-
saltwater environment:
-
-
Give predictions that follow from your hypothesis for the following. As in, will the carrot gain length/weight, lose length/weight, or remain the same (4 pts):
-
freshwater experiment (length)
-
freshwater experiment (weight)
-
saltwater experiment (length)
-
saltwater experiment (weight)
-
-
Which change should be a better indicator of osmosis, length or weight? Explain why or why not. (2 pts)
-
Fill out the table below. Don’t forget units! (3 pts):
freshwater experiment saltwater experiment Initial length Final length Length change p-value Significant? Initial weight Final weight Weight change p-value Significant? -
Does your data reject or fail-to-reject each hypothesis? Explain why or why not using p-values and common sense. Be thorough! (4 pts)
