Answer:

In this situation both o the stars will pull the planet with equal gravitational force.

Explanation:

The reason behind this is that gravity works according to the mass an object has. Therefore if we have two corpses with the same amount of mass they are going to pull the objects with the same strength. Now, in our case, they have a planet between both of them. Thus, they are going to pull it to them with the same gravitational force because they have the same mass, and are at the same distance. If one of them had a bigger mass that would pull the planet with more gravitational force, as well as if that star was closer to the planet.

Incomplete question. The remaining part of the question read;

Words in the left column:

Yes
No
Observational
Manipulative

1. A physiologist incubates eggs in the lab at a range of temperatures to see what temperatures produce males and what temperatures produce females.

2. A biologist predicts that shade might influence ground temperature, and therefore turtle sex ratios. He records the sex ratio of turtle hatchlings in shaded and unshaded regions

3. An ecologist predicts turtles grow larger when no predators are around. She places turtles in an experimental pond system where half the ponds have predators and half the ponds have had the predators removed.

4. A climatologist predicts that concentration of CO2 in a city will be negatively correlated with the amount of wind in that city. He collects data and looks at the amount of CO2 in a city as a function of the wind speed in the city.

5. A sociologist conducts a survey in Hawaii to describe people's attitudes about global climate change.

6. A scientist determines the average wind speed, and variation in the amount of wind, in a number of locations to see which locations would be most suitable for wind turbines

Answer/Explanation:

1. Hypothesis-driven? Yes!

Observational or Manipulative? Observational.

We can make this conclusion here that the physiologists' research is hypothesis-driven since we are told he wanted to "see what temperatures produce males and what temperatures produce females." In other words, he wanted to know whether the temperature used in incubators can influence the sex of an egg by means of observation.

2. Hypothesis-driven? Yes!

Observational or Manipulative? Observation.

3. Hypothesis-driven? Yes!

Observational or Manipulative? Manipulative.

We can make the conclusion that is the ecologist used the manipulative method in her research since she decided to place the turtles in two different types of ponds; one where half the ponds have predators while in the other the pond the predators have been removed. In other words, she manipulated the independent variables.

4. Hypothesis-driven? Yes!

Observational or Manipulative? Observational.

Note, the use of the word, "predicts" in most instances underscores the tone of hypothesis-driven research, hence we can say Yes! And remember, we are told the researcher "collects data", meaning he is merely observing differences that occur naturally.

5. Hypothesis-driven? No!

Observational or Manipulative? Observational.

6. Hypothesis-driven? No!

Observational or Manipulative? Observational.

Besides respiration, what other ways is carbon released into the atmosphere?

Veronika [31]

Carbon cycle, one of the most important elements that make up the structure of living things in an ecosystem carbon. Carbon is found in the structure of all organic compounds in living things.
Earth is important warehouses;
Atmospheric CO2In the waters of CO2 and HCO3-Land, usually coal, is the structure of the oil and limestone.Photosynthesis by plants using airborne CO2 and O2 is converted to organic compounds. By participating in CO2 carbon all live in the structure of the building is used as a raw organic food energy and structure. In respiratory events again returned to the atmosphere as CO2. If a portion of the carbon is deposited on the ground layer mineral or dead plants and animals through the soil into the organic waste. Here are separated by saprophytes live or coal goes back into the atmosphere through the use of fossil fuels such as oil. However, excessive use of fossil fuels in the atmosphere the CO2 greenhouse effect climate change will bring about in the world, raises a few degrees increase and the consequent danger of melting glaciers at the poles of the temperature.

Why is photosynthesis considered a bridge between the nonliving and living worlds?

Ivahew [28]

It converts light energy which is abiotic, to glucose, which is consumed by organisms for energy. (It transfers to the appropriate type of energy for biotic organisms)

The diagram shows the general structure of a lipid l, which consists of two main parts.

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The correct answer is - carboxyl group.

Explanation:

Lipids are one of the major macromolecules that are made up of fatty acid and carboxyl groups as two main parts of the molecules. The most common type of lipid is formed with the glycerol associated with the fatty acid chain.

In the provided structure the circled part is the carboxyl group with the long fatty acid chain. However, glycerol belongs to the alcohol group.

Thus, the correct answer is - carboxyl group.
