, You are conducting a lab experiment on the effect of moisture level upon mold growth. One
group of mold spores will be hels in Petri dishes at a humidity level of 100%, one group will be
held at a humidity level of 50%, and one group will be held at humidity level of 0%. After one
week, the dishes will be monitored in order to quantify the surface area covered by fungal
growth. Which of the following would represent the responding (dependent) variable? -
CORRECT ANSWER - The amount of fungal growth observed

ANSWER - providing cell support/ structure and storing water
The second law of Thermodynamics states that the universe has a tendency toward
disorganization (chaos). - CORRECT ANSWER - True
In a plant growth experiment in which scientific method will be used to investigate the effect of
watering treatment upon the growth of plants, a seedling group given distilled water would
represent the control group, and seedling given salt water could represent the experimental
group. - CORRECT ANSWER - True
What is the term for the phenomenon involving the spontaneous movement of solute from an
area of high concentration to an area of low concentration? - CORRECT ANSWER -
