magnification is the ability to make things larger they they actually are by taking the lens from a microscope or by just using a microscope and magnifying the object.
Water has no ability to neutralize either acids or bases, it can only dilute them.
Plant height and yielding ability are quantitative variables and can be tested statistically as purely due to genetic or environmental reasons.
No, an independent variable is one that is intentionally manipulated by the researcher to observe its effect on the dependent variable. A variable that changes outside of the participants' control would typically be considered an extraneous variable that could potentially influence the results of the study.
1) An environment that allows more than one program to access the same set of variable. 2) The ability of a program to "sleep" until it can have (access) a varible. 3) The ability of a program to block other programs from having (accessing) a variable. Dead Lock example: Program GoodGosh and GoshDarn both access variables A and B by "Locking" the variables, doing some processing, and then releasing the variables. Both variables have to be obtained and locked before further processing and unlocking can occur. While processing, Program GoodGosh acquries a lock on variable A and then attempts to acqure a lock on Varable B. Before GoodGosh can acquire variable B, Program GoshDarn acqures a lock on variable B. GoodGosh want B and owns A. GoshDarn owns A and wants B. Neither can process further until the other releases a variable. Deadlock now exists. Note: To prevent deadlocks, all modules/programs that access the same set of variables should always acquire the variables in the same order.

In order to conclusively prove or disprove something. i.e an uncontrolled experiment will have so many variables that nothing can be conclusively proven from it, since it could be argued that the outcome could have been caused by any of the uncontrolled variables. Whereas by controlling some of the variables, the ability to prove that one variable links to a certain outcome is easier to establish.
In an experiment usually variables are controlled except for the independent variable. This one variable is changed and the dependent variable is read or observed. It becomes very hard to determine the effect of the independent variable if two variables are allowed to change and dependent variable observed because there is no way of easily determining the effect of the independent variable.When scientists are checking the impact of drugs or a social initiative on humans they will say "all other factors like age, gender, income etc have been eliminated/ adjusted/ controlled" except for this one factor ie the social initiative eg the effect on reading ability of teenagers of teaching children to know their letters before school age or the effect of marijuana use on income etc.
Some relationship management skills include the ability to negotiate, the ability to communicate and the ability to be direct. With these skills you can easily manager your relationship with your customers.
An enzyme is a catalyst for chemical reactions. Three variables that can cause an enzyme to lose its ability to function are temperature, pH level and concentration.

One of the vital parts of the scientific method, is its predictive ability - its ability to predict a behaviour beyond that presently observed. By changing the variable we obtain a new data point, whose validity we may prove by experiment. Otherwise all we have is a single (or just a few) casual observations.
