Design your own scenario related to Bacteria or Viruses. Identify the independent and dependent variables.

Biology

Answer:

An experiment where an antibiotic is tested against bacteria. The antibiotic can vary in its concentration for example, different amounts are applied to a sample of bacteria to see if it is affected by the action of the antibiotic and if so, in what concentration. So, the independent variable is the concentration of antibiotic while the dependent variable is the survival (or not) of the bacteria.

Explanation:

An independent variable is a variable that represents a quantity that the scientist modifies in an experiment. A dependent variable represents a quantity whose value depends on how the independent variable is modified. This is the variable being studied and measured.

So, an example of this applied to bacteria or viruses could be:

<u>An experiment where an antibiotic is tested against bacteria</u>. The antibiotic can vary in its concentration, different amounts are applied to a sample of bacteria to see if it is affected by the action of the antibiotic and if so, in what concentration. So, the independent variable is the concentration of antibiotic while the dependent variable is the survival (or not) of the bacteria.

To complete the experiment, an antibiotic whose effect is already known can be used as a positive control. That is, it is already known to kill the bacteria. And as a negative control you can simply use water, which has no effect and is known not to kill the bacteria. In this way, we validate the results and make sure that there is not something else that is affecting the bacteria and that only the antibiotic being studied has an influence.

Select the reasons why the term 'prokaryote' can be problematic.
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

__ It implies that prokaryotes existed before eukaryotes, and

__ It implies that eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes.

Explanation:

The prefix pro- can mean "before". By using the term prokaryote one can tend to think that procaryotes preceded eukaryotes.

Match the givin changes in the ecosystem to their causes
poizon [28]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

1. Greenhouse gases: Earth's heat is kept from going away.

Greenhouse gases, particularly CO2 and methane, have properties that allow them to trap heat in the atmosphere. This means that the more of these gases there are in the air, it will be hotter on Earth.

2. Chemicals released into the river—unfit for human consumption.

The chemicals released into rivers pollute the water, making it unfit for human consumption. There are only a few places in the world where there is enough freshwater to go around, so the fact that so many rivers have been poisoned is very worrying.

3. Excessive agricultural land use—forest fragmentation.

People cut down the trees so that there is more land that can be used for farming, As a result of this process, forests are being destroyed to the point of total devastation, and it is likely that this percentage will rise in the coming years as things continue.
