A group of scientists want to observe the adaptation of a foreign fish species in a river ecosystem. To do this, they want to enclose the top and sides of a section of a river to block light and matter from entering the area. Evaluate whether this experimental system is an isolated system. Justify your answer based on the definition of an isolated system.

Two students are working together on an experiment that measures the effect of different liquid fertilizers on the thickness of plants’ stems. which is most likely to result in the greatest amount of error in their scientific experiment? a.one student measures the plant stem widths by using calipers. the other student measures the widths of the same plant stems again by using a different pair of calipers. b.one student measures the plant stem widths by using calipers. the other student types the measurements as they are taken into a computer spreadsheet. c.one student weighs liquids for the experiment by using a calibrated scale. the other student weighs liquids for the experiment by using a different calibrated scale.
