Answer:
Effect of independent variable is studied on the dependent variable or subject of the experiment.
Explanation:
The independent variables are very important in an experiment. Basically the affect of an independent variable is studied on the subject or dependent variable.
Thus, it can be said that independent variable will produce the effect on the dependent variable.
Here in this case the different types of disinfectants are the independent variable and their effect will be observed on the bacteria (subject or dependent variable)
Answer:
The micrographs of cells shown in figure 8-3. what information about cells do these micrographs suggest is explained below in details.
Explanation:
Micrographs are the intensified images collected from small microscopes. Cell micrographs are often obtained from tissue specimens and show a constant mass of cells and inside compositions that are difficult to distinguish individually. It provides accurate images of the exteriors of cells and whole plants that are not imaginable by TEM. It can also be practiced for particle counting and size resolution, and method control.
The correct answer is option (d) atmosphere.
Fossil fuels are the hydrocarbons formed in the geological past, derived from the remains of dead plants and animals. They include the coal, fuel gas and the natural gas. The burning of fossil fuels is one of the greatest contributor of carbon dioxide being added to the atmosphere. This results in the pollution of air in the atmosphere resulting in the formation of smog. Carbon dioxide being a green house gas, affects the atmosphere and causes green house effect leading to global warming and climate changes.
The burning of fossil fuels affects the geosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere indirectly due to its primary direct effect on the atmosphere. Thus, atmosphere is directly affected by the burning of fossil fuels.
Answer:
The first blank can be filled with tagging. One of the procedures for studying the movements, biology, and migration of animals is known as tagging of animals. Tagging is utilized to examine the long-range irregular and regular movements of animals and to identify their life-span. All kinds of mollusks, vertebrates, and insects can be tagged.
The second blank can be filled with designate their area as a national park. Designation of the areas as a national park is one of the methods of conserving animals, like a tiger.
Explanation:
Answer:
(A) Bioaccumulation
Explanation:
When the concentration of certain substances in the bodies of the organisms of various trophic levels keeps on increasing as they pass through the food chain, the process is called bioaccumulation or biomagnification.
Most of the organic non-biodegradable pollutants/chemicals exhibit bioaccumulation. Being insoluble in water, these chemicals are accumulated in the fat tissues of the organisms.
As the predator feeds on the prey having a non-biodegradable chemical in its tissues, the chemical enters the body of the predator.
As these chemicals pass through the food chain, there is a gradual increase in their concentration stored in the living tissues of the organisms. Therefore, the top consumers exhibit maximum bioaccumulation of contaminants in a food chain.
