I observe that squirrels that live in the southeastern United States are much thinner than squirrels that live in the northeaste

rn part of the country. I theorize that this is because the squirrels that live in the northeast have greater fat reserves for the winter months when food is scarce. Is this a scientific theory?

Answer:

No, it is not a scientific theory.

Explanation:

  • A scientific theory is a proposition that is made to explain the various phenomena that are occurring in nature and it is supported by experiments that have repeatability and well-analyzed results.
  • Scientific theories are usually tested in experiments under controlled conditions and verified as well.
  • In the given situation, the theory made by the observer is not being tested through any experimentation or quantification and therefore, it is just a hypothesis and not a scientific theory.

An animal cell with a 30% salt solution is placed in a beaker with a 20% salt
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

the animal cell will burst

Explanation:

If the salt solution in the animal cell is 30%, it means the water is at a 70% concentration. Outside is 20%, so the water is 80%.

Water will enter the cell. Water is at a higher concentration outside the cell (80%) or a lower concentration inside the cell (70%) by the process of osmosis.

Eventually, the animal cell will burst, because it does not have any cell wall to control the swelling of the cell that occurs as water flows in.
