Food Required for each organism to survive (From the presentation)

Question

Black beads Pink beads White beads
Gorilla 20 9 2
Sloth 0 4 4

During the 1 minute season, you will use your tool (representing your first organism) to pick up as
many beans as possible.
● At the end of the season, sort your beans and type the number of the bean color in the
appropriate box for that season.
Repeat this process for the second organism for Season 1; and then start over and repeat the
process again for both organisms for Season 2.
● At the end of 4 minutes you should have all 6 boxes filled out, in addition to the names of
your two organisms.

Go to the “Data Collection” section of the lab report. Look at the first table (“Food Required for each organism to survive”) and the second table (“Simulation Data Collected”). Based on this information, was the student’s response to discussion question #1 correct? (See the response in the “Discussion” section at the bottom of the lab report) (1 point) Responses Yes, the answer and the reason was correct. Yes, the answer and the reason was correct. The answer was correct, but the reason was not correct. The answer was correct, but the reason was not correct. No, the answer and the reason were both incorrect. No, the answer and the reason were both incorrect. The answer was incorrect, but the reason was correct.

Answer 1

To determine if the student's response to discussion question #1 was correct, you need to compare the food requirements of the organisms (Gorilla and Sloth) with the simulation data collected in terms of how many of each color bean they were able to gather during the simulation.

1. Gorilla Requirements:

   • Black beads: 20
   • Pink beads: 9
   • White beads: 2

2. Sloth Requirements:

   • Black beads: 0
   • Pink beads: 4
   • White beads: 4

You would need to analyze the data that was collected during the simulation and see if the number of beans collected fulfills the requirements for each organism.

• If the quantities of beans collected meet or exceed the requirements for each organism, the answer to the discussion question would likely be yes.
• If the collected beans do not meet the requirements, you need to assess whether the reasoning behind the student's conclusion was correct.

Based on the data, the appropriate response to the discussion question can be derived:

• If both the answer and justification align with the data collected (e.g., the Gorilla collected enough of each color bean to survive), then the answer is "Yes, the answer and the reason was correct."
• If the answer aligns but the reasoning does not (e.g., the Gorilla did not collect enough beans, but there was faulty reasoning given), respond with "The answer was correct, but the reason was not correct."
• Continue this analysis for both the answer and reasoning based on the simulation results.

Without access to the simulation data collected during the experiment, I cannot definitively determine the correctness of the student's response. You will need to fill in those details in terms of how many beans were collected to make the final assessment about whether to select one of the response options provided.
