Answer:

Purpose: A brief description of why the experiment is being performed. Include details about the experiment, such as the methods used, a specific chemical reaction(s), and/or anticipated product.

Hypothesis: Provide a statement or two about the anticipated outcome of the experiment.

Experimental Procedure: A step-by-step description of the experiment including the chemicals, equipment, and/or methods used. Complete sentences must be used for the description. DO NOT simply copy the procedure from a lab manual or a handout. Condense the given procedure into steps so that you can understand and follow them.

Laboratory Safety: Give a complete, descriptive listing of the safety precautions, hazards, or other safety procedures that are needed for this experiment.

Experimental Data: Record all data resulting from the experiment in your laboratory notebook. The experimental data should be recorded in tabular form. Do not record your experimental data in your laboratory manual.

Observations: This section is used to record any qualitative observations and notes on the changes to the experimental procedure. Sudden bursts of scientific insight or other information during the experiment that may aid in the interpretation of the data generated are to be entered in this section. No points will be awarded when the observations are recorded outside of the laboratory. It is also important that you record your unknown number in this section of your notebook.

Calculations: Present outcome/summary of data analysis using tables, Excel graphs, and/or figures. List separately all pertinent mathematical equations followed by a sample calculation for each. Use the recorded data from the experiment when performing the calculations.

Results/Discussion: Questions that should be addressed in this section may include: Did the experiment work, and if not, why not? Were the results obtained in the experiment those expected based on the laboratory procedure? If the experiment was to be repeated, what improvements would be made? What types of errors occurred and how could they be corrected? How did the observations play a role in the outcome of the experiment? When applicable, you should compare your experimental value(s) to that of a published, literature value(s), commenting on the accuracy of your technique.

Conclusion: Summarize the findings of the experiment, which must include the final results of the experiment, e.g., the percent yield of a reaction, the identity of an unknown, etc. Look back at the purpose and hypothesis of your experiment and assess whether or not you met your goal in performing the experiment.

References: Include all pertinent information such as, your laboratory manual, textbooks, web sites, and any other library resources used in the preparation of your laboratory report.

Because of genetic variation, a species of beetle has two different body colors, red and green. This species exists in a grassy
pshichka [43]

Answer:

1. Green beetles and red beetles exist in the environment.

2. Birds that eat the beetles move into the environment.

3. Red beetles are eaten by birds, but green beetles aren’t eaten.

4. Green beetles pass on their color trait to future offspring.

5. The entire population of beetles eventually becomes green in color.

Explanation:

According to the theory of natural selection, only those species survives which fits closely with their environment. According to the conditions given, there are two genetic variations of the same species based on the color, i.e. green and red. Initially, both red and green are living together in a grassland (green in color). Then, birds enter the same environment because they have food there (beetles). Now, green beetles will take a competitive advantage because of the color and avoid getting eaten by the birds. However, red beetles would be prominent and eaten fast. The green beetles will pass on their genetic variation causing the color to be green in their future offspring and a time will come when there will be on green beetles in the area.

mariarad [96]
The answer to this question would be: c. is no more effective than any other available treatment.

Hypnosis is one of the treatments that suggested by many people. But the effectivity is highly varied in a different person, so it doesn't work same for every person. Some people even can't be hypnotized. It is hard to be validated so it has a high chance for someone to do fraud without known.
Nowadays, there is not enough evidence to support hypnosis to be used as <span>smoking </span>cessation.
