil. Although Sally gives each plant the same amount of water and Sun exposure each day, she changes the amount of fertilizer placed in each pot. Finally, she records the number of yellow leaves that she sees in each pot every day over the course of one month.

What is the dependent variable in Sally's experiment?
A.
the number of yellow leaves
B.
the type of green plant
C.
the amount of water
D.
the amount of fertilizer

The correct answer is option A, that is, the number of yellow leaves.  

An independent variable refers to the variable, which is monitored or modified in a scientific experiment to examine the influences on the dependent variable. A dependent variable refers to the variable being measured and examined in a scientific test. Hence, in the given case, the number of leaves getting yellow is a dependent variable.  

Both the dependent and the independent variables may be observed in terms of the cause and effect.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option A which is the number of yellow leaves.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • In mathematics modeling , or statistical analysis or in scientific experiments a n independent variable is considered as the input of experiment and it can be changed depending upon the protocols.
  • Dependent variable is the out put of the experiment, that depends upon the independent variable.
  • In the above experiment, sally wants to know about the number of yellow leaves upon changing the fertilizer amount. So input means yellow leaves are dependent variable.

Answer:

<u>3. Hot spots , 4. S shaped mid oceanic ridge,  pacific ocean</u>.

Explanation:

  • The Hawaiian islands are located on the hotspots that are formed by the collision of two strong plates and the presence of volcanoes and high magnitude earthquakes as the pacific plate is continuously moving on the western side as its subducting under the North American plate and hence shrinking in size.
  • The s-shaped Atlantic ocean has mid atlantic ridge and as this ocean spreads the lava is up welding across the ocean floor and hence the opening of the atlantic plate is seen.

Which of the following does not influence the time necessary for a nerve impulse to be transmitted?
Pie

Answer:

e. whether or not the impulse begins in the CNS

Explanation:

Nerve impulse is action potential movement through the axon. Nerve impulse propagation has its velocity (speed at which nerve impulse travels down the axon) which depends on many factors. For example, myelination increases the conduction velocity. Also, the larger the diameter of an axon, the higher the velocity is. Nodes of Ranvier present on the axons, and myelin sheath between the nodes act as a good electrical insulator which also increases the velocity.
