<u>Answer</u>: a. This represents the requirements for the highest quality scientific methodology.
This question is part of the problem solving value rubric created by the AACU (The Association of American College and Universities). The number 4 represents the score assigned to the experimental design and the text illustrates the requirements needed to reach it.
a - is the highest score - the capstone
b&c - the milestones
d - the benchmark - the minimum score needed to pass.
Anything lower than the benchmark will be assigned a 0 and failed.
In physical geography<span>, a </span>dune<span> is a </span>hill<span> of loose </span>sand<span> built by </span>wind<span> or the flow of water.</span><span> Dunes occur in different shapes and sizes, formed by interaction with the flow of air or water. Most kinds of dunes are longer on the windward side where the sand is pushed up the dune and have a shorter "slip face" in the lee of the wind. The valley or trough between dunes is called a </span>slack<span>. A "dune field" is an area covered by extensive sand dunes. Dunes occur, for example, in some </span>deserts<span> and along some coasts.</span>
Photosynthesis, in the chloroplasts of the cells
The answer is D. In a
geological era, when the plants and animals
in the then environment die, they get buried
in sediments. These sediments are covered
by other sediments of another geological
time within which are the remains of dead species
of the then geological era. These sediments from different geological times have different properties hence
form visible strata that can be studied to identify the kind of environment in the then geological time. Their
fossils can also be studied to identify
the kind of species that roamed the earth during the time.
