Answer:

D: All levels contain the same amount of energy

Explanation:

This is due to how the number of animals also increase as the energy pyramid level decreases.

Hope it helps!

In the following experiment, what is the independent variable? Dr. Honeydew would like to test the effect of chlorine on Beaker'

Contact [7]

Answer: Chlorine

Explanation:

An independent variable can be define as changable variable, which can be used to determine it's impact over the other variable(s) in the experiment. Dependent variable cannot be changed manually instead changes occur in the independent variable is because of impact of independent variable.

In this experiment, chlorine is the independent variable. The effect of which can be observed on the hair color, which is a dependent variable.

Incomplete question. The remaining part of the question read;

Words in the left column:

Yes
No
Observational
Manipulative

1. A physiologist incubates eggs in the lab at a range of temperatures to see what temperatures produce males and what temperatures produce females.

2. A biologist predicts that shade might influence ground temperature, and therefore turtle sex ratios. He records the sex ratio of turtle hatchlings in shaded and unshaded regions

3. An ecologist predicts turtles grow larger when no predators are around. She places turtles in an experimental pond system where half the ponds have predators and half the ponds have had the predators removed.

4. A climatologist predicts that concentration of CO2 in a city will be negatively correlated with the amount of wind in that city. He collects data and looks at the amount of CO2 in a city as a function of the wind speed in the city.

5. A sociologist conducts a survey in Hawaii to describe people's attitudes about global climate change.

6. A scientist determines the average wind speed, and variation in the amount of wind, in a number of locations to see which locations would be most suitable for wind turbines

Answer/Explanation:

1. Hypothesis-driven? Yes!

Observational or Manipulative? Observational.

We can make this conclusion here that the physiologists' research is hypothesis-driven since we are told he wanted to "see what temperatures produce males and what temperatures produce females." In other words, he wanted to know whether the temperature used in incubators can influence the sex of an egg by means of observation.

2. Hypothesis-driven? Yes!

Observational or Manipulative? Observation.

3. Hypothesis-driven? Yes!

Observational or Manipulative? Manipulative.

We can make the conclusion that is the ecologist used the manipulative method in her research since she decided to place the turtles in two different types of ponds; one where half the ponds have predators while in the other the pond the predators have been removed. In other words, she manipulated the independent variables.

4. Hypothesis-driven? Yes!

Observational or Manipulative? Observational.

Note, the use of the word, "predicts" in most instances underscores the tone of hypothesis-driven research, hence we can say Yes! And remember, we are told the researcher "collects data", meaning he is merely observing differences that occur naturally.

5. Hypothesis-driven? No!

Observational or Manipulative? Observational.

6. Hypothesis-driven? No!

Observational or Manipulative? Observational.

According to the pedigree chart, which statement MUST be true?

Crank

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because the original male is not affected by the disease. In the second generation they have a female child who is a carrier of the disease because she passes it down to her son, but she is not affected. Seeing how all males that carried the disease were affected at some point the disease must lay dormant in female carriers but not males. This means the original father cannot be a carrier of the disease. Hope this helps!

Compare skeletal and smooth muscle tissue in terms of structure and function.

Vitek1552 [10]

The answer would be, if I understand correctly, skeletal and smooth muscle tissue both help the body move, and give the body form. The skeletal structure give the body structure, and the muscles help the body move.
