The 'BIO Quizzes for Exam 1' assesses understanding of scientific reasoning, hypothesis formulation, and theories. It covers inductive and deductive reasoning, hypothesis modification, and the difference in theory perception between scientists and the public.
He results of an experiment are not consistent with the hypothesis.
He results are consistent with a long-standing, but umpopular theory.
Another, more senior scientist does not like the results because they contradict his theory but are consistent with the one being tested.
The results are consistent with the hypothesis.

Rate this question:
The are the same meaning to both.
They are both words used as synonyms for technology but in a different sense by scientists and the lay public.
Scientists view a theory as a rigorously tested hypothesis with broad explanatory power; the lay pblic views a theory as an "imperfectly known fact" or a guess.
Both groups view a theory as a guess that has little support, but scientists view it as based on physical evidence, while the public views it as based on withful thinking.

To provide an untreated comparison with the experimental group
Rate this question:
the treatment applied to the control group

Rate this question:
There is no direct relationship
Limiting factors tend to drive population increases, carrying capacity tends to drive population decreases
Carrying capacity can be set by a single limiting factor.
Carrying capacity determines what limiting factors occur in a population.

Rate this question:
To turn chemical energy to heat energy
to recycle minerals to the reservoir for re-use by primary producers
To release minerals directly back to the consumers
to make new minerals for use in nutrient cycling
Rate this question:
The biomass decreases by 90% from each trophic level to trophic level
Toxic substances can enter the food web at the producer level that are absorbed and stored but not excreted by the producers and then the consumer levels
At higher trophic levels, toxins build up to a concentration high enough to cause harm to the organisms
All of the above, answer 1, 2, and 3 contribute to biological magnification
