Answer:
D. As the ball moves down the stairs, the potential energy decreases because the height decreases and is transformed to kinetic energy
Explanation:
A.
The independent variable (experimental variable) is the exposure to UV lights of the tadpoles because it is being varied. The dependent variable is the survival of the tadpoles, because it is the one being affected by the independent variable.
B.
The information from the experiment does not support the hypothesis because an equal number of tadpoles remain, while the hypothesis predicted that less would remain in the tank exposed to UV light.
C.
Other factors such as temperature of the water may be affecting the frog populations.
D.
The control group was the tank covered with glass and the experimental group was the tank covered with acrylic plexiglass
E.
The difference was that one group was exposed to the UV light, while the other group was not. No, they should not be different in any other way, because that may lead to inconclusive experimental results.
Answer:
The defective Na+/K+ ATPase is not able to dephosphorylate itself.
Explanation:
Na+/K+ ATPase pump cycles between two different forms: the phosphorylated form of the Na+/K+ ATPase has a high affinity for K+ ions and low affinity for Na+ ions. The release of phosphate from ATP and phosphorylation of Na+/K+ ATPase makes the pump to release the bound 3 Na+ ions outside the cell and to bind to the 2 K+ ions from the surroundings. As the Na+/K+ ATPase is dephosphorylated, its affinity for K+ ions is reduced leading to the release of K+ inside the cell.
A defective Na+/K+ ATPase that is able to pick and bind the K+ ions but is not able to shuttle them across the membrane should be defective to achieve its dephosphorylated form. Without releasing phosphate, the affinity of the pump for K+ ions is not reduced and the pump would not be able to release them to the opposite side of the membrane.
This field of study is called ECOLOGY. Ecology is not only the name of field of study, this term also describes interaction between organisms and their environment. (You may also use term BIONOMICS to describe this relationship.)
