Experimental Scenario

Donna has observed that her father can control the speed of their grandfather clock by adjusting the

height of the weight on the end of the pendulum. Donna thinks that the pendulum will move faster

when the weight is lowered, and wants to test her idea. Donna gets a stopwatch and measures the

time it takes for the pendulum to swing twenty times when the weight is moved to its lowest position.

Donna begins to move the pendulum up by 1 cm and continues to measure the time for twenty swings

of the pendulum. Donna records her data

1) Provide a brief description of the methods that are being used to run the experiment

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Reduce the mass and measure the speed of pendulum.

Explanation:

First measure the swings of the pendulum at its original weight. After that some weight is removed from the pendulum and again measure the number of swing of pendulum at specific time period. We have to reduce mass of pendulum and then measure the number of swings. In this way, this experiment moves forward and we can find out the impact of mass on the speed of pendulum.

Describe movement of molecules to maintain a healthy cell environment. Explain in details

Answers

Answer:

Very necessary for its survival.

Explanation:

Movement of molecules is very important to maintain a healthy cell environment because some molecules are required by the cell for its growth and development. Some molecules moves inside the cell environment through a semi-permeable membrane such as glucose, oxygen, potassium etc while on the other hand, some molecules are removed from the cell which are waste materials such as carbondioxide etc. If these waste materials are not removed from the cell, it greatly damaged the cell.

When purified virulent pneumococci DNA was introduced to avirulent pneumococci, Avery and his colleagues observed _____. Multiple choice question. no death in test animals only growth of avirulent pneumococci, indicating DNA was NOT the agent of transformation death of test mice growth of virulent pneumococci, indicating DNA was the agent of transformation

Answers

Answer:

death of test mice, growth of virulent pneumococci, indicating DNA was the agent of transformation

Explanation:

In an experiment conducted by three scientists namely: Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod and Maclyn McCarty in 1944, it was proven that DNA is the substance that causes transformation in bacteria as opposed to proteins.

In this experiment, Avery and his colleagues combined a dead but virulent strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae & a living but avirulent strain of the same bacterium and inserted into a living rat. They found out that the test specimen (rat) died and observed the growth of the virulent pneumococci.

This suggests that the virulent strain of bacteria has transferred its virulent DNA via transformation into the avirulent strain to kill the rat. Hence, indicating DNA as the agent of transformation.

Answer:

O D. small

Explanation:

In ecology a disturbance is an event that causes a change in the environment. There are small-scale disturbances and high-magnitude disturbances. Small-scale disturbances are typically driven by biological processes -for example the fall of a tree- while high magnitude disturbances are typically driven by physical processes -for example, storms-. Small-scale disturbances as single-tree blowdowns are very important  to create and maintain diversity and heterogeneity in the forest.

Answers

Answer: Light is necesarry for photosynthesis to occur

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the investigation was most likely testing the hypothesis that light is necesarry for photosynthesis to occur.

Photosynthesis, simply means the process by which green plants transform light energy into chemical energy. It should be noted that during photosynthesis, light energy is captured which is then used in the convertion of carbon dioxide and water, into oxygen and energy which comes in form of sugar.

Answer: This investigation was most likely testing the hypothesis that SUNLIGHT is necessary for photosynthesis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis can be defined as the process by which plants (green plants) use inorganic compounds such as carbondioxide and water to manufacture their own food. This process is not only important to plants but also to animals which depends on plants for food. The main features of photosynthesis include:

--> it takes place in chlorophyll of plant cells

--> Raw materials needed for this process are inorganic compounds such as carbondioxide and water

--> Final products are organic compounds such as sugar and oxygen as by product.

--> Energy needed for this process is gotten from SUNLIGHT which is absorbed by the chlorophyll.

To show that sunlight is necessary for photosynthesis, an experiment is performed as stated in the question above. Only the part of the leaf that had NOT BEEN covered turned blue black because the exposed part has been actively photosynthesizing due to the presence of SUNLIGHT. While the covered part didn't undergo any photosynthesis as it tested negative for starch when placed in Lugol's iodine solution.

Explain how this mutation will result in competition within the population that is linked to the idea of survival of the fittest.

Answers

Answer:

Survival of the fittest, term made famous in the fifth edition (published in 1869) of On the Origin of Species by British naturalist Charles Darwin, which suggested that organisms best adjusted to their environment are the most successful in surviving and reproducing. Darwin borrowed the term from English sociologist and philosopher Herbert Spencer, who first used it in his 1864 book Principles of Biology. (Spencer came up with the phrase only after reading Darwin’s work.)

Herbert Spencer's Principles of Biology (1864) first introduced the expression “survival of the fittest.”

Survival of the fittestQUICK FACTSKEY PEOPLEAlfred Russel WallaceHerbert SpencerRELATED TOPICSAdaptationNatural selectionDarwinian fitnessUse in evolutionary theory

Darwin did not consider the process of evolution as the survival of the fittest; he regarded it as survival of the fitter, because the “struggle for existence” (a term he took from English economist and demographer Thomas Malthus) is relative and thus not absolute. Instead, the winners with respect to species within ecosystems could become losers with a change of circumstances. For example, fossil evidence supports the notion that the mammoth (Mammuthus) was more fit during the most recent ice age (which ended roughly 11,700 years ago), but it became less fit as humans hunted it and the world’s climate warmed; fossil evidence suggests that the mammoth succumbed to extinction a few thousand years later.

Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection entailed three crucial elements: variation, reproduction, and heritability. Variations in the physical features of organisms that tend to benefit an individual (or a species) in the struggle for existence are preserved and passed on (or selected), because the individuals (or species) that have them tend to survive. The success or failure of a given variation is not known when it emerges; it is known only retrospectively, after organisms that possess it either grow and mature and pass it to their own offspring or fail to mature and reproduce.

Importantly, Darwin was influenced by the thinking of English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton, whose system emphasized experimentation, mathematics, and logic over subjective sense experience. During Darwin’s time, his evolutionary theory was an attempt to construct a similar system for the living world, a frontier not yet crossed in the biological sciences.

Some philosophers and scientists have suggested that the notion of survival of the fittest is an example of circular reasoning—that is, a tautology (a statement framed in such a way that it cannot be falsified without inconsistency). In tautologies, any true statements that follow are a matter of definition. Indeed, describing those that survive as the fittest is similar to stating that those that survive survive. British philosopher Karl Popper considered “survival of the fittest” self-evident at first; however, he changed his mind after realizing that Darwin posited variation axiomatically; that is, Darwin noted that all individuals did not start with the same set of characters (or traits). Therefore, the forces affecting survival did not weigh on individuals and species equally; there were always variations, some of which would prove favourable and confer fitness over others.

Javier investigated what happens when Earth's plates meet. He found that as Earth's plates meet at plate boundaries and interact, they move in three different ways. The ways they interact produce changes on land and on the ocean floor. What are the kinds of boundaries that plates form? Label each plate boundary with the correct type from the choices below.

Answers

Answer:

I. Divergent

II. Convergent

III. Transforming

Explanation:  

The crust is the outermost layer of the earth. It is divided into many plates that move over the mantle. Nowadays, there are six different bigger plates and twelve that are smaller. These plates are limited by three types of ridges or borders that differ in the movement they produce.

Boundaries types:

I. Divergent: New crust is created by the rising molten materials coming from the mantle. Two plates separate, and the stream of hot material creates a new seabed between them. It occurs an expansion of the sea bottom. As old plates get separated, the new and young crust instantaneously gets formed. The emerging mantle occupies the space left by the separation of the two plates. This process occurs along with an underwater mountain range, known as the mid-oceanic ridge or divergent ridge. An example of this is the ridge located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, extending from Greenlander to the southernmost point of South America.

II. Convergent. Collision area between two plates. Two oceanic plates might collide, or one oceanic plate with a continental one. In this last case, the oceanic crust sinks under the continental plate, and magma rises to the surface by crevices. The thicker and older plate subduces under the other plate. The Himalayas and Los Andes are examples of these collisions. Also, collisions create volcanic arches and continental arches.

III. Transforming. The plates slide laterally with each other, and they are usually called faults. It is associated, in general, with the oceanic ridge, although it might also occur in the continental plate. No rocky material is either destroyed or formed. When the plates move and produce a displacement of one transforming limits from side to side, earthquakes occur. The movement breaks the crust and originates pronounced fractures. The San Andrés fault is an example of this plate ridges.

The kinds of boundaries that plates form is the fact that seismic activity takes place at the three known types of plate boundaries called divergent, convergent, and transform.

What happens when Earth's plates meet?If two tectonic plates meet, they create a kind of convergent plate boundary.

One converging plates often shift or move below the other, in  an act known as subduction.

The new magma (molten rock) tend to increase and may erupt to create volcanoes.
