Mrs. Adams designed a demonstration to introduce animal behavior to her students. She placed 250 brine shrimp in a long piece of

tubing. The left half of the tubing was covered, and a lamp was placed over the right half.
After 20 minutes, 241 of the shrimp were found in the left half of the tubing, and 9 shrimp were found in the right half.
Based on the data, half of the class concluded that brine shrimp prefer dark areas. The other half of the class concluded that brine shrimp prefer cooler temperatures.

What is the best explanation for why the class made different conclusions?
A.
The data collected during the demonstration potentially supports both conclusions.
B.
Half of the students in the class did not pay attention to the demonstration.
C.
The students should have concluded that shrimp prefer higher temperatures.
D.
Some of the shrimp preferred dark, and some of the shrimp preferred light.

Answer:

The correct answer is A.  The data collected during the demonstration potentially supports both conclusions.

Explanation:

In the given question students are learning about the behavior of brine shrimp. So in the experiment, it is shown that out of 250 brine shrimp 241 shrimp moves towards half of the tubing which was covered that means they are moving towards dark portion so it is one of the possibilities that shrimp likes the dark area to live.

This dark portion is having less temperature than the bright area which is not covered which is another possibility of movement of shrimp in that area of the tube.  

Therefore both the conclusions are possible so the correct answer is A.  The data collected during the demonstration potentially supports both conclusions.

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Tan fur helps the mice protect themselves from predators

Explanation:

The entrenchment of this phenotype in the population is powered by natural selection pressures. The mice with fur color that enable them to camouflage with their environment are predated less than mice with other fur colors. These tan mice are therefore more likely to survive and pass their genes to the next generation. Through successive generations, the allelic frequency for the tan fur color increases until it is the dominant allele in the population.

Develop a hypothesis regarding how using contaminated or purified water might affect plant biodiversity. which pot do you believ
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Contaminated water such as polluted water can sometimes cause an explosion of new plant growth by providing necessary nutrients and food and at other times it can kill or harm plants such as by raising or lowering acidity. Plants need at least good levels of potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus for healthy growth and by corollary, biodiversity. I believe that water which contains these elements, even if it be contaminated with the right contaminants will aid in biodiversity by enhancing growth. On the other hand, if there is too much salt, for example in the water it will prevent growth and inhibit photosynthesis.

All orginsims grow and reproduce but how? And what about replacing those old and damaged cells?
poizon [28]
Example:
When you skin your knee, cells divide to replace old, dead, or damaged cells. Cells also divide so living things can grow. When organisms grow, it isn't because cells are getting larger. Organisms grow because cells are dividing to produce more and more cells.
