ANS
1.
for
valid
experiments,
data
should
be
collected
numerous
times
(the
more
times,
the
more
accurate)
2.
only
one
variable
(independent)
should
be
changed
in
an
experiment.
All
others
should
be
controlled.
The
deponent
variable
is
dependent
upon
what
you
changed-it
will
be
what
you
are
measuring
in

how
often

are
calculated,

etc.)
-what
is
the
amount
of
independent
variables
used?
pick
a

suitable
for
the

appropriate

-state

of
the

-state

-
ANS
-state

to

-state
the

-manipulate

by
finding

creating
or
working
with
graphs
-
ANS
-use
the
entire
graph
-correctly
label
the
x
and
y
axis
-use
correct
intervals.
do
not
use

to

each
interval
is
equally
spaced.
use
appropriate
scale
the
divide
the
total
number
of
spaces
on
the
graph
by
the
range.
this
will
give
you
your

-when
constructing
a
graph,
make
sure
your
scale
is
appropriate
to
show
a
relationship-you
may
need
to
have
values
on

ANS
remember
that

symbiosis
and
mutualism

it
is
a
close
relationship
between
2
different

where
both
benefit.
make

have
low

second,
give

extreme
environments
-
ANS
have
a
low

low

-extreme

-hydrothermal

are

unstable
environments
-

-sandy

there
is

-organsims

they
are
also
exposed

organisms
must

biodiversity
-
ANS
areas
of

biodiversity
have
a
narrow

because
if
niches
overlap,
