ANS
1.
for
valid
experiments,
data
should
be
collected
numerous
times
(the
more
times,
the
more
accurate)
2.
only
one
variable
(independent)
should
be
changed
in
an
experiment.
All
others
should
be
controlled.
The
deponent
variable
is
dependent
upon
what
you
changed-it
will
be
what
you
are
measuring
in
n

(light,
salinity,
amount
of
water,
how
often
results
are
calculated,
amount
f

etc.)
-what
is
the
amount
of
independent
variables
used?
pick
a
quantity
suitable
for
the
experiment
appropriate
to
the

-state
the

of
the
entire
experiment
-state

results.

of

-
ANS
-state
the
most
with
reference
to
data
-state
the
least
with
reference
to
data
-manipulate
data
by
finding
range
creating
or
working
with
graphs
-
ANS
-use
the
entire
graph
-correctly
label
the
x
and
y
axis
-use
correct
intervals.
do
not
use
breaks
to
begin
at
certain
number.
each
interval
is
equally
spaced.
use
appropriate
scale
the
divide
the
total
number
of
spaces
on
the
graph
by
the
range.
this
will
give
you
your
interval.
-when
constructing
a
graph,
make
sure
your
scale
is
appropriate
to
show
a
relationship-you
may
need
to
have
values
on
the
axis
to
the
left
and
to
the
right
-plot
all
points
correctly
-line

fit

be

an
experiment
into

no

-
ANS
remember
that
aice
looks
at
symbiosis
and
mutualism
one
in
the
same.
it
is
a
close
relationship
between
2
different
species
where
both
benefit.
make
sure
you
explain
what
both

-
ANS
explain
why
extreme

unstable
environments
have
low
biodiversity
first,
define
terms:
extreme,
unstable,
and

second,
give
examples
of
each
environment
with
organism's

to
that

extreme
environments
-
ANS
have
a
low
ph,
high
temperature,
low
oxygen
and
high

-extreme
environments
have
limited
resources
-hydrothermal
vents
are
an
extreme

-example

vent
is

unstable
environments
-
ANS
-sandy
environments
where
there
is
sand
slippage;
organisms
are
easily
washed
away
-organsims
burrow
to
avoid
being
washed/swept
away.
they
are
also
exposed
to

so

can
occur.
organisms
must

high
biodiversity
-
ANS
areas
of
high
biodiversity
have
a
narrow
niches
because
if
niches
overlap,
individuals
will
die
out.
