A student is testing how different amounts of heat affect lizard movement. What error has the student made while conducting the experiment? The first cage has one lizard, second one has two lizards, and the third one has 3 lizards.

• The experiment is missing a dependent variable .

• The experiment is missing an independent variable.

• The experiment has more than one control.

• The experiment has more than

  one independent variable.

Look at the equation. _. 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2. The equation for the process of photosynthesis is shown. Photosythesis porduces C6H12O6 which represents- (a)

• glucose
• chloroplast
• carbon dioxide

The three componensts of cell theory are the following:

• All living things are composed of one or more cells.

• All cells arise from preexisting cells.

• A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of living organisms

• All cells are considered to be non-living.

The 7 stages of the cell cycle are the following:

The stages of the cell cycle (interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) can be remembered by using the mnemonic IPMAT. During anaphase the chromatids are pulled to opposite poles of the cell by the shortening of the spindle fibres. ...? What happens during metaphase?

• The nucleus dissolves and the cell's chromosomes condense and move together, aligning in the center of the dividing cell.

• A nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to separate the nuclear DNA from the cytoplasm.

• It grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division

• A nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to separate the nuclear DNA from the cytoplasm.

Over the past few weeks, Briana has been conducting an experiment to see what type of bread grows the most mold within a given period of time. She's chosen 6 different types of bread, and as time passed, she's measured the areas of each mold patch that's grown on the respective bread slices. What is her indepenent variable.

• Time (weeks passed)

• Bread Type

• Amount of Mold Growth

• Area of bread slices
