The Canary Islands are commonly thought to be formed by undersea volcanic activity. A marine scientist concluded that the Canary

Islands could not have been formed from volcanic activity because his data showed that the fault on which the islands lies was inactive during the islands' formation. How does this disagreement contribute to the scientific process?
A. Scientific claims are strengthened by evaluating opposing arguments.
B. Scientific logic is made more rigorous by conflicting data collected by different groups.
C. Logical conclusions based on careful measurements are likely to be correct.
D. Scientific hypotheses are disproved when two scientists come to different conclusions.

The correct answer is option A, that is scientific claims are strengthened by evaluating opposing arguments.  

Argument refers to an array of statements used to persuade someone of something or to present reasons for accepting a conclusion. Due to disagreements, one can brainstorm on the aspects that are a bit inconclusive.  

By finding the loopholes in each argument one can generalize the precise and accurate finding considering the issue. Maybe there arises a need to verify the data collected to counter check the conclusions.

Explanation:

  1. All observations and information that scientists perceive and record are called data.
  2. A dependent variable, also known as response variable, defines the treatment/variable that changes in response to the independent variable.
  3. According to the second postulate of the Cell Theory, the cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life.
  4. Cells that perform similar functions are grouped together to form tissues.
  5. An experiment is a controlled setting/test that investigates (proves or disproves) a scientist's hypotheses.
  6. One of the major properties of life is to harvest and convert energy to drive basic cellular processes.
  7. Independent or test variable does not depend on any other factors. It is itself changed to determine its effect on the response variable.The amount of coke is the independent variable.
  8. Homeostasis is defined as an organism's ability to regulate its internal environment in response to fluctuations in the external environment.
  9. A community is a group of populations (different species) inhabiting one place at one time.
  10. In the scientific method, a good theory generates further hypotheses that can be tested.
  11. Multicellular organisms are composed of more than one cells.
  12. Biology is the scientific study of life. <em>Bio</em> means life and <em>logos</em> means study, thought or reasoning.
  13. An ecosystem is an ecological structure in which both biotic and abiotic factors interact with each other.
  14. According to the second postulate of the Cell Theory, the cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life.
  15. Eukaryotes constitute one entire domain of the tree of life. They are distributed in 4 major kingdoms of life.
  16. A dependent variable, also known as response variable, defines the treatment/variable that changes in response to the independent variable.
  17. Homeostasis is defined as an organism's ability to respond and regulate its internal environment in response to fluctuations in the external environment.
  18. Homeostasis is defined as an organism's ability to respond and regulate its internal environment in response to fluctuations in the external environment.
  19. The experimental and control groups differ in the independent variable as only the experimental group receives the variable or treatment.
  20. Quantitative data is quantifiable, numerical data in which the effects of the independent variable on the response variable can be compared through mathematical and statistical tools.
  21. A good theory is universal,broad in scope and substantiated by a large body of evidence.
  22. A good theory is universal,broad in scope and substantiated by a large body of evidence.
  23. A jungle is a group of a single species of dense vegetation.
  24. An organism is an individual living being composed of cells, tissues, organs and organ systems.
  25. Fungi, being saprophytic in nature are the principal decomposers on Earth.
  26. Independent or test variable does not depend on any other factors. It is itself changed to determine its effect on the response variable.
  27. A population is a single species of organisms inhabiting a single area at a time.
  28. Organisms of the domain Archaea are known to be extremophiles i.e. organisms that can survive and thrive in harsh environmental conditions.
  29. A hypothesis is a potential explanation for observable phenomena.
  30. The three domains of life: Eukarya (Eukaryotes), Archaea and Bacteria (Prokaryotes).
  31. The three domains of life: Eukarya (Eukaryotes), Archaea and Bacteria (Prokaryotes).
  32. A cell is made up of different organelles performing diverse functions for the cell.
  33. The properties of life include: order, sensitivity or response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing.
  34. Each level of the hierarchy of life entails the addition of new properties, complexity and more complex functions.
  35. One of the major properties of life is to harvest and convert energy to drive basic cellular processes.
  36. A well tested and substantiated hypothesis leads to the development of a theory that can further be subjected to experimentation.
  37. An ecosystem is an ecological structure in which both biotic and abiotic factors interact with each other.
  38. Independent or test variable does not depend on any other factors. It is itself changed to determine its effect on the response variable.
  39. The three domains of life: Eukarya (Eukaryotes), Archaea and Bacteria (Prokaryotes).

Starting from the sun, create a food chain including at least three organisms. Explain how energy is transferred through the cha
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The food chain showing seven organisms can be drawn as follows:

Plants → grasshoppers → mice → frog → snakes→ eagles → decomposers

The plants are the primary source of food in a food chain or a food web. The animals which feed on plants will be termed as herbivores or primary consumers like the grasshopper. The organisms feeding on primary consumers will be the secondary consumers like mice.

An energy pyramid for three of the organisms can be shown as follows:

              mice (10 kilocalories)

                   ↑

        Grasshoppers (100 kilocalories)

                   ↑

       Plants ( 1000 kilocalories)

As the energy pyramid shows, only about 10% of the energy travels from one trophic level to another.
