Ques for Bio P6

[Dean713]

i have a question for the bio p6. how do u know which of the variables to use for the x-axis and the y-axis for the gragh questions? for eg if given values for time and temperature which axis to use for teperature and which axis to use for time?

 

[medo]

time will be on x axis and temprature on y axis

 

[shawkat]

why

 

[larina]

time on x-axis and temperature on y-axis
temperature/light intensity/ pH/ carbondioxde concentration ect appears on the y-axis cus they vary with time

 

[shawkat]

but why

 

[Dean713]

i found out the answer. the x-axis is the independent variable bcuz it does not depend on anything and y-axis is the deendent variable bcuz it depends on the x-axis. x-axis the values are constant throughout and the y-axis the values are not. so time on x-axis and temperature on y-axis bcuz temperature varies but time would remain constant like 20sec 30sec etc while temp would vary like 37,44,68 etc...

 

[medo]

what do we mean by Gene Therapy? What are the applications of that in our daily life/

 

[kalazooni]

the first coloumn is always the x axis!

@ medo
gene therapy is an application of genetic engineering which treats disorders (eg cyctic fibrosis) by the insertion of favourable genes into carriers such as viruses. such viruses infect the human cells and reproduce the healthy gene, without causing illness.

The X-axis is the variable that you're testing for.
for example, if you're given PH and time for enzyme activity. PH will be x-axis, time will be on the Y.
