Onion root tips are often used to study mitosis because they grow very rapidly, which means that many cells are dividing. The ve
ry tip of the onion root ends in a structure called the root cap. The other end of the root attaches to the onion. A scientist is interested in determining whether an onion root tip grows from the base of the root or from the tip near the root cap. She counts the number of cells that are in one of the phases of mitosis at different distances from the root cap. What is the dependent variable in her experiment
- Dependent variable: number of cells that are in one of the phases of mitosis
Explanation:
In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that is not changed by the other variables that are being measured during the experiment (in this case, the independent variable is represented by the distances from the root cap). On the other hand, the dependent variable is the variable that is being measured/tested during the experimental procedure and, therefore, is 'dependent' on the independent variable. In consequence, in an experiment, the dependent variable is expected to change as a result of the manipulation of the independent variable.
C) A phosphate is removed by hydrolysis from an ATP molecule.
* ATP contains Adenine, Ribose sugar, and triphosphate group that contains 3 phosphates. When the third phosphate is broken, it is converted to ADP + P releasing a lot of energy.
The earth rotates from West to East or if you want another way of saying it, counter-clockwise. It rotates from West to the East because the earth's Western Hemisphere (West) rotates to the Eastern Hemisphere, (East).
