Answer:

The hypothesis is the suggested explanation for a phenomenon while the theory is based on facts or tested explanation.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a suggested explanation, an idea that is presented for argument so it can be tested to see if it is true. The hypothesis is made before any research has been done for it.

a theory is a prooved or tested, unifying, well-substantiated, explanation for a set of verified, proven factors. It is a factual prediction, but a hypothesis is a reasoned explanation.

Thus, the hypothesis is the suggested explanation for a phenomenon while the theory is based on facts or tested explanation.

Bacteria are prokaryotes that comprise a single cell with a basic internal composition. Bacteria are microscopic single-celled species, which live in different surroundings. Archaea are also prokaryotes, that is, devoid of the nucleus.
