Researchers note that a plant closes its stomata on a hot, dry, windy day. What statement describes the plant response to these conditions?
A)
The stomatal closings and the environmental conditions are unrelated for this plant.
B)
The stomatal closings and the environmental conditions are unrelated for
this plant.
Water loss and water stress is highest on hot, dry, windy days, so the plant
closes stomata to conserve water.
Hot, dry, windy days are not conducive to pollen spread, so the plant closes
its stomata to prevent pollination.
Photosynthesis is decreased on hot, dry, windy days, so the plant closes its
stomata to prevent carbon dioxide diffusion.

Zoe decided to measure the hand length of each of her classmates. first she marked a line across each student's wrist and lined up a ruler from this mark to the top of the middle finger to measure the length. then she recorded the measurements in the table below. marla did this the same way for each classmate, and then zoe used this ruler to measure each straight line and record the data below. this data is invalid. what is the most likely reason why it is invalid? the ruler is marked in centimeters, but zoe recorded data in inches. the range of lengths is too wide, so zoe must have misread the ruler. marla’s complicated measuring procedure was overly confusing. marla could have been inconsistent while drawing outlines of fingers.

In 1959, doctors began using the powerful antibiotic methicillin to treat infections of staphylococcus aureus, but within two years, methicillin-resistant strains of s. aureus (mrsa) appeared. how did the resistant strains of s. aureus emerge? in 1959, doctors began using the powerful antibiotic methicillin to treat infections of staphylococcus aureus, but within two years, methicillin-resistant strains of s. aureus (mrsa) appeared. how did the resistant strains of s. aureus emerge? staphylococcus aureus bacteria that were able to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin survived the methicillin treatments and reproduced at higher rates than did other individuals. over time, these resistant individuals became increasingly common. in response to treatment of staphylococcus aureus infections with methicillin, some bacteria began to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin. these bacteria survived the methicillin treatments and reproduced at higher rates than did other individuals. over time, these resistant individuals became increasingly common. in response to treatment of staphylococcus aureus infections with methicillin, bacterial populations gradually began to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin.

During an experiment, readings for blood pressure in a persons body were found to be constant . however , when he measured by a different blood pressure cuff , the readings differed by 15 points for each reading. this difference indicates that the results are
