Below are three statements - two of which are truths and one is a lie. Which of the following statements is a lie?
Select one:
a.Some organisms have the function to be responsive only, some have the ability for movement only, but organisms are rarely found to have both functionalities.
b.Organisms that are responsive yet are not capable of moving become more prone to dangers, injuries, and eventually lead to its death.
c.If an organism has no ability to be responsive to changes in both internal and external environment despite being able to move, then the organism is most likely to be susceptible to danger or even lead to its own death.
You are asked to draw and explain the goal of the Meselson-Stahl (1958) Experiment as outlined in the classroom. You need to draw your own diagram and use short sentences to explain the steps and/or important points, deductions. Clearly state what happens at each step.
Diet and Thyroid Iodine is an important micronutrient involved in thyroxine production. Without adequate iodine present in the diet, a thyroid dysfunction called a goitre may occur.
A hypothesis is a proposed statement or a prediction that explains a phenomenon. In other words, it describes what you think will happen in an experiment and offers a starting point that requires further investigation. Page 122 of your Biology textbook states that "A hypothesis is a statement that provides one possible answer to a question, or one possible explanation for an observation." Hypotheses are based on previous knowledge or evidence and are tested in a variety of ways, including experiments and observations.
Iodine is the element necessary for the synthesis of thyroxine. In your own words, write a hypothesis about how an excess of iodine in the diet may or may not affect the amount of thyroxine produced by an individual (think about the negative feedback loop that regulates thyroxine…

- A new sunscreen claims to be better at preventing sunburn then any existing brand on the market. To test this claim, students rub the new sunscreen on one arm and another brand on their other arm and stand in the sun for 4 hours. Write a hypothesis for this test. What is the independent variable? What is the dependent variable? List two (or more) ways to improve this experimental design.arrow_forwardThe Siamese cat pictured is called a “seal point” because it has seal-colored (dark brown) extremities. Some Siamese cats show the same color pattern, but the dark areas are of a lighter color or even a different shade—for example, lilac point, red point, blue point. What results would you predict if the experiments described in the text (shaving the cat and then increasing or decreasing temperature) were conducted on cats with these color patterns?arrow_forwardYou are starting a dairy farm and have read that dairy cows make more milk when they are relaxed. Since your mother listens to classical music to relax, you wonder whether cows listening to classical music would make more milk. You have 40 cows. You decide to test the hypothesis that playing classical music will make cows produce more milk. Briefly summarize how you will design a controlled experiment to test your hypothesis. Then Identify the explanatory variable, the response variable, and the controlled variable in your study. And, finally, make a prediction and explain how you would interpret your results.arrow_forward
