Answer:
The requirements in the question are not clear enough, fortunately, I found a matching complete question:
Homer notices that his shower is covered in a strange green slime. His friend Barney tells him that coconut juice will get rid of the green slime. Homer decides to check this out by spraying half of the shower with coconut juice. He sprays the other half of the shower with water. After 3 days of "treatment", there is no change in the appearance of the green slime on either side of the shower.
1. What was the initial observation?
Identify the-
2 Control Group
3 Independent variable
4 Dependent variable
5. what should Homer's conclusion be?
Answer:
1) initial observation: growth of a strange green slime in the shower
2) Control Group: Half of the shower that was sprayed with water
3) Independent variable: volume of coconut juice sprayed
4) Dependent variable: disappearance of the green slime
5) spraying coconut juice is not effective when trying to get rid of slime in the shower after 3 days
Explanation:
The question wants to test your ability to interpret an experiment and identify the various components in an experimental design. Hence, I will explain the major concepts found in en experimental design:
- Initial observation: These are the factors that precede the initiation of an experiment, and it is what the experiment seeks to change or support. In this case, the observation of slime in Homer's bathroom initiated the experiment.
- Control Group: The control group in an experiment is the group that does not receive treatment or intervention by the researcher, and serves as a benchmark for measuring the change occurring in the treatment group. In this example, the half of the bathroom sprayed with water, did not receive any intervention which is spraying with coconut juice.
- Independent variable: These are the variables that are completely under the control of the researcher and can be varied at will. The volume of coconut juice sprayed is completely under Homer's cntrol.
- Dependent variable: The dependent variable is the variable that changes or is expected to change as a result of the changing of the indepenedent variable. The outcome is outside the control of the researcher. Here, the disappearance of the slime is the dependent variable, because it depends on the spraying of coconut juice
- Conclusion: The conclusion is a statement made as a result of the observed results of the experiment. In this case, there was no change on the slime in the bathroom after three days of spraying with coconut juice
Answer:
Fungal insecticides are an attractive alternative to chemical pesticides for growing food crops because fungal insecticides can eliminate both harmful insects and plant pathogen while chemical pesticides can only kill insects.
Explanation:
As it gets harder to get approval for novel synthetics and existing synthetic pesticides are pulled from shelves, biopesticides become more attractive.And then there's the rise of weeds and microbes resistant to traditional pesticides. Many commonly used chemical pesticides are facing pressure today due to overuse, improper use, and long-term use.Some biopesticides repel pests, while others disrupt mating or cause a specific disease to strike invaders that would nibble on delicate fruits and vegetables.That's especially true when compared with synthetic pesticides, which often contain toxic chemicals such as arsenic, chlorine, ammonia and formaldehyde. Some synthetic pesticides have been shown to have harmful effects on the environment and human health. One family of pesticides, called neonicotinoids, is being blamed for the decline in bee populations over the last decade. Trichoderma, a versatile mold, is also commonly used. Some release enzymes that dissolve potential pathogens; others form barriers around plant roots and make it impossible for harmful bacteria and pathogens to pass through.
Another fungus — Metarhizium, or the green muscardine fungus — is frequently used in the field, shielding crops from beetle grubs, wireworm, corn root worms and countless other insects. One variant is now being used to develop biopesticides — including a line by MycoPesticide — that can cause a mushroom to grow from a pest's dead body to distribute spores that warn other insects.

Answer:
The answer is GLUCOSE.
Explanation:
Glucose is the main sugar used by cells for energy. Glucose is derived from the digestion of carbohydrates. In humans, glucose is usually absorbed into the blood from the small intestine, the blood then carry the blood around the body, allowing each cell to have access to the glucose it needs.
If the quantity of glucose in the blood is more than needed per time, the body usually store the excess glucose as glycogen, the glycogen will be turned to glucose and release for cell use when the quantity of sugar in the blood is low. In the absence of glycogen, other macro nutrients such as lipids and proteins can also be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis when the concentration of glucose in the blood is low.
The cells oxidize the glucose and convert it to energy in form of ATP, which they use to carry out their life activities.
