How is a scientific law different from a scientific theory?

Biology
1 answer:
nydimaria [60]3 years ago
4 0

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!

3. jack is using plastic beads to model water molecules in each state of water. how shoule she the beads to represent water mole
just olya [345]

Jack should arrange the beads close together and slide past each other to represent water molecules in a liquid.

<h3>How are the molecules of water arranged when water is in its liquid phase?</h3>
  • Each water molecule contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen, arranged such that one side of the molecule (nearest the hydrogens) is positively charged while the other side (nearest the oxygen) is negatively charged.
  • They’re arranged randomly, and in random motion.
  • In fact, they’re not even keeping the same hydrogen atoms, as they are constantly popping off and reforming on the nanosecond time scale.

American vultures used to be classified in the same family as African vultures. Which discovery caused scientists to reclassify
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

DNA evidence revealed the American vultures share more recent ancestor with the Storks

Explanation:

The hooded vultures that is mostly found in the African continent have a close resemblance with the American vultures and were traditionally classified to belong to the Falcon family.

However, it was observed that the American vultures shared a similar behavior with Stork which is not common to the vulture found in Africa, including the hooded vulture. The Stork and the American vulture exhibit the behavior of urinating on their legs when being overheated. When the urine gets evaporated, it helps them to cool their body temperature.

This shared behavior between the storks and the American vultures led scientists into using molecular analysis in analyzing the DNA of the hooded vultures found in Africa, the American vultures, and the stork.

Evidence from the DNA analysis later revealed that the American vultures and the storks share a more common DNA sequences than African vultures and American vultures do.
