7 0

Answer:

The hypothesis refers to the proposed or suggested explanation for any observed phenomenon. It provides the starting point for scientific investigation after which experiments are designed and performed in order to pass or fail the hypothesis.  

In contrast, a theory refers to a set of principles which are well supported by scientific experiments, pieces of evidence, and observations.

Answer:

A theory is an explanation that why something occurs while the hypothesis is a prediction or guess about what will happen.

A theory is a conclusion that is given after many experiments while a hypothesis is an idea that is given before an experiment that what will happen as a result experiment.

The periodic theory explains that elements would repeat their properties repeatedly. The theory also made a hypothesis that certain elements would be discovered.

What gas is a reactant in cellular respiration
pochemuha

Answer:

Explanation: Although cellular respiration has multiple parts, the basic chemical equation is:

Answer: Oxygen

Explanation: Oxygen + Glucose (sugar) = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP)

This equation is often broken into two parts, the reactants and the products. Reactants are the molecules that begin cellular respiration, in this case that would be oxygen and glucose. Products are what forms during cellular respiration. Here, the products are carbon dioxide, water, and energy. As the focus of this lesson is on the reactants of cellular respiration, oxygen and glucose, let's take a look at those.

Reactants--

The first reactant in the equation for cellular respiration is oxygen. Most people are familiar with oxygen since it's the primary gas needed for sustaining our lives. We obtain oxygen by simply breathing. Oxygen is highly reactive and therefore perfectly suited for driving chemical reactions such as cellular respiration. However, people may be less familiar with the second reactant in our respiration equation: glucose.

The table below shows the number of the sub-atomic particles in an atom of nitrogen.
oee [108]

Answer:

14amu

Explanation:

Given subatomic particles:

  Number of protons  = 7

  Number of Neutrons  = 7

  Number of electrons  = 7

Unknown:

Atomic mass unit; amu of nitrogen

Solution:

The atomic mass unit of a substance is the number of protons and neutrons in such an atom;

     Atomic mass unit  = number of protons + number of neutrons

This is because the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus;

   For the given specie;

        Atomic mass unit  = 7 + 7 = 14amu

You have a cup of beans in front of you with 20 white beans and 20 red beans. (You can also use candy, buttons, or coins). These
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Number 3

Explanation:

Dominant: 20, Recessive: 20

An allele is the alternative of a gene. On his case, these beans represent the alleles for a simple Mendelian trait, where red is dominant (R) and white is recessive (r).

As states earlier there are 20 red beans (20 dominant alleles) and 20 white beans (20 recessive beans) and each beach represent an allele.
