group?

Triss [41]3 years ago
8 0

Answer and Explanation:

During an experiment, data from an experimental group are compared with the data of a control group. These two sets are identical in all aspects except for the independent variable that the researcher changes in the experimental group to observe how they affect the individuals. This variable keeps constant in the control group.

The experimental group is the one that receives the experimental procedure, with changes in the independent variable.  There can be several experimental groups.

In the control group, the variable measured keeps constant, not influencing the results. This isolates the effect of the independent variable on the experiment and helps to find alternative explanations to the different results.

In the exposed example:

  • Control group: Certain amounts of fishes exposed to a normal number of light hours per day. For example, if under natural conditions in its original environment the species is exposed to 12 hour light, then the control group should be exposed constantly to 12 hours light a day to maintain its normal reproductive levels.
  • Experimental group: Certain amounts of fishes, equal to the control group, exposed to a different number of light hours per day. For example, there might be 5 experimental groups: one of them exposed to 4 hours light, a second group exposed to 8 hours light, the third group exposed to 12 hours light (The same as the control group), the fourth group exposed to 16 hours light, and the fifth group exposed to 20 hours light.

Except for light, the rest of the variables should be the same for all the groups.

Answer:

Option 4 - Calcium

Explanation:

The <em>divalent cation </em>called <em>calcium</em> is needed to provide additional support to the bone matrix.

Calcium is considered one of the most <em>important components</em> in bone development. It helps in the formation as well as maintenance of bone. During the modeling and remodeling process of bones, calcium facilitates the formation of <em>semi-hard new tissues</em> which leads to the formation of new bone which is very hard.

Due to this reason, calcium is needed to create extra bone matrix support.

Many different organisms live in Amanda’s garden. The diagram shows a simple food web of some of the organisms in her garden.
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The snakes keep the mice from overpopulating, which could deplete their resources.

Explanation:

The mice and the moles are not competing against each other as they feed on different food. The problem is that if the mice population is not regulated, their very quick reproduction will cause overpopulation in very short space of time. The more mice there will be , the more food will be needed, so very soon the resources will be depleted, resulting in collapse of the mice population. This is where the snakes come in action, as they eat mice, so they are the ones that control and keep their population stable, thus not allowing the mice to overpopulate the area and destroy themselves.

Limestone.

It is a sedimentary rock composed of calcite and aragonite. It is used as a building material mainly because it is easily available and easy to work with.

Limestone is used in the manufacture of steel as it is the primary raw material that helps to remove impurities from the iron ore and produces waste matter  that has low melting point and viscosity
