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

Biology

Afina-wow [57]3 years ago
7 0
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.

Describe the importance of biomes such as forests, freshwater, and marine biomes? How have human actions affected these biomes?
Allisa [31]

Forest biome:  It gives us medicinal plants, woods for commercial purpose. Forests provides us rubber and fibers that is very important for the industries for making various products. They also contribute to perform ecological  functions such as carbon storage, nutrient cycling, water and air purification. It also provides habitat to the wildlife.

Freshwater biome:  We use fresh water for drinking water, irrigation, sanitation systems, and in industrial factories. Water used from groundwater, rivers and lakes is regained by rain and snowfall.

Marine biome:  It serves huge amount of oxygen into the environment and absorbs the atmospheric carbon dioxide.

As a result of the activity of human there is a significant decrease in the number of trees. The products now used are synthetically made which were made up of natural fibers previously. The water source such as rivers, lakes, and ponds are polluted due to which many water borne diseases are increasing day by day. The accumulation of waste which are found in marine biome are reducing the number of flora present inside marine ecosystem.
