Ascientist observes chimps putting dry leaves into a hole in the tree. the leaves come out wet and the chimps lick the water off of the leaves. the scientist reasons that there is water inside the tree. this reasoning is called a(n)

The reasoning made by the scientist after observing the behavior and activity of the chimps is known as inductive reasoning.

The inductive reasoning is said to be made when the generalizations are made based on the specific behaviors of the subjects. In the given experiment, the scientist observes the behavior of the chimps, who are putting dry leaves in the tree hole, which makes the leaves wet and then they lick water. Based on this it can be broadly concluded that the water is coming from inside the trees.

Hence, the answer is 'inductive reasoning'.

blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium of the heart. as the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs where it is oxygenated.
