Complete question:
Fish are sensitive to many environmental variables: dissolved oxygen, light, temperature, pH, clarity of the water, food supply, presence of predators, etc. Fish will be attracted to different locations in a lake, based on its mix of variables.
Imagine you want to conduct an experiment to understand how just one of these variables differs in a local lake, depending on its depth. This lake reaches a depth of 17 meters. For this activity:
Pick a variable that might change as you go deeper in the lake on a given day.
Do a little research on that variable to determine how you might measure it in a lake.
Use the template below to outline an experiment to investigate this variable in the lake by depth. For each part, simply answer the question in parentheses to create your outline.
Type your response to each field in the space below that field:
Title: (Enter a brief, descriptive title. Hint: Sometimes it’s best to do this last.)
Purpose: (Why are you doing this experiment?)
Hypothesis: (What do you predict from this experiment and why?)
Procedure/Method: (How will you specifically carry out your experiment to test your prediction?)
Observations: (What specifically would you look for and record?)
Data analysis: (With this kind of data, what would be the best way to present it?)
Conclusion: [No need to enter anything here for now.]
References: (List any references you used to design the experiment. Note that for a full experiment write-up you’d also list any references you used while carrying out the experiment or in analyzing your results.)
Answer and Explanation:
Variable: dissolved oxygen
Title:Oxygen variation as a water quality indicator.
Purpose: To study how dissolved oxygen varies with depth
Hypothesis: The percentage of dissolved oxygen will decrease as depth increases.
Procedure/Method:
Observations:
%DO in each site and depth will be recorded in order to analyze how it varies with depth.
Data analysis:
According to different indicators of water quality in a lake, the observed %DO will be compared and analyzed to evaluate the sanity state of the lake water. Example of valuation scale,
NORMAL index: Oxygen concentration in the water column is found to be sufficient for the fish survival
REGULAR: Decrease in oxygen concentration at greater depth, values below saturation in the background
CRITICAL: Null oxygen concentration in all or part of the column profile of water. Probable fish mortality events.
According to the taken data, observations on the study site will be taken, such as the variation in oxygen concentration as it gets deeper, until reaching hypoxia level, where fishes can not survive. Data can be presented in tables and in graphs, in both cases comparing sampling sites and depth, making a focus on the valuation scale.
Conclusion:
Association of the oxygen variation with the sanity state of the lake, microbiology decomposition processes at different depths, eutrophication state, among others.

Every living thing requires lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and proteins for survival and proper functioning. These are the biological macromolecules that carry out crucial functions such as energy provision, genetic instruction, and various metabolic reactions.
All living things require certain molecules to survive and function. These molecules include Lipids, Carbohydrates, Nucleic Acids, and Proteins. Lipids are fats that provide long-term energy storage and insulation. Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy. Nucleic Acids such as DNA and RNA contain the genetic instructions for the development, function, growth, and reproduction of living organisms. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including catalyzing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, responding to stimuli, and transporting molecules from one location to another. Phosphate and oxygen, while also essential to life, are technically not molecules but atoms or ions involved in various biological processes.

Answer:
CHHOSE
Explanation:
THE ABC
Answer:
Tritiated thymine or tritiated thymidine
Explanation:
It would selectively label DNA but not RNA because of the presence of the uniformly labeled backbone phosphorus atoms in the DNA.

O False
Answer:
13,636 seconds = 227.3 minutes = 3.79 hours
Explanation:
The titin protein has a molecular weight of 3,000,000 daltons, while the average molecular mass of one amino acid is 110 daltons, so it is expected that this protein is composed of 27,273 amino acids (3,000,000 daltons/110 daltons = 27,272.72). Moreover, and since the translation rate is two amino acids per sec, it is expected that the protein will be synthesized in approximately 3.79 hours (27,272.72/2 = 13,636 seconds = 227.3 minutes = 3.79 hours).
Cold-blooded animals change their body temperature to match the environment.
Mammals and birds are usually cold blooded.
All of the above.
Answer:
Explanation:
Cold blooded animal did not have cold blood.
Cold blooded animals can’t change their body temperature to match the environment.
Mammals and birds are not cold blooded.
Endotherms, such as mammals and birds, are able to maintain a constant body temperature in the face of changing environmental conditions. In contrast, cold-blooded animals, or ectotherms, have a body temperature that matches their environment and varies with it.
An animal that maintains a constant body temperature in the face of environmental changes is called an endotherm. These animals are able to maintain a level of activity that an ectothermic animal cannot because they generate internal heat that keeps their cellular processes operating optimally even when the environment is cold.
Mammals and birds evolved endothermy, meaning they regulate their body temperature from the inside through metabolic or physical changes. This allows them to maintain a relatively stable body temperature regardless of the outside temperature.
Cold-blooded animals, also known as ectotherms, rely on external temperatures to set their body temperature. Their body temperature varies with the environment.
