So, the fact that it's a specific instrument doesn't change why you need to correct the data.
However, for this question it is important to know the instrumentation.
Since respirometers are measuring the <span>C<span>O2</span>:<span>O2</span></span><span> relation, clearly having biotic material and abiotic material will change the measurements.
You should be able to figure out that the general gas law is coming into effect because of the act of cellular respiration. In general terms, you are correcting your instrument to a known blank (you do this with scales and every other instrument).
By determining the reading for the blank (marbles) you can know the relative error of the instrument.
Taking a scale for example: You 0 the scale to a mass of importance (the amount of error you're okay with) and then use it for your measurements so you can be adequately confident of the mass you're measuring .</span>

Ivenika [448]

Hydroxyapatite refers to one of the prime components of and an important element of usual teeth and bone. It forms the matrix of teeth and mineral of the bone. It is the hydroxyapatite molecule that gives the teeth and bones their rigidity. These molecules can combine together to produce microscopic clumps.  

About seventy percent of the bone comprises of the inorganic mineral hydroxyapatite that comprises calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, calcium hydroxide, calcium fluoride, and citrate.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

1, 4, 5 are true. 2, 6, 7, 9 are not true. 3 and 8 are not known.

Explanation:

According to the information we have gathered from the vehicles sent to Mars and the data they collected and analyzed, "Minerals of types known to form in liquid water" on Mars. There is "abundant water ice" and also "dried-up river beds".These statements actually exist.

"Surface pools of liquid water" does not exist on Mars. "A network of straight-line canals", "cities built by an ancient civilization" and "frequent rainfall and snowfall" also do not exist on Mars according to the data.

We do not have any information to prove the existense of "underground pockets of liquid" and "microscopic life" but they are possibilities.

I hope this answer helps.

While the introduction of the mutant synthetase gene restored some of the growth characteristics, this strain still does not gro
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

A and D

Explanation:

Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is a type of RNA that decodes mRNA (messenger RNA) into protein. This phenomenon is known as translation.

If the strain of mutant synthetase gene does not grow fast despite having growth characteristics, the following possibilities could happen:

  • Sometimes histidine tRNA sends asparagine instead of histidine to other proteins where histidine residue should have been present for growth.
  • The normal synthetase might be present but not in an adequate amount.
