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.

Bacteria and fungi are found in all ecosystems on earth answer

Ivanshal [37]

The answer is; true

These microbes are usually adapted to their environment and this is why they are found in virtually all ecosystems. You will find bacteria even at the bottom of deep ocean beds deep and in geothermal vents, hypersaline water and very cold regions (such as polar regions). Fungi which vary widely in size from microscopically small to the largest organisms such as mushrooms are also found in virtually all environments on earth. They are nonetheless different species of these groups adapted to their environments.

which of the following events is most likely to result in conditions suitable for primary succession?

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

An earthquake , a forest fire , a hurricane and a volcanic eruption.

Explanation:

An earthquake , a forest fire , a hurricane and a volcanic eruption are the events that is responsible for the suitable conditions for primary succession because all the population of animals and vegetation are removed from an area and the new type of organisms is start to living in that new environment. These new organism has the ability to survive that environmental conditions. These events completely removed the population in the environment and provides conditions for primary succession.
