(b) Identify the dependent variable in the experiments. Identify a control group missing from the second experiment. Justify the
hammer [34]

Hello. You have not submitted the experiments to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

A dependent variable is one that is influenced by an element, in order to present a result, that is, it is a variable that does not establish itself, being dependent on another variable to establish itself. An example of a dependent variable can be seen in an experiment that seeks to determine the differences in growth rates of bean plants that were fertilized with different organic fertilizers. As you can see, this is an experiment where the different organic fertilizers influence differences in the growth rate of bean plants. Thus, the growth of these plants depends on the fertilizer, this growth being the variable dependent on the experiment.

A control group, in turn, is an element of the experiment that does not receive the element that is being tested in the same experiment. The control group is important, because it allows the researcher to see the results of a system where the tested element does not exist, thus being able to determine the real differences that the tested element is capable of causing. Using the same example presented in the paragraph above, we can see that the different organic fertilizers are the elements tested in the experiment. These fertilizers will be applied to the plants, however it is important that at least one of these plants does not receive any fertilizer, so that the difference between a system with fertilizer and a system without fertilizer can be evaluated. This plant that received no fertilizer is the control group.

Why does the actions of the thymus demonstrate a close functional connection between the lymphatic system and the endocrine syst
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The Thymus is a unique gland which protects the body against autoimmunity when the immune system act against itself.Hence the Thymus plays a significant role the dual systems i.e.,the lymphatic system (body’s defensive mechanism) and the endocrine system

The Thymus is special gland located anteriorly to the chest directly behind the sternum and in between the lungs. Active until puberty and gradually shrinks to become fat after puberty.

Function: Prior to birth and during childhood thymus engage in producing and maturation of T-lymphocytes or T-cells a particular type of white blood cells which defence the body against infectious disease germs.Though the organ does not function throughout the life span but it plays a significant role protecting the body against autoimmunity refers to an immune system works against itself .Therefore the thymus plays a key role in lymphatic system and an endocrine system.

Secretion:Thymus secretes Thymosin a hormone it instigates the development of T-Cells ( disease resisting cells) Thymosin stimulates the development of T-Cells until a human attains its puberty. At the age of 75 thymus becomes a fatty tissue.

jeyben [28]

<u>Answer</u>:- <em>Option 3 </em>(desert), <em>Option 4</em> (tundra) and <em>Option 5</em> (grassland).

<u>Explanation</u>:-

The amount of rainfall varies in different biomes:-

1. Tropical rain forests - The annual rainfall in these forests falls in the range of <em>125 to 660 cm</em> which varies according to the seasons.

2. Temperate rain forest - The annual rainfall in these forests can range from <em>200 cm to 350 cm</em> depending on the region where they are found. The annual rainfall is higher in warmer regions .

3. Desert - As the name suggests, the desert areas do not get enough rainfall. The annual rainfall in a desert is less than <em>25 cm</em>.

4. Tundra - It is a biome which is found in relatively cooler climates and the amount of rainfall is very less these regions. The annual rainfall in tundra biomes is less than <em>20 cm</em>.

5. Grassland - in these biomes, the rainfall is higher than the tundra and desert but is not as high as the rain forests and thus, grass is the dominant vegetation. The annual rainfall ranges from <em>60-90 cm</em>.
