One experiment that we could use to test the way in which fruit fly populations grow is to enclose a set amount inside a container with a food source and measure the population growth daily, then repeat this many times.

In order to test the way in which the fly population grows, we need an experiment that will allow us to gather data at set intervals. To do this we can create an experiment in which we set up multiple enclosures, each with a set amount of flies and one banana. Then measure the population on a <u>day-to-day</u> interval.

By performing the experiment with multiple enclosures, we can not only confirm that the results are accurate by having tested it many times, but we can also take the opportunity to test the effects of the food supply on population growth by adding more bananas and seeing if the population will increase at a different rate than the other enclosures.

Once a set number of days have passed, and we have the data corresponding to the population size each day, we can proceed to graph the data. Once graphed, we can analyze the data shown in order to observe whether the population is growing logistically or exponentially.

Most nonrenewable energy resources are burned for us to use their energy. Which of the following is a nonrenewable energy source
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The correct answer is - A) nuclear.

Explanation:

Most of the non-renewable sources of energy are fossil fuels that are formed by the thermal decomposition of dead organic matter for million years and are converted to lighter hydrocarbons that contain high electrostatic potential energy.

Burning is the process that breaks the hydrocarbons into water vapor and CO2 with high amount of energy. Coal, natural gas and biofuels all three are fossil fuels and nuclear products are not fossil fuel but radioactive elements.

You can't really expect to find water stored as a gas, as it cools to a liquid at room temperature. You could easily find evaporated water on a stovetop by boiling water, though.
