Biologists designed an experiment to test the effect of compost on the development of root crops. They tested several different

crops, including carrots, potatoes, beets, and onions. They grew most of the plants in the greenhouse, but due to space issues, they had to grow some outdoors. They gave all the plants the same amount of compost. They obtained the compost from a local farmer and from the local hardware store. They ran out of the farmer’s compost, so some of the plants received that compost when the seeds were planted and other plants got hardware store compost after the plants had already started growing. RESULTS: Some of the roots seemed really big. Other roots seemed normal or small. CONCLUSION: They couldn’t tell what the effect of the compost was because the results were inconsistent. What are five problems with this experimental design that could have caused the inconsistent results?

Answer:

The success of an experiment depends on a number of factors provided while experimenting like proper review of literature and proper information. The given question on soil ecology studies the effect of compost on the growth of several crops. The biologist was not able to reach the best conclusions of their result as their results were inconsistent due to:

1. The experiment was not designed properly as adding nutrients at the same time.

1. Lack of knowledge about the compost they added like the composition of nutrients.

2. The compost added were of different quality.

4. The crops grown were grown in two different soil types- the indoor greenhouse and outdoor farms.

5. Little knowledge about the control and experimental setup.

five problems with this experiment are:

1) lack of proper estimation

2) selected crops are different

3) crops are not grown in same environment, some are outdoor also

4) source of compost obtained is not same

5) timing of giving compost to crops is not same

A plant cell will have a cell wall (the others don't have these) and so it will be kept in a rigid shape, unlike the others which are free to be blobby. Inside a plant cell, there is also a vacuole containing cell sap. The others don't have this. Plant cells also have chloroplasts, which look similar to mitochondria on a diagram. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, and this is used for photosynthesis. </span><span>

In which group of children did scientists find results similar to those in harlow's monkey experiments?
Vladimir79 [104]
The correct answer is the group of Romanian orphans adopted by Western families. 
Harry Harlow is an American psychologist known for his highly controversial experiments on the maternal and social isolation in Rhesus monkeys. These experiments along with several previously developed theories formed the attachment theory. Harlow's experiments showed that monkeys isolated from their mothers at birth, exhibited later on in life aggressive behaviour and were unable to form social relationships. These experiments suggested that maternal separation can lead to animals with antisocial behaviour.
At the end of the Ceausescu regime in Romania, a big number of orphans were adopted in Western families. These orphans experienced poor living conditions in Romanian institutions, with no social interaction or proper nutrition. Romanian and British scientists followed the progress of these adopted orphans and the results suggested that this early deprivation was the cause of some social deficits. However, scientists are optimistic that these deficits can be reversed in some cases.

The nutritional energy content (in Calories) present in 86g of broccoli with 2.6g of protein, 6g of carbohydrates, and 0.3g of f
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

40 Cal

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Protein present in the broccoli = 2.6 g

Carbohydrates present in the broccoli = 6 g

Fat present in the broccoli = 0.3 g

Now,

We know,

Energy provided by protein and carbohydrates = 4 Cal / g

and,

Energy provided by Fats = 9 Cal / g

Therefore,

Total nutritional energy content = ∑(Amount × Energy provided)

= ( 2.6  × 4 ) + (6 × 4) + (0.3 × 9)

= 10.4 + 24 + 2.7

= 37.1 Cal    

rounding off the answer to nearest 5 ≈ 40 Cal

The graph shows the changing levels of hormones during menstruation and ovulation. What is the general trend for hormones after
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Hormone levels generally decrease.

Explanation:

<em>The graph showed that hormone levels after ovulation generally decrease.</em>

The menstrual cycle of women generally have 3 phases which include:

  1. <em>The follicular phase</em>
  2. <em>The ovulatory phase</em>
  3. <em>The luteal phase</em>

The follicular phase is characterized by low levels of oestrogen and progesterone and a slightly high level of follicle stimulating hormone which ensures that follicles within the ovary develop.

The ovulatory phase is characterized by a surge in the luitenizing hormone (which stimulates the release of eggs) and follicle stimulating hormone with a decrease in the level of oestrogen and a gradual increase in the level of progesterone.

The luteal phase is characterized by a general decrease in the levels of luitenizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone while oestrogen level may remain high.
