A student wants to test if a bean plant will grow taller under green light than under sunlight. Select from the drop-down menu the correct step of the scientific method that each statement describes. Two identical bean plants are grown next to each other. They receive the same amount of water and sunlight. One plant is covered with a green, light-filtering plastic cover, and the other with a clear plastic cover. Measurements of the bean plants’ heights are recorded every day for two weeks.

Conventional hot-water heaters consist of a tank of water maintained at a fixed temperature. the hot water is to be used when needed. the drawback is that energy is wasted because the tank loses heat when it is not in use, and you can run out of hot water if you use too much. some utility companies are encouraging the use of on-demand water heaters (also known as flash heaters), which consist of heating units to heat the water as you use it. no water tank is involved, so no heat is wasted. a typical household shower flow rate is 2.50 gal/min (9.46 l/min ) with the tap water being heated from 51.0 ˚f (10.6 ˚c) to 120 ˚f (48.9 ˚c) by the on-demand heater.what rate of heat input (either electrical of from gas) is required to operate such a unit, assuming that all the heat goes into the water?
