In which of the following ways is the function of the surface of a microsphere similar to the function of an actual cell membrane? a. both make it possible for the conditions in the interior to be different from the conditions outside. b. both provide a barrier that keeps water from flowing across it so the interior remains dry. c. both separate the rna that forms in the interior from any rna that might form in the environment. d. both can actively move molecules into the interior or out into the surrounding environment.

Turtle hatchling survivorship rate is low in many turtle species due to predation. amanda researched the predatory rate on a species of turtle eggs in the red river. the eggs were harvested from trapped turtles and the egg's cloaca film (reproductive discharge) was either washed off or left on once gathered. research suggests that predators use the female's cloaca scent to locate the eggs. the eggs were only handled when wearing gloves and then reburied along islands where the turtles were trapped. the nests were monitored by cameras and manually on foot and data on nest predation were recorded. a. based on the experimental design, what is the dependent variable? b. based on the experimental design, what is the independent variable? c. based on the experimental design, what is the control?
