How is a scientific law different from a scientific theory?

Biology

nydimaria [60]3 years ago

Answer:

1. A theory is why something happens and a law is how something happens.

Explanation:

Whenever scientists or people studying scientific disciplines face any  scientific question, they try to solve it through proper scientific method. Two of the most important steps of scientific methods are to propose a theory as an answer of the question and after it formulate a law if it can be formed.

In simple terms we can think of a theory as an logical answer that why a certain phenomenon occurs. On the other hand a law is a statement that shows how a phenomenon occurs and it can help in predicting about the phenomenon. Laws are relatively general as compared to theory because theory is logical and well reasoned explanation about a certain happening.

A theory grows into a law when several group of people work on the same question and find same answer in such a way that it is universally approved. Theories can be revised after repeating experiment or condition however scientific law can never be proved wrong and it remains same.

For example: Darwin's theory called Neo- Darwinism in which he said that living organisms can be produced from non-living organism was disapproved by scientists after careful experimentation. It explained the  reasoning that why living organisms can be produced from non-living organisms however if it had been proved by all scientists it would become a law which just explains that how living organisms are produced from non living in a general one or two lines statement. For example: Newton's law of motion.

Hope it helps!

Temka [501]

Answer:

2Major Structures and Functions of the Brain

Publication Details

Outside the specialized world of neuroanatomy and for most of the uses of daily life, the brain is more or less an abstract entity. We do not experience our brain as an assembly of physical structures (nor would we wish to, perhaps); if we envision it at all, we are likely to see it as a large, rounded walnut, grayish in color.

This schematic image refers mainly to the cerebral cortex, the outermost layer that overlies most of the other brain structures like a fantastically wrinkled tissue wrapped around an orange. The preponderance of the cerebral cortex (which, with its supporting structures, makes up approximately 80 percent of the brain's total volume) is actually a recent development in the course of evolution. The cortex contains the physical structures responsible for most of what we call ''brainwork": cognition, mental imagery, the highly sophisticated processing of visual information, and the ability to produce and understand language. But underneath this layer reside many other specialized structures that are essential for movement, consciousness, sexuality, the action of our five senses, and more—all equally valuable to human existence. Indeed, in strictly biological terms, these structures can claim priority over the cerebral cortex. In the growth of the individual embryo, as well as in evolutionary history, the brain develops roughly from the base of the skull up and out ward. The human brain actually has its beginnings, in the four-week-old embryo, as a simple series of bulges at one end of the neural tube.
