- 47. Multiple ChoiceCarmen conducted an experiment to determine if listening to different types of music would affect a person’s pulse. Her hypothesis was that pulse rate would change with different types of music. Each person listened to seven different selections of music for 30 seconds each. Each person’s pulse was taken before the music and then after each 30-second interval of music. The pulses were taken again after the music selections were completed. Based on her experiment, Carmen concluded that a person’s pulse rate changed when the person listened to different types of music. Which component is missing from Carmen’s experiment?a questiona hypothesisa control groupa description of the experiment
- 48. Multiple ChoiceAn osmosis investigation was conducted using chicken eggs to represent cells with semipermeable membranes.

Based on this experiment, which of the following should be inferred about cells with semipermeable membranes?Substances other than water may also cross the cell membrane.Substances other than water may block pores in the cell membrane.Water enters the cell when placed in environments of high water concentration.Water leaves the cell when placed in environments with a low concentration of solutes

The participants in the experiment were all the same age, and they were all given the same amount of soda. The dependent variable in this experiment is thetype of soda given to each groupamount of soda given to each grouppulse rate of each groupage of participants in each group
