<span>The three essential principles of test construction are listed below:
I. Standardization
II. Reliability
III. Validity
</span>Standardization- To standardize a test means that test is given to a large, representative sample of people, in order to establish the norms that future test takers are compared against (using a normal distribution)
Reliability - This principle requires that a test must produce reliable, consistent results when it is repeated. The reliability of a test can be verified using the test-retest method or the split-half method.
Validity - This refers to the ability of a test to measure what it was designed to measure.
The right answers are complete gut and one-way gut.
Food is ingested by the mouth, where it is chewed and then thrown into the esophagus during swallowing.
After, there is food in the stomach
Then there is digestive absorption of nutrients in the small intestine
After that, Waste disposal and reabsorption of water in the colon (large intestine)
And finally, stool passes through the rectum (anus), where it is stored before defecation, induced by a reflex mechanism.
The independent variable of an experiment is the one that is intentionally changed or manipulated to see the results of changing said variable.
We are told that in each different group, the amount of caffeine that is given to the dogs changes - in the control group, they get no caffeine, in the 2nd group, they get 10 mg of caffeine each, and in the 3rd group, they get 50 mg of caffeine each.
Therefore, since the amount of caffeine that is given to the dogs is the only variable that is being manipulated, this is the independent variable.
Answer:
The correct option is D.
Explanation:
Protein generally are very sensitive macro molecules; they have specific temperatures and pH that are ideal for their operations, this is especially true for proteins that act as enzymes in biochemical reactions.
There are four different types of structures that a protein can assume, these are primary, secondary, tertiary and Quaternary structure. The structure of a protein determines the kind of function it can perform.
There are some factors that can destroy the structure and functions of proteins, these include excessive heat and pH. A protein is said to be denatured when its secondary and tertiary structure have been disrupted or destroyed. Denaturation does not affect the primary structure of the protein, thus, the peptide bond remains intact.
Denaturation is usually temporary and can be reversed if the factors that cause denaturation is removed, this process is called RENATURATION. Renaturation process allow the protein to refold and resume its functions. But sometimes, denaturation can be permanent and irreversible leading to permanent loss of protein functions.
