Two students performed the same experiment, testing how far iodine will diffuse through starchy tissue, such as potatoes. They cut 5 potato squares each, all of equal sizes, and placed them into small cups with iodine solution for 15 minutes. Then they measured how far from the edge of the potato the iodine diffused into the potatoes, in millimeters. Distance Diffused (mm)
Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Trial 4 Trial 5
Student 1 3.25 3.17 3.26 3.64 3.44
Student 2 3.14 3.43 3.22 3.37 3.28

1. What is the range of student 1's results?
a. 3.35
b. 0 29
c. 0 47
d. 3 29

2. Why do scientists conduct experiments?
a. To test their results.
b. To test a hypothesis.
c. To test a conclusion.
d. To explain an observation.

Option c

Option b

Explanation:

To calculate range: range is highest data value - lowest data value

where the highest value in student 1's result is 3.64 and the lowest value is 3.17

Thus, the range of student 1's result is

3.64 - 3.17 = 0.47

Scientists conduct experiments to test a hypothesis. For a scientific research, the researcher first form hypotheses on a particular question she wants answered or maybe she is curious about something. An experiment is then carried out to further test the validity of the hypothesis so as to be able to make a conclusion.

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
