The fossil record provides evidence of Earth’s changes over time. It's a record keeper of the Earth'd changes over time.
Habitat loss is contributing to the permanent loss of species, the weakening of ecosystems, and is impacting the overall health of the planet.
Example:
While tree-clearing is a significant cause of habitat loss in Australia, other major contributing factors include altered bushfire frequency and the introduction of pest species that make habitats unsafe for native species or outcompete them. Meanwhile, on the Great Barrier Reef, the impacts of human-induced climate change are altering the habitats of corals, leading to large-scale coral bleaching. Over time, destruction of such habitats leads to reduced biodiversity and weakening of the Earth’s ecosystem.
Answer:
1) d. observe phenomenon; generate hypothesis, conduct experiment, accept, reject, or modify hypothesis.
C. A study that compares a aroup of people with diabetes to a similar aroup of people without diabetes is an example of a case-control study.
Explanation:
Scientific method is a step by step procedure ranging from observing a problem to actual experimentation that aims at investigating a problem. The steps involved in the scientific method are as follows:
a)observe phenomenon; This precedes every experiment in the scientific method.
b) generate hypothesis: This is a testable explanation given as a possible solution to the observed problem.
c) conduct experiment: The hypothesis is tested via experimentation.
d) accept, reject, or modify hypothesis: Based on the result of the experiment, the hypothesis can be rejected, accepted or even modified.
Question 2:
Case control study is a type of study design that uses or compares a group of affected individuals (by a disease) called CASES and unaffected individuals called CONTROL. In this case, A study that compares a group of people with diabetes (cases) to a similar aroup of people without diabetes (control) is an example of a case-control study.
