Studies in which the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) was surgically removed from laboratory mammals demonstrated that the SCN is r

equired for circadian rhythms. But these studies did not reveal whether circadian rhythms originate in the SCN. To answer this question, researchers performed an SCN transplant experiment on wild-type and mutant hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus). For wild-type hamsters, the period between cyclic peaks in activity is 24 hours in the absence of external cues. Hamsters homozygous for the τ (tau) mutation have a period lasting only about 20 hours. In this exercise, you will evaluate the design of this experiment and propose additional experiments to gain further insight. The researchers surgically removed the SCN from wild-type and τ hamsters. Several weeks later, each of these hamsters received a transplant of an SCN from a hamster of the opposite genotype. These transplants restored rhythmic activity in 80% of the hamsters. For hamsters in which an SCN transplant restored a circadian rhythm, the researchers measured the circadian period. The results are shown in the graph. Each red line represents the change in the measured period for an individual hamster. Part A - Understanding the experimental design In a controlled experiment, researchers manipulate one variable at a time. What was the experimental variable in this study?

Answer:

B)  The mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products,

Explanation:

Given that the reaction is balanced, the mass of the reactants must equal to the mass of the products.

We know this by virtue of the law of conservation of mass.

 The law of conservation of mass states that "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed but atoms are rearranged".

 Therefore, if the reaction is chemically balanced, the mass of reactants must be the same as the mass of the products in the reaction.

The second choice is the right one.

Whatts the mechanism behind emotions? why do we have emotions?
Alexeev081 [22]
In biopsychology, there is a system in the brain which is called the limbic system. The limbic system is responsible for one's memory, emotions and instincts -drives.
Many researchers suggest that the existence of emotions helped the animal kingdom to respond to sociality and survive better, emotion can also be translated into care and love. These traits also aid why infants, babies and other offsprings of animals are cared for which has a great influence on the survival of the species.

Amygdala, responsible for pain, aggression and grief which is anterior to the hippocampus factors why our memories have incorporated and is strengthened with emotions at that specific circumstance.
