Ascientist thought he may have discovered a new plant compound that would lower blood pressure in people. in his first experiment, he injected one hundred mice with the compound and found that the blood pressure in ninety-five of the treated mice was not affected. however, all of the mice seemed to grow at a faster rate then the control group. which statement describes the most likely outcome of this investigation? a. the knowledge gained will lead to further experimentation that could potentially result in a new use for the drug. b. he will develop a second experiment to find a way to make the drug successfully lower blood pressure in mice. c. the data he collected will be used in new investigations to determine why certain people are taller than others. d. he will use these results to conclude that the drug will most likely lower blood pressure in five percent of people.

The correct answer will be option-A.

Explanation:

The scientific method is a process which includes various steps to explain the generated hypothesis on the basis of observations which should be supported by the experiments and data.

In the given question, the scientist discovered the new compound which he just thought that it will help lower the blood pressure. He could have proposed the hypothesis to study the effects of the new compound on people.

So he performed the experiments on the mice (a member of same class-mammals) and found that the results showed variance from the expected results as the mice grew faster than the control groups instead of the low blood pressure. This could lead to the generation of new hypothesis to study new effects of the drug as the variance was observed for large sample size (95%) of the population.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.

i believe it is "they are not used up by reactions" as the answer to your question, text me back if this is correct because i just learned this.

igneous rocks which formed by the crystallization of magma at the surface of the earth called extrusive rocks. they are characterized by fine-grained textures because the rapid cooling at or near the surface did not provide enough time for large crystals to grow.
