you have selected the following prediction to test: Previously thinned forests will have higher tree survival than adjacent fore

sts that were not thinned. Now you need to define the key variables that you will use to test this prediction. For the following variables, sort them as independent variables, dependent variables, or variables that should be controlled (held constant)1. thinning or no thinning before the fire elevation of the site 2. dominant tree species 3. tree survival rate after the fire A. Independent variableB. Dependent variable C. Controlled variable

Answer:

A. Independent variable 2. dominant tree species

B. Dependent variable  3. tree survival rate after the fire

C. Controlled variable 1. thinning or no thinning before the fire elevation of the site

Explanation:  

A. An independent variable doesn't undergo changes during the experiment because it is not conditioned by other variables in the experiment. In this example, dominant tree species represent a variable that is independent of the experiment itself.

B. A dependent variable is those that you need to measure and depends on the other factors in the experiment. In this example, tree survival is dependent on the factors that affect the results (i.e. humidity in the trees, presence of resinous material in the trees that are non-combustible, etc.)

C. A controlled variable is those that we use to observe an expected outcome in the experiment and therefore it is used to compare with the test group. In this case, thinning or no thinning are used as positive and negative controls, respectively, because they enable their comparison with the test group in the experiment.

Furkat [3]

Answer:

Action potentials can travel along axons at speeds of 0.1-100 m/s. This means that nerve impulses can get from one part of a body to another in a few milliseconds, which allows for fast responses to stimuli

What occurs after sunlight is absorbed by a chloroplast?
OLga [1]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

A cannot be true as photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and water and uses light energy to break bonds and form oxygen and glucose

C cannot be true as chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which gives the cell its green colour by not absorbing green wavelengths of white light

D is not right as I do not believe photosynthesis is a basic function

Can a tornado pick up a person and send it to another island?
____ [38]

Answer: almost imposiable

Explanation: If you do happen to get picked up a tornado the longest time you will stay in it is approximately 5 minutes before it throws you out of it. If you did so happen to be swept in a tornado near a island it is possiable, but tornados over water die very very fast so this is very unlikley.
