Why is the scientific method so important in science

Biology
2 answers:
Degger [83]2 years ago
8 0

The scientific method attempts to minimize the influence of <u>bias</u> or prejudice in the experimenter.

<u>Bias</u> is a disproportionate weight in favor of or against an idea or thing, usually in a way that is closed-minded, prejudicial, or unfair. In science a bias is a systematic error.

How would your body be affected if your pituitary gland was not working properly?
sweet [91]

 The pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is an <span>endocrine gland that consists of anterior pituitary (or adenohypophysis) and posterior pituitary (or neurohypophysis). Adenohypophysis regulates several physiological processes (including stress, growth, reproduction, and lactation) by secreting hormones. The neurohypophysis functionally connects the gland to the </span>hypothalamus. The intermediate lobe (between adeno and neurohypophysis) synthesizes and secretes melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Because it controls a lot of functions inside the organism it can affect many things when it is not working properly (over- or under-production of pituitary hormones). It can cause diabetes insipidus by a deficiency of vasopressin, it can cause thyroid disorders, gigantism (too much growth hormone)…

Explain how the ozone layer forms, how human activities have damaged it, and the consequences of the destruction of the ozone la
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Ozone is formed in the stratosphere naturally.

High energy solar radiation strike the oxygen atoms O2, the two atoms split apart. The freed atom collides with another oxygen atom O2 forming O3 (Ozone)

Ozone layer is destroyed when chloroflourocarbons and halons.

CFCs and halons cause chemical reactions that break down ozone molecules. Consequences ofnozone depletion are that UV radiations are not filtered and they reach the earth causing damage to eyes and skin.

Explanation:

Ozone layer is a protective layer which protects from UV damaging radiations. It is formed when oxygen atoms are broken down by photolysis and a freed oxygen atom combines with another amd form O3.

Ozone is being depleted now because chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons—gases found in aerosol spray cans and refrigerants—are released into the atmosphere they decrease the ozone's ultraviolet radiation-absorbing capacity.Ozone layer depletion causes increased UV radiation levels at the Earth's surface, which is damaging to human health. Negative effects include skin cancers, eye cataracts and immune deficiency disorders.
