Julie estimates she saw 40 ducks on a pond What is the smallest number of ducks Julie saw?
The smallest number would be 35. When giving an estimate 5 and above would go to the next higher set of tens, and 4 and lower would go to the lower set of tens, thus making an estimate of 40 the lowest possible would be 35.
How long are dolphins when full grown?
A full grown dolphin's length would be 7ft but there are some that have as long as up to 12ft. An estimate of weight would be around 450-600 pounds.
Would a stallion accept a gelding in a herd?
Some do, some don't. I would introduce him to the stallion slowly, put his pen next to the pasture, see how the stallion reacts over a few weeks, and make sure the gelding doesn't seem to want to dominate the stud (that will not end well). Lots of observation.
How many gallons are in 40 lbs of cat litter?
Gallons is a liquid measurement and pounds are a solid measurement. A close estimate would be almost five gallons.
What system is most important for helping an organism sense its surroundings?
This question has no set answer, as the answer varies from organism to organism, this answer also, is opinion, as all current senses exist as a result of a meshed system of observation, to claim any one of these is more important then another would be to state an opinion
What are direct observations?
Direct observation is an observation made by using your senses (hear, see, touch, taste, feel). In this case, the observer records directly what that are seeing. Contrary, an indirect observation is an observation made by observing the effects on the present surrounding. In this case, the observer would use the recordings of others (including self observation). In other words, what you can see directly versus what you can infer from another observation. Direct observation, as an example, would be seeing a dog and observing that he is there. Indirect observation, as an example, would be seeing the dog's paw prints in the snow and observing that he had been there.
What is the difference between indirect and direct observations?
Direct observation is an instance in which you use one of your senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing, to experience an event that happened in your presence. An indirect observation is basically the opposite of a direct observation in that you observe something after it has happened. Example of a direct observation would be seeing a burning fire, feeling its warmth and smelling the fumes. Or perhaps your eyes get watery from the smoke. The indirect observation would be coming upon an empty campsite and seeing the burnt logs and ashes.
Definition of direct observation?
Direct observation means looking at it with your own two eyes, feeling it with your fingers (or other body parts), directly hearing it with your ears or directly tasting it with your tongue. Indirect observation means not sensing the object of observation directly but by observing the effects it has on its surroundings. An example of indirect observation might be seeing footprints in the snow and using this as evidence that snow leopards are in the area. Direct observation would be seeing the leopard itself.
What does indirect observation mean?
The members of a population may be small or hard to find. Indirect observation is when it would be easier to observe what the animals left behind, like a nest or tracks, rather than the organism themselves. Ex: If there are 120 nests in an area, you can find the number of swallows by multiplying 120 by , or 480 swallows.
Are ecologist and environmentalist the same?
Broadly speaking yes. The difference would be that generally we would say that the ecologist has a career and the environmentalist supports a movement.
Where would an ecologist work?

Which observation would provide indirect evidence that supports a hypothesis that the bubbles are O2?

What is a person called who studies habitats?
A person who studies animals and the way they interact with their environment is both an ecologist and a zoologist. Ecologists study the interactions of organisms within their environment, while a zoologist studies animals.
Where would an ecologist find the most phytoplankton in the lake?
