With kate gathered three boxes of the same size made of different materials: glass, clear plastic, and aluminum painted black. she placed them on a window sill in the sun for an hour and then measured the warmth of the air in each box. in this experiment, the types of box materials are a(n) a. constant b. dependent variable c. control d. independent variable

Using the periodic table, determine which material is most likely a good conductor

Did you know that a single bee would have to go to over 2 million flowers to make a single pound of honey?

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?
