The city of Los Angeles wants to know if there is a connection between physical fitness and air pollution. Fifty volunteers from

the mayor’s office agree to be tested. First, they are asked to ride a stationary bike for 1 hour in a pollution-free air chamber. A week later, the 50 volunteers return and are again asked to ride a stationary bike for 1 hour in a chamber filled with air pollutants common to Los Angeles. Their heart rates are monitored throughout the 1 hour bike rides. Name the control group Name the experimental group Name the independent variable Name the dependent variable

Answer:

Control group: volunteer stationary bike riders in a pollution-free chamber

Experimental group: volunteer stationary bike riders in a chamber filled with air pollutants common to Los Angeles

Independent variable: exposure to air pollution

Dependent variable: The heart rates (physical fitness) of the volunteer riders.

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, data is compared between the control group and experimental group to ascertain the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable. A control group is the group in an experiment that is not treated with the independent variable i.e. the independent variable is controlled while the experimental group is the group that is treated with an independent variable.

N.B: The independent variable is the variable controlled by the experimenter in order to influence the dependent variable (measurable outcome).

In this experiment, the independent variable is the AIR POLLUTION the volunteer riders are exposed to while the dependent variable is the PHYSICAL FITNESS/ HEART RATES of the volunteer riders, which is dependent on the exposure to air pollution (independent variable).

The control group in this experiment is the volunteer riders placed in a POLLUTION-FREE CHAMBER where the independent variable cannot influence or have any effect on the measurable variable (dependent). The experimental group is the volunteer riders placed in a CHAMBER FILLED WITH AIR POLLUTANTS. The independent variable (air pollution) has been changed in the experimental group.

telo118 [61]
The answer is most likely B). 'The harmless bacteria would not have been transformed, and the mice would have lived,' because, then bacterium transform, they use the genetic material present in their environment to do so, and when Avery destroyed the nucleotide bases(Genetic material) with an enzyme he destroyed any chances that the bacteria would have had at transforming into the virulent strain.

Describe a horse walks along a straight path it travels 3 m in one second 4 m in the next second and 5 m in the third second des
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: The motion is accelerated.


Step-by-step explanation: Given that the horse is walking along a straight line.

The horse travels 3 m in first second, so its speed is 3m/s.

In the next second, the horse travels 4 m, so its speed is 4 m/s.

In the third second, the horse travels 5 m, so its speed is 5 m/s.

Since the speed of the horse is increasing per second i.e., the speed in not constant, so the motion of the horse is accelerated.

If, and only blood sugar levels rise past a certain point, the cells will release a hormone called insulin. Insulin acts as a/an
lakkis [162]

Answer:

When blood glucose level rises beyond the threshold levels, the pancreas secrets hormones insulin. The latter ensures entry of  glucose into the cells through Glut transporters for cellular utilization, therefore reducing the blood levels., and promotes storage as glycogen in the liver and muscles.  

How ever if  the glucose levels drops below the  set point, an hormone glucagon is also produce by the pancreas to cause the liver o withdrawal and breakdown glucose storage as  glycogen back to glucose thus raising the blood glucose level back to the normal levels.

This is an example of negative feedback mechanism, because the increase in the input levels (blood glucose levels) brings about a counter  mechanisms (insulin secretions)as output , to reduce the  elevated   levels by promoting  entry into the cells,, thus bringing the levels to threshold levels.

Thus insulin is acting in a negative feedback mechanism to control blood glucose levels
