How is a scientific law different from a scientific theory?
nydimaria [60]

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!

I will give you Brainliest if you answer this problem!
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Complete the following problems using the equation:

Students are not required to memorize this formula but must know the meaning of the symbols:

D = diversity index

N = total number of organisms of all species found

Σ = the sum of

n = number of individuals of a particular species

D is a measure of species richness. A high value of D suggests a stable and ancient site, and a low value of D could suggest pollution, recent colonization or agricultural management. The index is normally used in studies of vegetation but can also be applied to comparisons of animal (or even all species) diversity.

Example: A lake contains 934 brown trout, 733 smallmouth bass, 34 catfish, 2003 carp,

234 steelheads, and 32 northern pikes.

Fish

Number (n)

n(n-1)

Brown Trout

934

934 x (934-1) = 871422

Smallmouth Bass

733

733 x (732) = 536556

Catfish

34

34 x (33) = 1122

Carp

2003

2003 x (2002)=4010006

Steelheads

234

234 x (233)=54522

Northern Pike

32

32 x (31)=992

Total (N)

3970

= 5 474 620

= 3970 x 3969 = 15 756 930

D = = 2.88

Simpson’s Diversity Index – Practice Problems

When comparing two or more samples, the location with the larger D has a greater amount of diversity. Note that a higher total population does not indicate higher diversity.

An area of the Black Forest in Germany contains 134 pitch pines, 24 douglas firs, and 53 red pines.

A meadow contains 1532 chestnut oaks, 342 black cherry trees, 12 white ash trees, and 1022 yellow birches.

Your backyard contains 12 fleas, 34 aphids, 84 ants, 93 beetles, and 1 butterfly.

An African National Park contains 15 lions, 94 giraffes, 1000 wildebeests, 50 elephants, and 5 hyenas.

Mindo (a city in Ecuador) has 832 toucans, 392 red headed barbets, 3 golden headed quetzals, 500 tanagers, 899 parrots, and 50 white capped dippers.

Answer the following questions in your workbook:

Calculate Simpson’s diversity index for each location. Include the table in your workbook.

Distinguish the differences in diversity between two locations listed above.

Explain what may lead to those differences.

Outline the significance of the Simpson’s Diversity Index. You may refer to the following online resource and your textbook to help outline your ideas - http://www.countrysideinfo.co.uk/simpsons.htm

Which important biochemical process receives a supply of NAD+ ions from the fermentation process during anaerobic respiration?
sammy [17]

Answer:

Glycolysis.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is a universal process that provides energy in the form of ATP molecules. It requires two molecules of NAD+, which are reduced to NADH during glycolysis. Thus, regeneration of NAD+ is necessary as if NAD+ is absent, glycolysis cannot be able to continue.

During anaerobic respiration (respiration in the absence of oxygen), fermentation takes place to regenerate NAD+ used in the process of glycolysis.
