B. Analyze the results.
-There are six steps in the scientific process. The
results of step four must be analyzed before reach- ing
the final step. "Develop a conclusion."
B. Quantitative data is more accurate than qualita- tive
data.
The two types of measurement important in sci- ence
are qualitative (When a numerical result is used) and
qualitative (when descriptions or quali- ties are
reported).
-Qualitative data is collected through observation and
interviews, and focuses on the informant's be- havior
and perspectives.

-The trachea (windpipe) is cylindrical
portion of the reparatory tract that joins
the larynx with the lungs.
-The esophagus connects the throat and the
stom- ach. When a person swallows, the
esophagus con- tracts to force the food down
into the stomach. The esophagus secretes
mucus for lubrication.
