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.

Is the vagus nerve the heart rate centre of the brain?
koban [17]

Answer:

The vagus nerve has two bunches of sensory nerve cell bodies, and it connects the brain stem to the body. It allows the brain to monitor and receive information about several of the body’s different functions.

Explanation:

The vagus nerve is the longest and most complex of the 12 pairs of cranial nerves that emanate from the brain. It transmits information to or from the surface of the brain to tissues and organs elsewhere in the body.

There are multiple nervous system functions provided by the vagus nerve and its related parts. The vagus nerve functions contribute to the autonomic nervous system, which consists of the parasympathetic and sympathetic parts

The vagus nerve has a number of different functions. The four key functions of the vagus nerve are:

-Sensory: From the throat, heart, lungs, and abdomen.

-Special sensory: Provides taste sensation behind the tongue.

-Motor: Provides movement functions for the muscles in the neck responsible for swallowing and speech.

-Parasympathetic: Responsible for the digestive tract, respiration, and heart rate functioning.
