When adult amphibian skin harbors populations of the bacterium, Janthinobacterium lividum (Jl), chytrid infection seems to be inhibited. Which of the following represents the best experimental design to test whether this inhibition is real?A) Inoculate uninfected amphibians with Jl, and determine whether the amphibians continue to remain uninfected by chytrids.
B) Inoculate infected amphibians with Jl, and determine whether the amphibians recover from infection by chytrids.
C) Take infected amphibians and assign them to two populations. Leave one population alone; inoculate the other with Jl. Measure the rate at which infection proceeds in both populations.
D) Take infected amphibians and assign them to two populations. Inoculate one population with a high dose of Jl; inoculate the other with a low dose of Jl. Measure the survival frequency in both populations.

Answer:

Answer:

C: Take infected amphibians and assign them to two populations. Leave one population alone; inoculate the other with Jl. Measure the rate at which infection proceeds in both populations.

Explanation:

In scientific investigations, the best way to determine the effect of certain experimental factor on the population of study is to have a baseline for comparison. This is usually referred to as controlled experiment.

In the case of the observation that chytrid infection in amphibians seems to be inhibited by Janthinobacterium lividum, the best way experimental design is to get a population of amphibians suffering from the disease, divide them into two groups and subject them to the same conditions except the introduction of Janthinobacterium lividum to the skin of one of the groups.

A suitable method can thereafter be employed to measure the rate at which infection proceeds in both population. If indeed, the bacterium has the capacity to inhibit the infection, the rate of infection in the group with the bacterium will be significantly less than that of the group without the bacterium.

The correct option is C.

Why is testing ideas an important part of all science and engineering practices

Answers

Scientists and engineers actively seek evidence to test their ideas — even if the test is difficult. The reason behind is the importance of asking questions based on observations to find more information about the natural effects and proposals. From there, it is ought to determine expected results based on testing, evidence resulting from that experiment will allow testers to find out the solution they are looking for.

please helpppppp

Answers

Answer:

1. b. homeostasis: The internal balance of heat within an organism is maintained by the process of homeostasis. It is the ability of the organism to maintain the internal body temperature with respect to the changes that occur in the external environment.

2.d) human: The human beings are capable for maintaining the internal temperature due to homeostasis because they exhibit fat which allows them to maintain the internal heat.

3.c) the guard cell lose pressure and the stomata open: The stomata are small pores present on the underside of the leaf surface these are important for exchange of gases and water to the external environment. The water is lost by the stomata of the leaf during transpiration. When the plant requires to remove excess of water from the plant body it is evaporated from the stomata through transpiration.  

1. Homeostasis
2.Human ( a mammal)
3. B- it should be this, they swell and the stomates close, making the leaf bigger and letting it get more sunlight

How are the products of photosynthesis from the leaves get transported to all other parts of the plants​

Answers

Explanation:

These sugars are transported across the plant by the phloem, a mechanism known as translocation. Sinks are sugar distribution points such as roots, young shoots, and developing plants. The product of photosynthesis is transported from source of production to the storage organs through Phloem
