You are a veterinarian working for the San Diego Zoo. Today, you are performing an autopsy on a 22.7-gram frog and a 21.2-gram l

izard, both of which appear to have died of a respiratory infection. Why are you not surprised to find that the lungs of the lizard have a larger internal surface area than those of the frog?

Answer: Because of the texture of their skin. Lizards have dry scaly skin, whereas the frogs have thin, moist skin.

Answer:

You are not surprised, because as a veterinarian you know that the lung of lizards must be more developed than that of frogs, because reptiles depend exclusively on lung breathing.

Explanation:

Caterpillars are reptiles, while frogs are amphibians. This information alone allows us to conclude because the internal surface of the lizard's lung is larger than the internal surface of the frog's lung.

This is because, as we know, reptiles depend exclusively on lung breathing, excluding the need for breathing through the skin (as is done by amphibians). This makes the lungs of the reptiles much more developed, presenting larger and more complex structures with a large number of internal surfaces and alveoli.

Amphibians, on the other hand, perform breathing through the skin, helping the lungs, which need not be as developed and complex.

Hello!

An initial observation is the first thing a scientist notices about a topic before conducting the experiment. We can see that it is the first thing in the paragraph in this case, that dandelions grow as unwanted weeds in many lawns.

The hypothesis is the guess about the result of an experiment made before the experiment is conducted. In this case, it is that a weed killer (Killimal) would kill all the dandelions while leaving the grass healthy. This is not specifically a guess made by the scientist, but more like a prediction he wanted to verify.

An independent variable is the variable being changed in the experiment by the scientist. Here, it is whether Killimal was sprayed or not.

The dependent variable is the variable being measured, and the one being affected by the independent variable. His observation would be whether the grass and dandelions would be killed. This is because the weed killer would be directly affecting whether or not these would be killed.

The control variables are ones which are kept the same in the experiment as to not interfere with the final results. In this case, it would be the density of dandelions, the amount of sunlight, and the amount the plants were watered. These were kept exactly the same, as they could've affected the dependent variable if changed.

The control group was the one that is not impacted by the independent variable. The control group makes sure that it actually is the independent variable affecting the dependent, and it isn't some outside unknown variable. This would be the plot without the Killimal.

The experimental group is the one being experimented on from the independent variable. This would be the plot with the Killimal.

Hope this helps!
