Answer:
c.
The rows of bushes
Explanation:
<em>The experimental unit in this experiment would be the rows of bushes in the field.</em>
<u>By definition, experimental units are considered physical entities that can randomly be assigned to varied treatment regimes during the course of a research.</u>
In this case, the entity that are given different treatment condition during the process of experimentation are the rows of berry bushes within one of the several fields. Half of the rows were covered with nets while the remaining half were left uncovered.
<em>The rows were given different treatments and hence, considered the experimental units in this particular experiment.</em>
The correct option is c.
Answer:
The answers are:
1. initial composition of microbial community (controlled variable)
2. age of the mice (controlled variable)
3. change in body fat (dependent variable)
4. diet (independent variable)
5. weight gain (dependent variable)
6. final composition of the microbial community (controlled variable)
Explanation:
Before I go ahead to explain each of the choices of classification, let us define each of the different types of variable.
1. Independent variable: this is a variable that is under the control of the experimenter. It is made up of the factors that are being tested. In our example, the independent variables is; diet. The aim of the experiment is to study the effect of the type of diet on the mice. The diet can also be varied and assigned at will by the experiment.
2. Dependent variable: a dependent variable is one whose outcome is reliant on the effect of the changes in the independent variable. It is the factor to be measured. In our example, the factors that obey these definitions are; change in body fat and weight gain. these two factors depend on the types of diet taken by the mice, hence they are the factors to be measured.
3. Controlled variable: these are variables that are kept constant throughout the experiment to rule out biases, because they produce the same effect on the dependent variable as the independent variable and must be keep constant or uniform in the test groups. in our example, the factors that are controlled include; initial and final compositions of the microbial communities and the age of the mice, because the microbial composition if not uniform among the groups can cause biases in how the diets are processed, and the age of the mice also must be uniform to avoid age-related differences in the processing of the diets
Answer:
1.B. Yes, water is able to pass across the membrane through the aquaporins
2.A. Neither NaCl nor water can move across the cell membranes.
messenger RNA (mRNA) carries a transcript (copy) of the DNA's instructions out of the nucleus to the cytoplasm where it attaches to a ribosome.
transfer RNA (tRNA) begins to read (translate) the information on the attached mRNA and corresponding to this information, fetches the appropriate amino acids from the pool of free amino acids in the cytoplasm, and brings them to the ribosome where they are linked into a chain or polymer forming the primary structure of the desired protein.
