A student conducted an experiment to determine if listening to different types of music would affect pulse rate. She thought that pulse rate would change with different types of music. Each person participating in her experiment listened to seven different selections of music for 30 seconds each. The pulse rates were taken after each 30-second interval of music. Based on her experiment, the student concluded that a person's pulse rate changed when listening to different types of music.The component missing from this experiment is a:(1) prediction(2) hypothesis(3) control group(4) research plan
An experiment was carried out to determine whether drinking caffeinated soda increases pulse rate. The pulse rates of two groups of people at rest were measured. Group A was then given caffeinated soda and group B was given caffeine-free soda. One hour after drinking the soda, the pulse rates were measured. The participants in the experiment were all the same age, and they were all given the same amount of soda. The dependent variable in this experiment is the:(1) type of soda given to each group(2) amount of soda given to each group(3) pulse rate of each group(4) age of participants in each group
Which statement best describes a controlled experiment? (1) It eliminates the need for dependent variables.(2) It shows the effect of a dependent variable on an independent variable.(3) It avoids the use of variables.(4) It tests the effect of a single independent variable.
The graph below represents the growth of bacteria cultured at three different temperatures over a period of 24 hours. Which statement concerning the rate of cell division in the bacteria culture is correct?(1) Cell division is most rapid at 37ºC between 6 and 8 hours after it began.(2) Cell division is most rapid at 25ºC between 20 and 24 hours after it began.(3) Cell division is most rapid at 18ºC between 4 and 8 hours after it began.(4) Cell division occurs at the same rate no matter what the temperature.
What is the approximate length of the earthworm shown in the diagram below? (1) 9 mm (2) 10.6 cm (3) 90 mm (4) 106 cm
The development of an experimental researchplan should not include a: (1) list of safety precautions for the experiment (2) list of equipment needed for conducting theexperiment (3) procedure for the use of technologies neededfor the experiment (4) conclusion based on data expected to be collectedin the experiment

What normally happens immediately after fertilization in sexual reproduction? (1) specialization of cells to form a fetus from an egg(2) production of daughter cells having twice the number of chromosomes as the parent cell(3) production of daughter cells having half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell(4) division of cells resulting in the development of an embryo from a zygote

The diagram below shows a process that affects chromosomes during meiosis. This process can be used to explain:(1) why some offspring are genetically identical to their parents(2) the process of differentiation in offspring(3) why some offspring physically resemble their parents(4) the origin of new combinations of traits in offspring
Which set of functions is directly controlled by the cell membrane? A. protein synthesis, respiration, digestion of food molecules B. active transport, recognition of chemical messages, protection C. enzyme production, elimination of large molecules, duplication of DNA codes D. release of ATP molecules, regulation of cell reproduction, food production
Energy from organic molecules can be stored inATP molecules as a direct result of the process of (1) cellular respiration(2) cellular reproduction(3) diffusion(4) digestion

Each of these cells contains only half the genetic information necessary for the formation of an offspring. D.

(1) The yellow food-coloring molecules are small, while the blue food-coloring molecules are large. (2) The yellow food-coloring molecules are large, while the blue food-coloring molecules are small. (3) Both the yellow food-coloring molecules and the blue food-coloring molecules are large. (4) Both the yellow food-coloring molecules and the blue food-coloring molecules are small.
