A researcher is studying how depression tends to be experienced by people of different ages. The researcher interviews depressed adolescents, young adults, individuals in their 30s and 50s, and those over 70 years old. The research design being used is called <u>cross-sectional</u>.
<u>Option: D</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
A kind of design for observational study is understood as a cross-sectional framework. In a cross-sectional analysis the investigator simultaneously tests the participants in the study's result and exposures. Through cross sectional studies one can estimate the prevalence of disease.
A cross-sectional analysis, for instance, could be used to assess whether vulnerability to specific risk factors would correlate with specific outcomes. For illustration, a researcher may gather cross-sectional data about past smoking habits and current lung cancer diagnoses.
The position of the diver is described as "below a certain point"; therefore, the reference point must be above the diver. For a diver in the middle of his dive, the bottom of the pool, the other swimmers and the far side of the swimming pool are likely to be below the diver, or at level with the diver at most. Out of the options, the only point of reference that is likely to be above the diver is B. the diving board.
If a cell membrane became impermeable, instead of selectively permeable, the cell would not remain alive, though certain organisms would be able to stay alive longer than others. This is because the cell membrane allows essential molecules and substances such as oxygen into the cell, while allowing harmful substances, like waste, out of the cell.
