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 time of day that the experiment is performed
B.
the number of bacterial colonies after three days
C.
the temperature at which the colonies grew
D.

Answer:

B. the number of bacterial colonies after three days

Explanation:

As you may already know, a scientific experiment is composed of dependent and independent variables, being necessary that you know how to recognize each one of them.

In summary, an independent variable is one that influences a situation to happen, it influences another variable and it is not necessary to suffer any influence to cause a result. The dependent variable, on the other hand, is influenced by the independent variable and needs that influence to demonstrate a result.

As we saw in the experiment above, the students applied the same amount of bacteria to identical Petri dishes enriched with nutrients and put each plate at a different temperature. This temperature will influence the growth of bacteria for three days. Thus, we can conclude that temperature is the independent variable, while the growth of bacterial colonies is the dependent variable.

Which of the following population rates is most affected by the species' gestational period?
Tomtit [17]

The correct answer is Birth.

The two elements that raise population size are natality—the number of people who are added to a population over time as a result of reproduction—and immigration—the movement of people into a location. Most births are to folks who are young adults or older. Even at replacement fertility levels (when each woman has approximately an average of two children), there will be more births than deaths if the proportion of young adults to older adults is higher where mortality is highest. Immigration and birth rates lead to population growth. The population shrinks as a result of death rates and emigration. A population that has a negative growth rate is one in which there are more deaths and emigrants than births.

Explain the significance of meiosis in sexual reproduction
iogann1982 [59]

Answer: Meiosis produces the sex cells, that is the gametes (sperm cells and eggs) that unite to form a zygote. Meiosis ensures that the gametes have have haploid chromosomes so that the resulting zygote from their fusion will have diploid chromosomes.

Explanation: Meiosis is a type of cell division in which a cell divides twice to produce four daughter cells each with the half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Without meiosis new gametes are not produced. Meiosis ensures that the chromosomes are evenly distributed among the daughter cells and that each daughter cell contains 23 chromosomes. A sperm cell with 23 chromosomes fuses with an egg with 23 chromosomes to form a zygote with 46 chromosomes. If meiosis does not occur, gametes with haploid chromosomes will not be produced, and if the gametes have diploid chromosomes because meiosis does not occur, sexual reproduction will be a disaster because when two diploid gametes fuse the resulting zygote with be abnormal.

Organisms contain different levels of organization within their bodies. Arachnoidiscus ehrenbergi, pictured below, is a single-c
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Cell level organization

Explanation:

Organisms are composed of different level of organizations like atomic level, molecular level, cell level, tissue level, organ  level, system level after which whole organism if formed.

If we talk about <u>Arachnoidiscus</u> <u>ehrenbergi </u> it is one celled organism belonging to a group of algae. If we talk about human stomach it is an organ made up of several tissues which in-turn are made up of several cells.

So what is common in both?

It is a cell that is common in both, because cell is the basic unit for life of <u>Arachnoidiscus</u> <u>ehrenbergi </u>and a unit of the composition of whole stomach.
