Answer:

Independent variable: Salinity/Salt concentration

Dependent variable: hatching rate

Explanation:

As rightly stated in this question, INDEPENDENT VARIABLE, in an experiment, is the variable that the experimenter changes or manipulates in order to bring about a measurable response while the DEPENDENT VARIABLE is the variable that the experimenter measures in an experiment. Dependent variable as the name implies is dependent on the independent variable.

In this question where an hypothesis was given as follows: "Hatching brine shrimp is related to salinity (how salty the water is), then the greater the salt concentration, the higher the hatching rate". The hypothesis relates the independent and dependent variables i.e. it tells us how the independent variable affects the dependent variable.

Hence, according to the hypothesis, it is telling us how a change in SALINITY OR SALT CONCENTRATION will affect HATCHING RATE. Therefore;

Independent variable: SALINITY/SALT CONCENTRATION

Dependent variable: HATCHING RATE

What kind of plants are likely to be pioneers species?

vova2212 [387]

Because pioneer species are the first to return after a disturbance, they are the first stage of succession, and their presence increases the diversity in a region. They are usually a hardy plant, algae or moss that can withstand a hostile environment.

The expected result of this poison on secondary active transport is that the poison will prevents the conformational changes which are necessary for the pump to perform its function, thus preventing it from been able to carry out transportation of ions in and out of the cell.

Answer:

A proton gradient is generated by the transport of protons into the thylakoid lumen.

Protons move from the thylakoid lumen to the stroma through ATP synthase, producing ATP.

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, the environment is made acidic inside the lumen i.e. H⁺ are pumped into thylakoid lumen from stroma as a result of which more H⁺ are present in the thylakoid lumen as compared to stroma. It happens during light dependent reaction of photosynthesis. The concentration of H⁺ is already higher in lumen and transfer of more and more H⁺ from stroma increases the concentration of H⁺ even more leading to generation of a potential gradient. These H⁺ subsequently tend to move freely from lumen to stroma via "reverse pumps known as ATP synthase". The reason why these are known as reverse pumps is because pumps usually move particles from lower to higher concentration which is an active movement i.e. not natural so such movement requires energy. Naturally particles move from higher to lower concentration gradient until the concentration becomes equal on both the sides but pumps act opposite of this natural process and move particles from lower to higher concentration and utilize energy to do it. But here H⁺ are moving from higher to lower concentration which occurs naturally so ATP synthase rather than using energy tend to generate energy and this free energy is used to generate ATP from ADP & Pi (inorganic phosphate).
