Answer:

This question is incomplete, the options are:

A) Decreased temperature

B) Strong southerly winds

C) Presence of a predator

D) Lack of water

The answer is C

Explanation:

A stimulus is something that provokes a response or reaction in a living organism. It can either be internal or external. An animal can respond to stimulus such as hunger, heat, predator etc.

However, among all the listed stimuli in the options, the PRESENCE OF A PREDATOR is most likely to result in a more rapid heartbeat in an animal. This is because the predator stimulus will require the animal to respond by running in order to survive. Running will increase its metabolic activity and cause its heartbeat to increase.

An investigation was done to see if keeping the lights on for different amounts of time each day affected the number of eggs chi

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the complete part is asking to identify the variables of the experimental statement i.e. dependent and the independent variables.

Independent variable: different amounts of time light is on

Dependent variable: Number of eggs laid by chicken

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, variables, which are factors that can be altered, are used. These variables are independent and dependent variables.

An independent variable is that variable that is subject to manipulation or control by the experimenter in order to bring about a change in the dependent variable. For this experiment, the independent variable is the DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF TIME LIGHT IS ON.

On the other hand, a variable is said to be dependent if it is the measurable or responding variable. The response of the dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable. In this experiment, the dependent variable is the NUMBER OF EGGS LAID BY CHICKENS. The number of eggs laid (dependent variable) is dependent on the amount of time light is on (independent variable).
