It is so important in our everyday lives to be able to evaluate if a claim is truly scientifically reliable or not. Often, adver

tisements will claim to have “proven results”. Can you evaluate if this is a reliable claim or not?

What is their source? 
- they could be a part of a marketing scam 
- the key question is: how do they know? 
- <span> Who produced it and what background do they have?
- what other studies could the group have produced?</span>

Is the main point of the claim proven by evidence? 
- In order to figure out if something is reliable or not, you have to ask whether it makes sense and whether the conclusions were proven
- do the conclusions follow logically from what has been cited, or are they being drawn from evidence that doesn't support them at all? 

Do the sources have a bias? 
- That<span> doesn’t necessarily mean what they have to say isn’t reliable
- But think about whether they are a witness to facts or are just describing their opinion

What kind of substance facilitates the hydrogen bonding of nucleotides into a new dna molecule?
son4ous [18]
The hydrogen bonding of nucleotides into a new DNA molecule is facilitated by enzymes. Hydrogen bonding is the electromagnetic attraction between polar molecules in which hydrogen is bound to a larger atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen. The nucleotides in a base pair are complementary which means their shape allows them to bond together with hydrogen bonds. The A-T pairs forms two hydrogen bonds while the C-G pair forms three. The enzymes called DNA polymerases join the nucleotides by way of phosphodiester bonds.

Which statement best defines a protist?
Helga [31]
Protists obtain food in 3 ways. They produce their own organic molecules, ingest, and absorb.  Ingestive protists ingest food, or engulf bacteria. These protists extend their cell wall and cell membrane forming a food vacuole around the food item. Inside the food vacuole, enzymes digest the food. Absorptive protists on the other hand, absorb food molecules  across their cell membrane which takes place through diffusion. Absorptive protists play a key role in decomposition. They are considered as important decomposers. Major producers  like photosynthetic protists  use light energy to manufacture  their own food.<span>

What is one piece of evidence that some organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts within eukaryotes used to be independent p
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

organelles are very similar to present-day bacteria, suggesting a common ancestor.

Explanation:

Some evidence suggests that some organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts within eukaryotes were once used to be independent eukaryotes.

Endosymbiosis theory says that ancestral prokaryotic cells engulfed bacteria like cyanobacteria which with time evolved into mitochondria and chloroplast. Molecular evidence also proves that these organelles were once prokaryotic organisms because they show similar genetic makeup and ribosome type.

So these organelles are similar to present-day bacteria showing that they have a common ancestor.
