Bacteria in general grow optimally when the pH is around 7 (5-9 let's say). That is not to say that there are not bacteria that grow in extremely acidic conditions, like in our stomach, or others in extremely basic conditions, like the conditions near volcanoes. Nonetheless, bacteria that grow in food prefer acidic environments over basic ones and usually cannot tolerate the acidity of fruits which is around 4 pH for the most acid ones. For example, stuff like milk and bread that have a pH from 5-6 are prime examples of food where bacteria would thrive. Thus, the correct answer would be b.
What would most likely reduce the bias present in Elias' experimental design would be to not ask just the members of his high school team to be the subjects because they represent a very specific group of people. It would be much better to use a random group of people and have them do the same thing.
Microhabitats are a small scaled environment with all biotic and abiotic factors needed to support its limited variety of organisms in an area.
Answer:
Increase EDV and therefore, increase stroke volume.
Explanation:
EDV is the volume of blood which filled the ventricle before its contraction while ESV is the volume of blood remain in ventricle after ejection.
When venous return increases, this will increase the pressure on ventricle contraction which can lead to eject of addition blood returned to it.
So, increase in EDV results in an increase of stroke volume (SV).
