An egg farmer is experimetnting with different feed rations with the aim of increasing his production whilst reducing the cost of the feed per egg produced. The data from two feeding experiments is given below.

What are the independent variable in each of the two experiments?

A

`{:("Experiment 1",,"Experiment 2"),("Maximum daily egg production",,"Maximum daily egg production"):}`

B

`{:("Experiment 1",,"Experiment 2"),("Protein concentration in the feed",,"Total vitamin level in the feed"):}`

C

`{:("Experiment 1",,"Experiment 2"),("Total vitamin level the in the feed",,"Protein concentration in feed"):}`

D

`{:("Experiment 1",,"Experiment 2"),("Cost of feed ration per egg produced",,"Cost of feed ration per egg produced"):}`

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Variable used to an experiment can be dependent variables or independent variables. The 'dependent variable' represents the output or effect, or is tested to see if it is the effect. The 'independent variable' represents the inputs or causes, or are tested to see if it is the cause. Here, in experiment 1 protein concentration in the feed is independent variable while in experiment 2, total vitamin level in the feed is independent variable.

Study the given data and answer the questions that follow. A sample of an enzyme called lactase was isolated from the intestinal lining of a calf. Assays were undertaken to evaluate the activity of the enzyme sample. The substrate of lactase is the disaccharide lactose. Lactase breaks a lactose molecule in two, producing a glucose molecule and a galactose molecule. Two assays were carried out. {:("Lactose concentration (% w/v)",15,15,15,15,15,15),("Concentration of enzyme smaple (%v/v)",0,5,10,15,20,25),("Reaction rate "mu"mole glucose "sec^(-1)mL^(-1),0,25,50,75,100,125):} {:("Lactose concentration (% w/v)",0,5,10,15,25,30),("Concentration of enzyme smaple (%v/v)",5,5,5,5,5,5),("Reaction rate "mu"mole glucose "sec^(-1)mL^(-1),0,15,25,35,40,40):} What are the variables in each of the two assays ?
