Answer:
The dependent variable - the cholesterol level
Independent variables are the exercise and the drug.
Explanation:
A variable is a factor that can be modified or change. It is the factor that can be measured, altered, controlled in research or the experiment. It can be dependent or independent of their effect.
The independent variable is the factor of the experiment that controlled or manipulated by the researcher and it is considered to have a direct effect on the dependent variable whereas the dependent variable is being checked or tested.
So, in this experiment, the variable that is being tested is the cholesterol level that means it is a dependent variable. The independent variable here is exercise and drug as they manipulate and have an effect on the direct variable.
Thus, the correct answer is -
The dependent variable -the cholesterol level and
independent variables - exercise and the drug.
Answer and Explanation:
Pneumonia is the inflammation of the lungs, usually caused by an infection. It affects the respiratory system (lungs and throat) and causes minor injuries, which are the gateway to the pneumococcus. As a person's resistance is lower (which are in elderly people), the bacteria can multiply and end up causing an infection in the lungs.
The main symptoms are: cough with phlegm; high fever; shortness of breath; chest pain; accelerated breathing and feeling of weakness. Older patients may not have a fever, but may have mental confusion.
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes severe problems mainly on the respiratory system, but also on other organs such as the pancreas or the liver. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that an individual needs to inherit one copy of the gene from each parent in order to have the disease. The disorder is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes the protein that participates in the transport salt intracellularly. This mutation causes a defect in the production of mucus, sweat and digestive fluid. In patients suffering from cystic fibrosis, these bodily fluids and the mucus are sticky and thick. This change in consistency causes severe damage to the respiratory and digestive systems.
