Scientists have discovered a new specimen. It is microscopic yet complex, and scientists are having a hard time figuring out if it can be classified as a living thing or not. So far, scientists have observed some key things about the specimen. It performs photosynthesis, and since they have been watching, it has doubled in size. In fact, the scientists were able to retain one in the laboratory, and now they have four. The specimen has been kept in a petri dish in the lab; throughout the day, scientists observe it in different areas of the dish. Do you think the specimen is a living thing? Based on what you know about what makes a living thing, make your argument. Also include any observations that could be made that would make your argument even stronger.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

i dont have a visual in front of me, but i can you reason to try to get the right one. the graph should look like this, 0 to 6 there is a spike, 12 to 14 there should be a very low point. slight increase in the graph at 12 to 14, and flat 14 to 18
