G. No; as the ink concentration increased, the average number of ICVs decreased.
H. Yes; as the ink concentration increased, the average number of ICVs increased.
J. Yes; as the ink concentration increased, the average number of ICVs decreased.
17. Prior to the experiment, with which of the following statements about the effect of ink concentration on ICV formation would both Students 2 and 3 have been likely to agree?
A. Increases and, thus, the more frequently they will be stimulated to form an ICV.
B. Decreases and, thus, the less frequently they will be stimulated to form an ICV.
C. Decreases and, thus, the more frequently they will be stimulated to form an ICV.
D. Increases and, thus, the less frequently they will be stimulated to form an ICV.
18. Prior to the experiment, for which temperature—22°C or 30°C—would Student 1 most likely have predicted that Tetrahymena would, on average, produce the greatest number of ICVs?
F. 22°C, because the plasma membrane of Tetrahymena would be more flexible at 22°C than at 30°C.
G. 22°C, because the plasma membrane of Tetrahymena would be less flexible at 22°C than at 30°C.
H. 30°C, because the plasma membrane of Tetrahymena would be more flexible at 30°C than at 22°C.
J. 30°C, because the plasma membrane of Tetrahymena would be less flexible at 30°C than at 22°C.

G. Student 2 only
H. Students 3 and 4 only
J. None of the students
