Why is a theory called a theory and not a fact?

Biology

Many theories can never be proven. 
Here are a few examples:

-- The moon orbits the Earth.
-- Gravity pulls all masses toward each other.
-- The Earth orbits the sun.
-- Everything is made of atoms and molecules.
-- Atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
-- Electrons moving through a wire make electric current.
-- The center of the Earth is molten iron and nickel.
-- The source of the sun's energy is nuclear fusion in its core.
-- Almost all galaxies are moving away from us.
-- The universe is expanding.

None of these statements can be proven.  That's why they're not called
Facts or Laws. 

It also tells you that some pretty powerful stuff has been done with concepts
that can't be proven.  If you want to make an idea look foolish, that doesn't
happen when you say "it's only a theory".

Which statement best describes the evolutionary significance of mutualism?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

C) Interaction increases the survival and reproductive rates of mutualistic species.

Explanation:

A) Mutualism offer more biodiversity to a community.

    Biodiversity is the different species living in one environment. Since mutualism is only involving two species, it wouldn't increase the biodiversity of one ecosystem, making it incorrect.

B) Individuals partaking in a mutualistic relationship relationship are more resistant to parasites.

    Mutualism is only benefiting two species, not their immunity to diseases and parasites. These two have no correlation with each other, making it incorrect.

D) Mutualistic interaction lessens competition in communities where it is present.

    Since mutualism is only benefiting two species, they have no correlation since the relationship doesn't affect the different species in the environment.

E) Mutualistic relationships allow organisms to synthesize and use energy more efficiently.

    Although there could be some relationships involving energy transfer between the species, that would sound more like commensalism or even paratsitism if you think about it. However, it is very uncommon and usually energy has no relationship with species relationships, making it incorrect.

Hope this helps! My deepest apologies if I got in incorrect!
