Explain the difference between a hypothesis and a theory.

Biology
2 answers:
Mekhanik [1.2K]3 years ago

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.

joja [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is - B) Elysia Chlorotica grows when exposed to light in the absence of other food sources

Explanation:

If placing Elysia Chlorotica in presence of the food sources in the presence or absence of light it still grows as normal. However, if placing in the light in absence of the food sources it should not grow if it is not able to perform photosynthesis but it does which means there is a photosynthesis process also involve in the Elysia.

Photosynthesis is the process that involves the production of energy and nutrition in presence of light with water and atmospheric carbon dioxide.

State the major processes of the urinary system and describe the activity of each process.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The urinary system removes excess substances and waste products from the metabolism from the body through the urine, contributing to the maintenance of homeostasis, the chemical composition of the internal environment. Urine is produced in the kidneys, passes through the ureters to the bladder, where it is stored and is released into the exterior through the urethra.

The kidneys perform the main work of the urinary system comparing with the other parts of the system, acting primarily as passageways and storage areas. With the filtration of blood and the formation of urine, the kidneys contribute to homeostasis of body fluids in a number of ways, such as: Regulation of the ionic composition of blood; Maintenance of blood osmolarity; Regulation of blood volume; Blood pressure regulation; PH regulation of blood; Hormone release; Regulation of blood glucose level; Waste excretion and toxic substances.

Ureters - They are two tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The ureters are capable of performing rhythmic contractions called peristalsis. Urine moves along the ureters in response to gravity and peristalsis.

Bladder - The urinary bladder acts as a temporary reservoir for urine storage. It is a hollow, elastic muscular organ that in men is directly anterior to the rectum and in women, is located in front of the vagina and below the uterus.

Urethra - is a tube that conducts urine from the bladder to the outside, being lined with mucosa that contains a large amount of mucus-secreting glands. The urethra opens outwards through the outer ostium of the urethra.
