A student reads in a newspaper that the soil in his area contains high levels of arsenic. Based on this information, he believes

that his fellow high school classmates have this metal present in their bodies. To test his hypothesis, he conducts an investigation of the soil in his schoolyard to see if it is contaminated with arsenic. He tests seven different areas around the school and finds high levels of arsenic in each. He concludes that the students at the school must have high levels of arsenic in their systems as well. Which of these is the best evaluation of his conclusion?
A. His conclusion is valid because he tested enough areas of soil to validate his hypothesis.
B. His conclusion is flawed because he did not test the soil at the homes where the students lived.
C. His conclusion is valid because arsenic is a toxic metal and is easily absorbed by the human body.
D. His conclusion is flawed because he did not test the students to see if their bodies contained metal arsenic.

Answer: D. His conclusion is flawed because he did not test the students to see if their bodies contained metal arsenic.

Explanation:

According to the given situation, student has tested seven different areas around the school to determine the presence of arsenic in the soil and also found the presence of arsenic in the school system. But has not studied the presence of arsenic in the students to support the fact that the school students are also affected by arsenic. So, conclusions based on the presence of arsenic in the soil and the system is inconclusive for the present study.

1. Which of the following correctly compares the changes that take place in an ecosystem during primary succession and secondary
mr Goodwill [35]
The correct answers are as follows:
1. A.
There are basically two types of succession, they are primary and secondary succession. Primary succession refers to the type of succession that occurs in new and bare areas where the soil present is unable  to sustain the growth of plants. An example of primary succession area is an area with sand dunes that is freshly formed. Primary succession usually occur over a long period of time. Secondary succession is a type of succession that occur on a land which was disturbed by  hazardous events such as fire outbreak, flood, etc. Secondary succession occurs much faster than the primary succession.

2. D
There are two types of factors that affect any particular ecosystem, these are abiotic and biotic factors. The abiotic factors refers to non living factors such as temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, etc. while the biotic factors refer to the living factors. Looking at the options given above, one will see that only option D has living factor, which is predators. All other options have abiotic factors.
