Question
I am confused with the bottom part of the page, not sure what should I put there. I have some thoughts but still.. Can anyone help me please? :(( Observation: During spring break, you and your friends take a trip out west to study the fauna and flora of the Sonoran Desert. You observe that there are several species of animals, including herbivores (plant-eaters) despite the fact that there is very little rainfall and no standing water. As a biologist, you wonder where they get their water trom. You also observe that there are few plants, but those that grow usually are covered in prickly spines or thorns. One of your friends mentions that cacti, for example, store a lot of water. You wonder what the function of those or thorns. spines and thorns is Hypothesis: Predictions (how could you test this hypothesis): Test: Piae the plost uith prickly spines or thonc anel sithat honsill be able to Save t- The independent variable isex The dependent variable is How exactly would you measure the dependent variable? s plasts tith pickly spasd.nu dhanis What is your control group? Can you think of any confounding variables? What variables need to be controlled? How would you present your data, table, line graph, scatter plot or bar graph?Explanation / Answer
Dependent variable would be water storage.
This can be measured by taking the cacti/plant leaf and extracting the water.
The control group would be a plant with spines and thorns
Confounding variable would be the rain. it has a correlation with the storage of water and with the environment.
The data can be presented in a table.
The variables which need to be controlled are the rain/water intake.
