A group of biology students tests the growth of bacteria under different conditions. The students apply the same amount of bacte

ria to identical Petri dishes enriched with nutrients, then place each plate at a different temperature. The bacteria are allowed to grow for three days, after which the number of bacterial colonies on each plate is counted. What is the dependent variable in this experiment? A. the temperature at which the colonies grew B. the number of bacterial colonies after three days C. the nutrient type present in the Petri dishes D. the time of day that the experiment is performed

Answer: Option B

Explanation: Whenever any experiment is performed there are two types of variable in the experiment. One is the dependent variable and other one is the independent variable.

The independent variable can be defined as the variable which is not constant and can be changed in the experiment by the experimenter. Example: The temperature, pH, amount of nutrients.

The dependent variable is actually the result of the experiment which is to be obtained. In the given question the number of bacterial colonies grown after 3 days is the dependent variable.

The whip tail of a vinegaroon is a mimic for a scorpions pincher claws<br> true or false?
Vilka [71]

The statement is - False.

The vinegaroon has became very similar in appearance to the scorpions, by having similar body, similar proportions to certain species, having a whip tail. The whip tail though is not a mimic for the scorpion's pincher claws, but instead, it is a mimic of the scorpion's stinger. This adaptation of the vinegaroon has the purpose to fend of the predators by making them think that it is actually a scorpion and that they will get a nasty poisonous sting. This type of adaptations by mimicking certain traits of more dangerous species can be found in lot of animals from all shapes and sizes.

Officials attempt to control the spread of an exotic wildflower species by introducing its natural predator, a beetle. Unexpecte
Kamila [148]

Answer:

b. The beetle population has few predators in the new habitat.

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the best explanation for this is that there are few or no predators to kill them off. This is due to the fact that a predator to a certain species kills off a certain portion of the population for food which in term maintains the population of the preyed upon species at an average level, and thus prevents them from exponentially growing out of control like what is happening with the beetles.

Predict the levels of glucose glucagon and insulin in a person who has skipped a meal
Svetlanka [38]
Skipping a meal puts one in the "fasting or post-absorbtive state," in which blood glucose levels decrease, leading to a decrease in insulin release, but an increase in glucagon release.
drop in glucose --> decreased insulin, increased glucagon --> glycogenolysis in liver --> glucose release from liver into bloodstream --> ^ blood glucose
