Introduction:
In an ecosystem, the effects of abiotic factors are very important for the survival of species. Tolerance factor is the measurement of the range in which a particular organism can easily survive.

Answer to Problem 7A
Correct Answer:
Option (c) C.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (c) C. Zone C represents the zone, where some organism can survive. This is the condition, in which some individuals that can manage the physiological stress of may survive.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a) A. A represent the upper limit number of individuals of a population. Hence, it is an incorrect answer.
Option (b) B. The zone of intolerance is the zone, where no individual of the organism can survive. In the graph, the zone B has 0 survival, which means this range is not suitable for organism and hence, it is the zone of intolerance. Hence, it is an incorrect answer.
Option (d) D. Zone D has the maximum survival rate, which means this is the range in which the factor being tested is suitable for the growth and the reproduction of the organism, that is tolerable zone. Hence, it is an incorrect answer.

A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills. This study is It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months. The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out.
