The compound is water soluble, but is slightly basic and therefore needs to be buffered with 4% solution of hepes-hcl. what is the experimental variable in this experiment? what is the dependant variable? and what is the control in this experiment?

The kidney filters potentially toxic substances in the blood, and thus “clears” the blood of those substances. this clearance function is dependent upon and proportional to the diffusion gradient of the substance across filtering capillaries, i.e. if the concentration of the substance is doubled, twice as much will be cleared from each ml of blood that is filtered. suppose that the body produces a constant amount of a substance x per unit of time. the kidneys eliminate substance x at a rate directly proportional to the concentration of the substance and the volume of blood cleared each minute (c): elimination = c × [x], where [x] is the steady-state concentration of substance x. imagine an individual with an initial concentration of x equal to [x]0 who develops kidney disease. her baseline clearance c0 drops to one half of the original (½c0). what is the new steady state concentration of x? (for simplicity, assume that substance x is 100% filtered by the kidney).

Ascience research group is testing a new type of plant food. one trial is conducted in a controlled experiment. the data from the trial show that the plant that received the new food grew faster than the control plant. the group announces that the new plant food makes plants grow faster. what is the main weakness in this scientific claim?
