Answer:

X is the concentration of the substance being measured and Y is the response from the instrument that is being used to measure

Explanation:

A calibration curve is the plot of known concentration of substances where x is the increasing known concentration and Y is the response, typically "absorption" taken from the instrument that is used for measuring. This curve is then used to find out the concentration of the unknown substance by using it's absorbance and comparing it with the calibration curve. For example:

Concentrations and absorbance readings are as follows

0.5mg/mL=10 nm

1.0mg/mL=15nm

1.5mg/mL=20nm

2.0mg/mL=25nm

This data is plotted on a calibration curve. Next we measure the unknown substance the absorption is 20nm. We can suggest that the concentration is 1.5 mg/mL. If there are readings that fall inbetwen values then the formulat to calculate the right concentration would be y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Linear regression uses the modification of the slope formula y= a + bx to best see how the data of the water samples would fit on the slope of the calibration curve. X is the independent variable , b is the slope of the line and a is the y-intercept.

Extrapolation would be the action of calculating data that are outside the calibration curve,  assuming the trend would continue.

Oxana [17]

Answer: frameshift mutation

Explanation: A frameshift mutation is a particular type of mutation that involves either insertion or deletion of extra bases of DNA. Now, what's important here is the number three. The number of bases that are either added or subtracted can't be divisible by three.

Margarita [4]

The hypohidrosis is a condition, in which the sweating ability is diminished in a person. This condition may cause severe threats, if complete absence of the sweating occurs. The complete absence of sweating is known as anhidrosis.

The hypohydrosis can lead to long lasting hyperthermia, as the body is not able to lose heat through sweating. It can also cause heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and in severe cases, it may result to death.

hence, the correct answer is hypohidrosis.
