In an experimental study of the effect of copper deficiency on coat color in bicolored juvenile rats, the independent variable is?

amount of copper

Explanation:

The independent variable would be the amount of copper fed into the experimental rats.

An independent variable during an experiment is a variable whose value is not dependent on any other variable being measured in the experiment.

The value of an independent variable is not changed by any other variable in an experiment. In actual fact, the effect of the independent variable is being tested on other variables (dependent variables) in the experiment.

Hence, in an experimental study of the effect of copper deficiency on coat color in rats, the amount of copper fed into the system of the rats will be varied and the effects of this variation on the coat color of the rats would be observed by measuring relevant variables. Therefore, the amount of copper is the independent variable.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.

estuaries are the partially enclosed coastal bodies of brackish water formed at the mouth of sea where river meets an ocean. it is a transition zone between river and sea water so estuaries are influenced to both marine environment such as tides, waves and to riverine such as flow of fresh water and sediments. the mixing of sea and fresh water provide high level of nutrients, making estuaries a high product habitats.

many estuaries suffers degradation from a variety of human activities like erosion from deforestation, overgrazing, overfishing, drainage and eutrophication.

so from the above statement answers will be

1. false as estuaries are formed due to both brackish and freshwater.

2.true, due to high productivity estuaries are breeding ground for many marine species.

3. direct and indirect activities of man that contribute to pollution and deposition of sediments.
