In the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin found many different species of finches (a type of bird) that seemed closely related. He proposed that the birds had all evolved from a common ancestor. Match the bird beaks below to the most likely food source. Explain in the chart below how the five finches pictured above most likely came to have different beaks than each other and the extinct finch.

You have been asked to lead a demonstration for the undergraduate microbiology lab course about the uses of negative staining when studying bacteria. a "negative" stain does not stain the bacterial cell itself but stains the space between cells. under magnification, the acidic (negativelycharged) nature of the stain will be repelled by the negatively charged bacterial cell wall and willleave the cell colorless in a stained background. negative stains are used primarily to reveal the presence of negatively charged bacterial capsules; therefore, they are also called capsule stains. encapsulated cells appear to have a halo surrounding them. the negative stain procedure does not require heat fixation, which limits any chances of alteration in bacterial cell shape and size. the bacterial suspension is added to a drop of stain, such as nigrosin or eosin, and drawn across the glass slide using a coverslip.nigrosin staining-not safranin staining-of klebsiella pneumoniae will allow for the visualization of the cell shape and the determination of the presence of a capsule.true/false

Darrel conducted an experiment with the following procedure: fill two cups with ice water. place an uninflated balloon snuggly onto your left index finger. blow a little air into an identical balloon, and place it onto your right index finger. place both fingers into the cups of ice water. darrel noticed that his right finger felt warmer in the ice water than did his left finger. which of the following does the experiment show? a. air is a good radiator of heat. b. air is a good insulator of heat. c. air is a good conductor of heat. d. air is a good convector of heat.

Aresearcher created three groups based on participants bmi: normal weight, overweight and obese. the hypothesis being tested is that the three groups differ in the mean number of artificially sweetened drinks consumed weekly. which statistical test might the researcher use, assuming a reasonably normal distribution of values.
