Explanation:

Oxygen diffuses easily through air, and the soil stays aerobic because oxygen comes in from the surface. But after a rain, the soil pores and the worm burrows fill with water. The worms can't get enough oxygen when the soil is flooded, so they come to the surface to breathe.

Our elbow bends all the time, we bend it when we pick up things, when we eat, when we do mostly everything. Cows on the other hand dont pick up food with there feet, they use there mouths, and they probably only bend when they are walking.

The human brain generally gives thought higher priority than emotion. true or false

zavuch27 [327]

The response is false. Evolutively, thought is the last to develop, therefore, it is the most plausible element to be modified and, in this process of change, emotions will accompany.

Words in the left column:

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.

How does nutrient losses compare between the natural and clear-cut watersheds

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

A watershed is a region obtaining both land and water. This is a shallow land region which accumulates water from drainage obtain from different sources like lake, river and pond. A watershed may also develop in a forest ecosystem. The clear cutting of forest will result expose more amount of soil nutrients for erosion by water as compared to natural forest. Therefore, nutrient loss will be higher in clear- cut watershed than natural forest watershed.
