During the study period the bats were monitored for signs of WNS.
What is the specific hypothesis being tested by the inclusion of group
4 in this experiment? - ANSWER-geomyces destructans causes WNS,
and it can be transmitted by direct contact with the fungus; no
contact with infected bats is needed for transmission of the fungus
During the study period the bats were monitored for signs of WNS. In
this experiment, the independent was ________ and the dependent
variable was ________. - ANSWER-the type of exposure to Geomyces
destructans; whether the bats became sick with WNS
Scientists are human beings and, like all human beings, are
susceptible to personal and group biases that may influence how
they interpret evidence. Before original research work is accepted
and added to a growing body of scientific understanding, perhaps
even contributing to our understanding of an important scientific
theory, it must be scrutinized by experts in the field who have no
direct connection to the research under review. The main mechanism
for doing this is - ANSWER-peer-reviewed publications
A patient is coughing and producing a wheezing sound as she
breathes; she also has a fever. She goes to the doctor who listens to
her chest, takes X-rays of her chest, and determines that she
probably has something called croup. Which of the following are the
,facts in this scenario? - ANSWER-the patient is coughing, wheezing,
and has a fever
In science, when a hypothesis or group of hypotheses supported by
repeated experimental evidence holds true through time, it can be
developed into a - ANSWER-theory
The human heart pumps blood throughout the blood vessels in the
body. This is a scientific - ANSWER-fact
A patient often experiences numbness and pain in the thumb and
first two fingers on his right hand. He goes to the doctor, who
suspects that carpal tunnel syndrome is the reason for the numbness
and pain. The doctor then orders a simple test to see how fast nerve
impulses are moving up and down the patient's arm. The doctor's
preliminary diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome is a(n)
hypothesis. - ANSWER-hypothesis
Which of the following sequences correctly represents the biological
hierarchy of a multicellular organism? - ANSWER-cells → tissues →
organs → individual
A tissue is defined as a - ANSWER-a group of cells that performs a
unique set of tasks in the body
A researcher studying a group of individuals of the same species
living and interacting in a shared environment is said to be working at
the level of a - ANSWER-population
, Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms are held together by chemical
bonds to form ________ of sugar - ANSWER-molecules
Bats use echolocation to orient themselves and locate objects. Doing
this requires special adaptations in their inner ear, midbrain, and
auditory cortex of their cerebrum. The echolocation system of bats is
an example of a(n) - ANSWER-organ system
The caves in upstate New York, where Alan Hicks's team first noticed
the deaths of thousands of bats, represent the ________ where the
bats lived - ANSWER-ecosystem
Which term best describes the temperate deciduous forests that
cover the northeastern United States, including the Adirondack
Mountains? - ANSWER-biome
Land biomes are most commonly defined by - ANSWER-their climate
and physical characteristics that influence the dominant plant life
and, subsequently, animal life in them
What characteristic is NOT shared by all living organisms? - ANSWER-
they make their own energy
Living organisms maintain a constant internal environment by sensing
and responding to their internal conditions. This stable maintenance
of internal conditions is known as - ANSWER-homeostasis
