Students have asked these similar questions
Plants grow in many different shapes and sizes. Much of their shape depends on an internal structure that is composed of
carbon-containing molecules such as cellulose and lignin. Plants that have a strong internal structure can grow larger than other
plants because their structure can support their size.
Plants obtain the majority of the carbon necessary for building these structural molecules from -
O air
O microorganisms
O soil
O water

He collects information about the local people, including how many family members contracted the disease and where they live. John discovers that the disease is most common in homes located closest to the town’s water pump. John contrives an explanation: that the illness is waterborne and people are contracting the disease from water they retrieve from the town’s water pump. After petitioning the authorities, the handle at the pump is removed. John collects data about disease incidence and finds that occurrence of the disease is greatly reduced. John concludes that the water from the pump was causing the illness. What step(s) of the scientific method is/are missing from Data Table 1? Describe each and propose a way that they might be fulfilled in the scenario?arrow_forward
