A student is investigating the affect of different salts on melting points. Four patches of ice of equal size are roped off and

a different
type of salt is poured on each one receives table salt (NaCl), one receives Calcium Chloride (CaCl2), one receives Potassium
Carbonate (KCO3) and the fourth receives Inert sand instead. Each patch receives an equal amount of salt or sand. The student
measures the volume of ice remaining and subtracts it from the original volume of ice to see how much melted away. What is the
dependent variable?
•
A. The type of salt applied to the ice.
B. The amount of lee that melted.
C. The ice that received sand.
D. The size of the Ice patches

Answer:

B. The amount of lee that melted.

Explanation:

The dependent variable is more of what results from an action during an experiment. It is actually what is being tested for. In the experiment, the scientist seeks to understand the effect of salts on melting point of ice. He selects the different salts which can cause a ice to melt (independent variables) then he sets up to find out the effect of the salt on the ice.

He cannot control how much ice will melt. The properties of the salts would determine the extent and rate of the dissolution of the ice pack. This is the dependent variable which relies on the nature of the salt.

A scientist is testing the effectiveness of Drug X on cancer. She gives a small amount of the drug to the mice that have cancer.
anzhelika [568]

The answer is B. A dependent variable is one that varies according to the modulated independent variable. In this case, the independent variable is A -‘The amount of Drug x given to the mice’ since it is the one that is being controlled in the experiment.

Sav [38]

Answer:

All cells contain genetic information in the form of DNA molecules. ... Empirical evidence is required to differentiate between cause and correlation and to make claims about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions for the characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring.

Bioluminescence

Explanation:

In the deep oceans, the sea cucumbers and polychaete worms use the bioluminescence for defense against predators and to find or attract prey by glowing so the predator can easily see it's glowing skin.

Why are nutrients and gases most evenly distributed in a lake in the winter?
kvv77 [185]

When the temperature reaches 0˚C (32˚F), the top layer of the lake freezes and turns into ice. In solid form, water molecules are less dense and thus ice floats on the top of the lake.

This solid barrier prevents any wind-induced mixing as well as protects the relatively warm water underneath. Furthermore, light is also blocked so that photosynthesis is inhibited during this period. As the lake water is separated from the atmosphere, no direct oxygen diffusion occurs.

All these factors together causes a more even distribution of nutrients and gases in a lake in winter.
