A biology student is studying ways to grow crops in soils that are high in salts and other dissolved solids. To determine whethe

r corn plants can tolerate salty soil conditions, she grows 50 corn plants in typical garden soil and 50 corn plants in the same garden soil plus 0.01 kilograms of salt. After 6 weeks of growth, the corn plants grown in salty soil were the same mass and height as the corn plants grown in non-salty garden soil. The student concluded that salt had no effect on the growth of corn.
What comment would you make to the student regarding her experimental design and conclusion?
A) The experimental design included both a control and an experimental group. The conclusion is valid.
B) The student should have used more plants in each sample group; the larger the sample size, the more valid the results.
C) The conclusion is not valid. Increasingly high amounts of salt should have been added to more corn plots for comparison.
D) Although the conclusion is valid, next time the student might want to grow corn in plots with different water and temperature conditions as well.

I'm not for sure but I think its C.
I don't think 0.01 kilo of salt would make much difference, but I'm not positive.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

The experimental design to test a hypothesis must include all the parameters to be tested. The experimental design should include two types of samples: experimental groups in which the independent variable can be manipulated and the control group in which the variable to be studied must be absent.

In the given experiment the student tried to study the tolerance of the corn plants to salinity. So the amount of salt must be provided in different concentrations in experimental samples. The different amount of salt will help the student to compare the tolerance of corn plants in different concentration and will lessen the errors.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Which of the following best describes the function of the sympathetic nervous system?
DiKsa [7]

Answer;

B. It arouses the body and expends energy.

Explanation;

-The autonomic nervous system controls the insides of the body: the viscera or gut. It carries information about the inside of the body to the CNS and controls the action of internal organs. The autonomic nervous system has two divisions: the sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division.

-The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for intense physical activity and is often referred to as the fight-or-flight response. The parasympathetic nervous system has almost the exact opposite effect and relaxes the body and inhibits or slows many high energy functions.

Why where the Galapagos Turtles different from the mainland turtles if they shared a common ancestor?​
Nesterboy [21]
Speciation! Speciation occurs when a single species becomes two or more separate populations by a geographical barrier. This changes each population’s environment which forces them to adapt. Eventually these populations will become so different from each other that they will not be able to interbreed populations and create fertile offspring. This is what makes them different species, but they still share a common ancestor.

slega [8]

Answer:

The correct answer is explained below:

Explanation:

  • Flooding and intrusion of salt water in the low lying areas can adversely affect human life. This can happen in the following ways:
  1. Flooding can cause many people to die due to drowning in the flood water.
  2. Many people lose their habitat and all their belongings due to the entry of water into the settlements having only the ground floors. These people need to rehabilitated to safer regions.
  3. The saline water percolates through the ground and mixes with the fresh water present in the water table, thereby making them saline and non-consumable.
  4. People have to face the dearth of food, drinking water, clothes and electricity until rescue operations are sent.
  5. Increased chance of transmission of water-communicable or water-borne diseases like diarrhoea.
