All the scientific models exhibit limitations as they are not representative of every possible scenario.  

• Scientific models are not a substitution for experimentation, they can be used in combination with experimentation to further comprehend a concept, process, or event.  

• The scientific models are based on present scientific knowledge and may have to be changed when novel discoveries are made.  

Thus, all the scientific models have limitations, the correct answer is option B.

Please take your time to see the picture and answer. (40 Points) ~Biology~In YOUR OWN WORDS, describe the functions of two of the membranes shown in the art of the amniotic egg.

Answers

The amnion, allantois, yolksac, and chorion are fluid-filled membranes that allow the embryo to survive inside the egg. The amnion, which is filled with amniotic fluid and provides the embryo with a stable fluid environment, surrounds and protects the embryo.

What is an amniotic egg?

A water-retaining shelled egg with four membranes that allows reptiles, birds, and egg-laying mammals to complete their life cycles.

There are membranes present, namely:

  • Extra-embryonic membranes: these are the membranes present in amniotic eggs that are not a part of the body of the developingembryo.
  • Inner amnioticmembrane: it usually surrounds the embryo.
  • The chorion: it surrounds the embryo as well as yolksac and aids in the exchange of gases.
  • The amnion: it helps to protect the embryo from mechanical shock as well as supports hydration.
  • The allantois: it usually stores nitrogenouswastes generated by the embryo as well as also facilitates respiration.

Thus, these are some membrane that is integral part of the amniotic egg.

In an experiment to test the hypothesis that added phosphate will cause marigolds to produce more blooms, the experimenter has two groups of pots planted with marigold seeds. One group gets watered with phosphate added to the water, while the other group gets watered with no phosphate. Both groups get the same amount of water and light.Which is the independent variable in this experiment?
A. amount of light
B. amount of water
C. amount of phosphate
D. amount of blooms on a plant

Answers

Answer:

C. amount of phosphate

Explanation:

First, you need to know what a dependent variable and an independent variable are.

The independent variable is the one that influences the dependent variable to exhibit a response that influences, generating a result that can be observed by the researchers.

The dependent variable, on the other hand, is one that does not influence anything, but is influenced to generate a result, by the independent variable.

In the question above, the researchers want to test the hypothesis that the added phosphate will cause the marigolds to produce more flowers. According to this hypothesis, we can conclude that the researchers want to know the influence of the amounts of phosphate on the flowering of marigolds. In this case, we can say that the amount of phosphate is the independent variable of the experiment.

 I think it's B. The amount of water
