Question continued

For each statement below, mark "True" if it would be a valid hypothesis, based on these three observations alone, and mark "False" if it would not be a valid hypothesis.

1. The onion cells I looked at have a nucleus.

2. All onion cells have a nucleus.

3. All cells have a nucleus.

4. Some cells have a nucleus.

5. Only onion cells have a nucleus.

6. If I look at 10 skin cells from my hand, each one will have a nucleus.

Answer:

1. The onion cells I looked at have a nucleus. false - this is not a hypothesis, it is an observation of the evidence you collected.

2. All onion cells have a nucleus. true - this is a valid hypothesis based on the evidence you have gathered from looking at onions

3. All cells have a nucleus. true  - this is a hypothesis based on you looking at 3 cell types, several samples of each, and finding that they all have a nucleus

4. Some cells have a nucleus. false - this is not a valid hypothesis. Your evidence so far suggests all cells have a nucleus

5. Only onion cells have a nucleus. - false, you know this to be false as other cell types you analysed had a nucleus

6. If I look at 10 skin cells from my hand, each one will have a nucleus. false - a hypothesis is supposed to be a general principle that is backed up by evidence, this is too specific.

1. cell membranes are partialy permeable, only allowing passage to some certain molecules.

2. diffusion is the movement of molecules across partially permeable membrane down concentration gradient.

3. the molecules are too big to pass through partially permeable membrane. the concentration of the molecule might be higher in the cell than in the solution/surroundings.
