RESEARCH STUDY 9.1: Dr. Fаrаh is аn educatiоnal psychоlоgist who is interested in studying the potential causal relationship between doing homework and academic achievement. In January, Dr. Farah has her students report their fall GPA (a measure of academic achievement) and estimate how many hours they spent doing homework during a typical week in the fall semester. In May, Dr. Farah measures the same variables again (the estimated number of hours spent doing homework during a typical week in the spring semester and their spring GPA). She finds the following correlations: Variable A Variable B Correlation Coefficient Correlation 1 Fall number of hours of homework Fall semester GPA .83* Correlation 2 Fall number of hours of homework Spring number of hours of homework .36* Correlation 3 Fall number of hours of homework Spring semester GPA .69* Correlation 4 Fall semester GPA Spring number of hours of homework .18 Correlation 5 Fall semester GPA Spring semester GPA .45* Correlation 6 Spring number of hours of homework Spring semester GPA .80* *Indicates a statistically significant relationship. Based on her pattern of correlations, which of the following can Dr. Farah safely conclude?
In the beаker shоwn belоw, а simple phоspholipid bilаyer separates two solutions. These solutions contain the same solute dissolved in water, at two different concentrations. The solute is represented by black circles. Imagine that you perform an experiment in which you leave the beaker unattended on a lab bench and then re-examine it later. a) (5 points) If the solute dissolved in the water is glucose, what will change during the course of your experiment? Briefly explain what change/s will occur and why. b) (4 points) What is one example of a different solute that would give a different result in this experiment? Explain briefly what properties would cause that solute to behave differently. c) (5 points) What are three ways you can increase the permeability of a phospholipid bilayer, without adding proteins? Make sure to answer all parts of the question and label the parts for the grader to identify each individually.
