Krusty the clown was told that a certain itching powder, called Itch-Might is the newest thing on the market. It claims to last 50% longer than other itching powders. Krusty buys the new powder and compares it to his usually itching powder, Scratch-A-lot. then krusty designs an experiment. Group A is given the Itch-Might powder and Group B is given the Scratch-A-Lot powder. Group A reported itching for 25 minutes and group B reported itching for 35 minutes.

What was the independent and dependent variable?

1.The powder

2.The amount of people that scratched

3.Group A

4.Group B

explanation:

the sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including dna and rna. this backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
