When scientists have made many observations and collected existing data, they suggest a possible explanation for what they have

seen and recorded. this explanation, called a hypothesis, is a statement that both explains their observations and data and can be tested. hypothesizing is a very important step in scientific investigations. a statement is testable if evidence can be collected that either supports or disproves it. a hypothesis may be shown to be wrong, but it can never be proved true beyond all doubt. it can only be supported by evidence. at any time, new data might indicate that a previously accepted hypothesis does not hold true in all instances. scientists often must refine and revise their original hypotheses—or even discard them—as they uncover new evidence. to test a hypothesis, scientists make a prediction that logically follows from the hypothesis. a prediction is a statement made in advance that states the results that will be obtained from testing a hypothesis, if the hypothesis is true. a prediction most often takes the form of an “if-then” statement. a hypothesis is often tested by carrying out an experiment. experimenting is the process of testing a hypothesis and its predictions by gathering data under controlled conditions.

Answer:

Hypothesis, controlled conditions, "if then" statement, scientific investigation, observation.

Explanation:

Hypothesis: An idea proposed for an argument to be tested if it's true.

Controlled Conditions: An experiment that doesn't manipulate the independent variable.

If then statements: These sentences present situations and their outcomes.

Scientific Investigation: A plan for asking questions and testing possible answers.

A mutation that results in a single amino acid substitution in Ras abolishes its ability to hydrolyze GTP, even when GTPase-acti
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The new drug will not be effective against the treatment of cancer.

Explanation:

The drug will not be effective against the cancer treatment because the drug will inhibit the dimerization of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) but as the Ras has undergone mutation due to replacement of one amino acid, it will be constitutively expressed and the drug is not effective in stopping the Ras functioning.

Thus, Gefitinib cannot work against the cancerous cell as it is not potent to stop the functioning of mutant Ras protein.

PLEASE HELP ME <br> What are the steps to photosynthesis
RoseWind [281]

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, molecules in leaves capture sunlight and energize electrons, which are then stored in the covalent bonds of carbohydrate molecules. That energy within those covalent bonds will be released when they are broken during cell respiration. How long lasting and stable are those covalent bonds? The energy extracted today by the burning of coal and petroleum products represents sunlight energy captured and stored by photosynthesis almost 200 million years ago.

Plants, algae, and a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria are the only organisms capable of performing photosynthesis. Because they use light to manufacture their own food, they are called photoautotrophs (“self-feeders using light”). Other organisms, such as animals, fungi, and most other bacteria, are termed heterotrophs (“other feeders”) because they must rely on the sugars produced by photosynthetic organisms for their energy needs. A third very interesting group of bacteria synthesize sugars, not by using sunlight’s energy, but by extracting energy from inorganic chemical compounds; hence, they are referred to as chemoautotrophs.
