An experiment is designed to test what color of light will activate a photoelectric cell the best. The photocell is set in a cir

cuit that "clicks" in response to current. The faster the current, the more clicks per minute. In this experiment, the number of clicks in one minute is recorded for each color of light shining on the photocell. To change the color of light, a different color of cellophane is placed over the same flashlight and the flashlight is then located a specific distance from the photocell.

Answer: the color of light shining on the photocell.

Explanation:

1) In an experiment there are two kind of variables: independent variables and dependent variables.

2) The independent variable is the one that can be changed or manipulated. This is done because you want to learn how the changes in this variable may explain or are related to other variable (the dependent variable).

In the description of the experiment, the color of the light is being changed, by placing different color of cellophanes ove the same flashlight.

This is how, keeping the control over other possible variables (the flashlight kind and its distance from the photocell, for example) the experimenter manages to change one only variable: the color of light.

3) On the other hand, the dependent variable, is the variable that is being explained. You do not manipulate the dependent variable directly but you want to learn to what extent this dependent variable is determined by, explained by, predicted by, or simply related to, the independent variable.

In conclusion, the independent variable is the color of light.

How did humans and animals adapt/survive to hurricane Katrina? AND Give examples of organisms that could not adapt/survive? PLS

Some organisms that could not survive where cats, dogs, birds, horses, fish, cows, every animal that was in hurricane Katrina was affected by it. Some of these animals were able to survive and others were rescued from near death.
Most of the animals could not adapt to this change because they are not used to this type of change. The water was too strong for the fish and when the water brought the fish into any water/sea animal there was also medal because the water in through peoples houses (pretty much the man-made stuff that's not meant for sea is killing the animals in the water). 
Any animal that was left behind was affected. The animals could not adapt to this change they have never experienced something that tragic before, how they survived? Well, the animals that survived was mainly because of there natural instinct, before an earthquake or anything hits there are many animals that can sense the storm coming before it even hits and in this situation, the animal could, wake up, run to owner, flee, run to higher ground, and if they cant sense it. They see whats going on around them and then they know something is wrong.
