In other cases, researchers use natural experiments in which the dependent variable (typically a measure of organism health) is

measured under differing contexts that are not manipulated. Say, for example, that an accidental chemical spill contaminates five ponds. To determine the possible effects of the toxic chemical on frogs, a researcher could compare the hatching rate of frog eggs laid in those five ponds to the hatching rate of eggs laid in five uncontaminated ponds nearby. This would be an example of a natural experiment because concentrations of the toxic chemical in the ponds were not controlled by the experimenter, but rather resulted from the chemical spill.
Drag type of experiment on the left to the example of experiment on the right.
A. Natural
B. Manipulative
1. ______: Blood concentrations of BPA in college students are compared to their recent consumption of canned food items
2. _____: The feeding behavior of fish in streams that receive acidic runoff from strip mines is compared to the feeding behavior of fish in unaffected streams.
3. _____: The deformity rate in baby birds from nests in pesticide-sprayed fields is compared to the deformity rate in birds from nests in unsprayed fields.
4 ______: Tumor development is compared in mice exposed to five dosages of a known carcinogen in the laboratory.
5. ______: Foraging activity levels are compared in tadpoles exposed to four concentrations of toxic metals in the laboratory.
6. ______: Growth of corn plants is compared in field plots sprayed with three different dosage:s of weed killer 7.
7. ______: BPA concentrations in the urine of people with diabetes are compared to BPA concentrations in the urine of people without diabetes

Answer:

1. Natural

2. Natural

3. Manipulative

4. Manipulative

5. Manipulative

6. Manipulative

7. Natural

Explanation:

1. Checking the blood concentration of BPA in college students in relation to their recent consumption of canned food items is a natural experiment because BPA concentration in blood is not artificially controlled by any means.

2. Comparing the feeding behavior of fish in streams with acidic runoff to that of fish in an unaffected stream is a natural experiment due to the fact that the acidity of the stream is not artificially controlled in any way by the experimenter.

3. Checking the deformity rate in baby birds from nests in pesticide-sprayed fields and that from unsprayed fields would require some manipulations except a sprayed and unsprayed one already existed long before the experiment was given birth to. Otherwise, the sprayed field might need to be artificially created just for the purpose of the experiment.

4. A known carcinogen would need to be administered to a group of the mice. This is manipulative.

5. The tadpoles would need to be artificially exposed to the toxic metals in the laboratory. Manipulative

6. The spraying would need to be carried out artificially in order for the comparison to be made. Manipulative

7. People with diabetes cannot be artificially created. They must have existed naturally long before the experimental design. Natural

List four ways in which members of the same species can cooperate with each other.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Cooperation is common in non-human animals. Besides cooperation with an immediate benefit for both actors, this behavior appears to occur mostly between relatives.[1] Spending time and resources assisting a related individual may at first seem destructive to the organism’s chances of survival but is actually beneficial over the long-term. Since relatives share part of their genetic make-up, enhancing each other’s chances of survival may actually increase the likelihood that the helper’s genetic traits will be passed on to future generations.[6] The cooperative pulling paradigm is an experimental design used to assess if and under which conditions animals cooperate. It involves two or more animals pulling rewards towards themselves via an apparatus they can not successfully operate alone.[7]

1) What surface characteristics affect the rate of heating and cooling?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The color of the surfaces because an object with a black surface will absorb and reradiate energy faster and at a higher concentration than the same object with a lighter colored surface.

where they execute important functions. The polypeptide chain of these proteins must cross the lipid bilayer. This presents a pr
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

In this case, it is likely that the polypeptide chain assumed an alpha helix configuration because the lipid bilayer did not have beta-barrel proteins.

Explanation:

A polypeptide chain is naturally polar, however, a lipid bilayer is naturally non-polar. This makes it difficult and even prevents the polypeptide chain from crossing a lipid bilayer, since the composition of these two elements does not allow them to mix. In that case, the polypeptide chain has two options to take to successfully cross the lipid bilayer.

The first option that the polypeptide chain has is to allow the creation of twisted beta sheets in the shape of a closed barrel in its structure. This only works if the lipid bilayer has beta barrel proteins in its composition to act as a transport channel for the polypeptide chain. However, few lipid layers have this protein.

Most likely, the polypeptide chain assumes an alpha helix conformation to cross lipid bilayers that do not have beta-barrel proteins. By assuming the beta conformation, the polypeptide chain reinforces the hydrogen bonds present in its composition, allowing it to cross the lipid bilayer without having its conformation and structure disassembled.
