Question

Lab question :)

Answer 1

Shenita is doing sea turtle research along the east coast of Florida and finds 10 female green sea turtles washed up on shore and very sick. There has been a recent red tide event along the east coast. She suspects the red tide has gotten into the plants the green sea turtles eat. She decides to have the sea turtles relocated to the Mote Marine Lab in Sarasota. Previous studies indicate that removal from red tide contaminated water for at least 50 days and the use of the drug Cholestyramine could help clear the toxin from the sea turtles bloodstream. After 2 months, Shenita and the Mote Marine Lab staff waved farewell to the healthy sea turtles as they released them back into the clear ocean water.

If we wanted to know for sure that the algae was causing the sea turtle deaths, what would need to be done with Shenita's experiment?

a. nothing
b. continue observing the area
c. redo the experiment using the same variables
d. do a totally different lab experiment

Answer 2

C

Answer 3

really? why, i thought nothing...

Answer 4

Because the first time he saw the dead fish floating there could have been other algae and mold and things like that so if you redo the experiment with the same variables you could find the leading cause for the dead fishies

Answer 5

this is a different question

Answer 6

oh ok but its the general Idea

Answer 7

ok, but i dont think she did an experiment, did she?

Answer 8

Sort of; she did research but since she found out why they were sick I would same nothing but I may be wrong. I know its either A or C

Answer 9

Well when I think about it It seems to be B because she never started an experiment she only observed the turtles and researched on them

Answer 10

right, so even thought its finished, like the turtles are gone to sarasota, they want to know what she could do more?

Answer 11

So yea B makes the most sense C and D she can't do because she hasn't done an experiment yet.

Answer 12

exactly and a?

Answer 13

A doesn't make sense because their asking what more can she do and doing nothing doesn't help anything

Answer 14

ok, thank you so much. That makes sense, now.. B it is.

Answer 15

Your welcome glad to help
