The human stomach is an acidic environment. If the numbers below represent optimum pH for each of the following enzymes, which one most likely functions in the stomach?
a) 3
b) 7
c) 9
d) 14
a) 3 Anything less than 7 is an acid!
Shannon thinks that the color of light will affect the growth of pea plants. She set up two experiments – Group A: plants are placed under white light (representing the sun) and Group B: plants are placed under blue light. Every 3 days for a month she measured the height of the plants to see if they have grown and places her data in her data table. What is the independent variable?
The color of light
The following are the products. Name the process AND the reactants...
CO2 + H2O +ATP
Cellular respiration
Reactants:
Glucose and O2
Name the 4 stages of mitosis and describe what is happening in each stage
Prophase-chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope disappears, spindle fibers appear
Metaphase-chromosomes move to middle of cell
Anaphase-chromatids move apart to opposite poles of cell
Telophase-2 nuclei form, pinching in occurs
What is the independent and dependent variables from the example below?
Exposing plants to low temperatures result in changes of leaf color.
independent: low temperatures
dependent: changes in leaf color
