Raya is a gardening enthusiast who is looking to buy a new house. She wonders whether her house plants will grow well if she buy

s an apartment on a higher floor. She remembers that her friend Jenn also has a small garden on her balcony, and her plants seem healthy. Raya conducts an experiment to study the effect of altitude on the growth of plants. She gathers plant samples and places them on five different floors of a 20-story building. Identify the basic components of Raya’s experiment, including the confounding variable.

Answer:

1. Independent variable- the altitude

2. Dependent variable- the growth of plants

3. Constant variable- the amount of water and nutrients

4. Confounding variable: the storeys of the building.

Explanation:

The basic components of a scientific experiment are the types of variables included in the experiment which are dependent (to be studied), independent (can be changed)  and the constant variables (remain same).

The experiment is also influenced by another variable called confounding variable which directly influence these basic variables and can cause or produce the useless results in an experiment.

In the given question,

1. Independent variable- the altitude  

2. Dependent variable- the growth of plants

3. Constant variable- the amount of water and nutrients  

4. Confounding variable: the storeys of the building.

The basic components (depedent and indepedent variables) are the plants and altitude while the confounding variable is the 20 story building. Confounding variables affect the experiement variable and are mainly outside of the researcher’s control in the experiment.  Ray cannot change the building but this variable can affect the depedent and indepedent variables and cause distorted or spurious results.

Answer:

The leaf discs only float in bicarbonate solution and in the light environment.

Explanation:

The bicarbonate dissolves in water to produce a source of inorganic CO2 in the reaction:

NaHCO3 + H2O → H2CO3 + OH- + Na+

Then, the HCO3- undergoes fixation through several complex steps in order to form a carbohydrate or sugar. These store the converted solar energy in their bonds as chemical energy to be used in metabolism.

Photosynthesis is a chemical process, essential to plant and other primary producers producing energy. Energy in the form of glucose molecules is derived from solar or light energy, water, and inorganic carbon dioxide, while it releases oxygen (from the light reaction). The leaf discs float as O2 gas is produced, making them buoyant.

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Carbon dioxide + water + energy= glucose + oxygen

Which type of cell adhesion is useful for anchoring cells together and defending against shear forces on tissues
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Desmosomes

Explanation:

Desmosomes are cellular structures that adhere to neighboring cells. Its function is to hold the epithelial cells together, associating the intermediate filament cytoskeletons of neighboring cells, thus forming a transcellular network with high resistance to mechanical traction. It thus allows the cells to maintain their shape and the epithelial sheet to exist in a stable form. Inside cells act as anchoring sites for intermediate rope-shaped filaments, which form a structural network in the cytoplasm providing a certain rigidity. Through these junctions the intermediate filaments of the adjacent cells are indirectly connected forming a continuous network that extends throughout the tissue.
