Summary Introduction
To determine: The goal of Shahid Naeem and colleagues experiment at Silwood Park, England.
Introduction: Ecosystem is defined as the interaction between the living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) components present in the environment. These interactions are important for the proper flow of nutrients and energy in a system. Different organisms of the ecosystem contribute in a different way and presence or absence of any one species have a great effect on the functioning of the ecosystem.

Question:- The required dose of chromic oxide (10 g)
is impregnated on cellulose or paper, and enclosed it
in a gelatin capsule and administered to the
experimental animals. The preliminary period should
be at least 10 days and collection period should be 7
days. Collect at least 50 grab samples of faeces
from each animal. To overcome diurnal variation,
collect randomly in the pasture or pen. If more than
one animal is in a pasture, coloured polyethylene
particles may be administered to the animals so that
the faeces may be distinguished from one animal to
another. Diets and faeces samples of individual
lambs were dried separately at 60°C. Chromic oxide
was estimated in the diet and faeces samples.
Based on the data give below calculate the apparent
digestibility when chromic oxide was administrated
according to the situation given above.

- I recived 16/20 on this portion of my assigment. My professor said "Right idea, use Lineweaver-Burk to calculate the new KM and Vmax and compare to the originals. Should be noncomp (Vmax changes, but not KM). For part b, good based on above answer." Please help me understand this problem ebtter by re-do, re-explain, re-calculate the answer below base on the comment made. And be sure to adjust any other answers that were affected by your corrections. For example,Part B is base on Part A answer.arrow_forwardMethods should be 4-5 paragraphs long. Describe the exact set-up of the experiment to a Brassica rapa plant for a lighting experiment with natural sunlight and artificial lighting including how many plants you started with, what the seeds were planted in, if anything was added to the environment, etc. Describe in detail how to measure the Brassica rapa. Describe the variables that were held constant. Specifically, address the difference between the control groups versus experimental groups and how exactly you applied an independent variable which is the duration of light exposure of the Brassica rapa to the experimental group members. Quantify the independent variable.arrow_forwardDescribe the role of the “surprise” protocol in the experimentaldesign.arrow_forward
