True millions of different species live on coral reefs
Answer:
- Independent variable: Car weight (car + block with a mass of 10 grams)
- Dependent variable: Speed (the time the car takes to descend the ramp)
Explanation:
As you can see in the question above, Shawn wants to check the speed that a car takes when going down a ramp, related to the weight of this case, that is, he wants to know the influence of the weight that the car presents, in its speed in going down a ramp.
In this type of experiment, we can consider the weight that the car presents as the independent variable. This is because independent variables are those that influence a result within the experiment. They happen without the influence of another variable and are factors that impose changes in the analyzed system.
The dependent variable, however, is the car's speed down the ramp. This is because the dependent variables are those that need and are influenced by the independent variable, to achieve a result that can be measured and analyzed.
Less triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) hormones are made. ... The follicle cells of the thyroid gland produce thyroid hormones while the parafollicular cells produce parathyroid hormone (PTH)
The graph shows, in a period of time between 1978 and 2010. Therefore, it's related to the last 50 years, not the last 100 years, meaning that alternative D is wrong. The amount of sea ice shown in the graph is shown in the scale of million square miles. So, as the graph shows an initial value around 3.2 (3 millions and 2 hundred miles) and it ends up in a value around 2.2 (2 millions and 2 hundred miles), still the real values are around 2.8 (2 million and 8 hundred thousands initially) and 2.0 (2 millions at the end), having a lower value of 1.8 (1 million and 8 hundred thousand); So, in both scenarios, arctic sea ice has shrunk by 1,000,000 (1.0) square miles, being under 2,000,000, not over. Therefore, the highest number to be inside this amount is 2,000, so the correct answer is A: Arctic sea ice has shrunk by over 2,000 square miles in the last 50 years.
