The researchers set up experimental and control microcosms, or small artificial ecosystems, to measure the release of minerals f
rom rocks. First, they placed rock fragments of volcanic origin, either granite or andesite, into small glass containers. Then they made a suspension of water and macerated (chopped and crushed) moss of the species Physcomitrella patens. They added this mixture of water and moss to the experimental microcosms. For the control microcosms, they filtered out the moss and just added the water. After 130 days, they measured the amounts of various minerals found in the water in the control microcosms and in the water and moss in the experimental microcosms. How did the setup of the control and experimental microcosms differ
The correct answer is - Control microcosms did not contain living moss, while experimental microcosms did contain living moss.
Explanation:
The difference between the control microcosms and experiment Microcosms is, the presence of the living moss in the experimental group whereas the control group does not contain living moss.
The independent variable in this research setting is the presence or absence of the living moss and for the control group, the mosses are filtered out and only added the water.
The population will be less as some will die or there are chances of equal also if no one died... Most chances are of 1st one. But it also must be the same or less. Depending on if population growth means just how much it got bigger of if it can be negative (like -8% means it got smaller by 8% and being considered "growth").
Dr. Landry is recording voltage fluctuations which are the result of ionic current within the neurons of the brain . Electroencephalography is non-invasive monitoring method to record spontaneous electrical activity of the brain over a period of time.It is used to diagnose epilepsy, sleep disorders, encephalopathies, brain death.
