A scientist discovered a new antibiotic and wanted to know if it would be effective against group A Streptococcus bacteria. He d
esigned a test experiment in a lab with ten different cultures of the bacteria. He introduced the antibiotic into five of the cultures, leaving the other five to grow without it. He recorded observations every three hours for a week. What is the independent variable in this experiment?
A.
the total number of bacteria cultures
B.
the presence of the new antibiotic
C.
the reaction of the bacteria to the antibiotic
D.
the presence of the Streptococcus bacteria
An experiment is a process where the a scientist tests and draws their evidence and data from. Hence, this process is where the hypothesis be supported or negated.
Variables are traits, factors, or characteristics that either manipulated or measured being the subject to become the data. The independent variable is B. <span>the presence of the new antibiotic</span>
False crossing over occurs in prophase 1 of meiosis 1. The significance of this crossing over is to ensure cell differentiation. If this occurred in prophase two it means the cells in meiosis 1 will be identical.
Humans, animals and plants depend on the cycle of cellular respiration and photosynthesis for survival. ... The process of photosynthesis is used by plants and other photosynthetic organisms to produce energy, whereas the process of cellular respiration breaks down the energy for use.
