A student wants to design an experiment to answer the question, “How does particle size affect the rate at which particles settle out of water to form sediment on the bottom of a container?” What will be the dependent variable in the students experiment? a. the mass of the particles
b. the speed at which the water is moving
c. the time it takes particles to settle out of the water
d. the amount of sediment at the bottom of the container

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? question 15 options: as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.

What characteristic does giardia have that makes it a protist, a characteristic that all other protists have? a. it is a unicellular eukaryote. b. it is a eukaryote that is not an animal, a plant, or a fungus. c. it is parasitic and has flagella. d. it spends part of its time in a body of water.

Asingle-molecule microscopy experiment is performed on a slide containing 1000 molecules each of green, red, cyan, and yellow fluorescent proteins (gfp, rfp, cfp, and yfp, respectively). the experiment measures the number of antibodies bound to each type of protein, finding that 900 molecules of gfp, 10 of rfp, 1 of cfp, and 3 of yfp are bound at 1 nm concentration of antibody. a. what is the specificity of the antibody for gfp? b. what is the kd of the gfp–antibody interaction?
