Sean wants to know whether monarch butterflies prefer to feed from flowers of a certain color. Sean placed different colored lantana flower plants in separate 1-L terra cotta flower pots. He has a white lantana, purple lantana, orange lantana, yellow lantana, and red lantana. Sean set the pots on his back porch. He then observed the pots for four days and recorded how many visits each of the flower plants received from a monarch butterfly. What is the variable in Sean's experiment?

Answer 1
Answer:

The colour of the flowers is the variable in the above-mentioned experiment.

What is entomophily?

It is a method of performing cross-pollination where the transfer of the pollen grains from the anther of one flower of a plant to the stigma of another flower of a plant happens by the insects.

It is often called insect pollination. The flowers that are pollinated by insects have attractive petals of bright colours. This adaptation ensures that the insects will be attracted to the flowers.

The nectar present in these flowers, on which the insects feed is also sweet with an attractive scent. This is another factor which attracts the insects to the flowers.

It is by way of sucking the nectar that the insects also get pollen stuck on their mouth regions and legs. The pollen grains produced by these flowers are also sticky.

Therefore, to examine if monarchbutterflies prefer a specific coloured flower, different plants with different coloured flowers need to be used and the colour of the flowers will be the variable.

Question 1:

The right answer is A

Chemistry is a science of experimental nature that studies the composition of matter and its transformations.

Chemistry is thus interested in the elements that constitute matter (atoms, ions, etc.), in their properties and in the chemical bonds that can be created between them.

Question 2:

The right answer is A

Sodium chloride is an ionic chemical compound of the formula NaCl. It is more commonly called table salt or cooking salt, or simply salt in everyday language.

It is clear that it exists in the form of solid salts.

during his training, there was a physical change of sodium (metal) and chlorine (gas) into a salt.

Question 3:

This question is a little bit tricky

If we assume that the question is aimed at finding the total number of oxygen in all three molecules together, the answer is 18.

A glucose molecule is made up of 6 atoms of oxygens if we have three glucose molecules (assuming that they are bound), we multiply by 3 and this gives us 18 oxygen atoms.
