Why what we know about cells is called a theory and not a law

Biology

Afina-wow [57]3 years ago

The term "law" is a historical relic going back to Newtonian times, when after Newton's development of classical mechanics, it was thought that the workings of the universe were directly analagous to a perfectly constructed and perfectly predictable clockwork. That was turned on its head as a result of quantum mechanics, and modern scientists typically avoid use of the term "law" anymore because it is too dogmatic. Newton's "Laws" are still called that mainly for historical reasons now. What used to be called laws are now called theories.

Which reaction best explains why carbon is able to from macromolecules ?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Carbon can bond with many elements

Explanation:

Carbon can bond with many elements, including itself, to form macromolecules. Moreover, it can form four bonds, and that makes possible many different arrangements of the atoms in the molecules.

A is <em>wron</em>g. Carbon is among the seven smallest elements in the Periodic Table.

C is <em>wrong</em>. Carbon is found in living things because it can form macromolecules, not the other way around.

D is <em>wrong</em>. Carbon can bond with many other elements beside itself.
