Summary Introduction
To hypothesize: The increased population density of a particular plant increases the rate at which a pathogenic
Introduction: “Population density” is the number of organisms inhabiting a particular area of land. An experiment should be carried out in a controlled environment where the test results won’t be impacted by external pressures. To carry out an experiment where the population density of the plant is detrimental to the result, various steps can be taken such as confining the plants in a specific area and so on.

- SCENARIO A Anthropologists have been studying the role of soybean curd and related products in the culture of Hong Kong. The researchers interview people about how frequently they eat soybean products, where they eat them (at home or in restaurants), and during what time of day they eat them. The researchers also ask people about how they prepare soybean products, where they obtain soybean products, and any beliefs they might have about soybean products (such as their nutritional value). The data are used to assess the role of soybean products in the culture. The researchers are also considering how their findings relate to global soybean consumption patterns.arrow_forwardDesign a simple experiment testing for the effect of cold temperature on poppy seed germination.

Identify an interesting ecological or evolutionary research question, then design an experiment to address this question using a plant system. To come up with your research question, think of questions related to topics covered in lecture. The following questions are very general, but might give you some ideas as you develop your own, more specific, question.• Which species in a group of species is the best intraspecific competitor?• Which species in a group of species is the best interspecific competitor? • Is the best intraspecific competitor also the best interspecific competitor?• Does competitive exclusion occur between two species with similar ecological niches?• Does the outcome of interspecific competition change in different environments, or is the best competitor always the best competitor under all environmental conditions?• Similar to the question above –…arrow_forward

- A team of researchers is interested in testing the amount of oxygen gas (O2) produced when the same species of plant is exposed to different colors of visible light. The research team has developed a hypothesis to test and designed experimental conditions to run. They have submitted the work to you for feedback and approval. Your job is to provide feedback concerning both the hypothesis and the experimental design. This will enable them to make the necessary changes to obtain approval for their research. The Team’s Hypothesis: The levels of oxygen gas will be higher for plants exposed to visible red light. How would you improve the hypothesis while also putting it into a proper hypothesis with an IF and THEN statement?arrow_forwardYou have formulated a hypothesis: "Mangos contain more vitamin C than oranges." To test your hypothesis you measure vitamin C levels in 20 oranges and 20 mangos from trees that were grown in the same orchard under the same environmental conditions (temperature, rain, sunlight).

- In the podcast on how to read a scientific paper what did Prof Fraser and Prof Clare conclude about reading scientific papers? Select the ONE BEST answer. a. The order in which you read a paper may depend on your goal. If you are looking for a method start there. you are reading something new that you know very little about, start with the introduction. b. Scientific papers should be read first from beginning to end. c. They always read the methods first; if the paper has not been done well it is not worth reading beyond this. d. They like to start with figures as this will tell you if the researchers found anything useful before you read any actual text. e. They both like to look at references first, as this tells them if the authors of the paper used good sources of information in their reading.arrow_forwardA person notices that her houseplants that are regularly exposed to music seem to grow more quickly than those in rooms with no music.
