Answer:

A scientific question is a question that may lead to a hypothesis and help us in answering (or figuring out) the reason for some observation. Asking a scientific question is a part of the scientific method (which includes making an observation, asking the question, forming a hypothesis, testing it and accepting/rejecting/modifying the hypothesis). A good scientific question has certain characteristics. It should have some answers (real answers), should be testable (i.e. can be tested by someone through an experiment or measurements), leads to a hypothesis that is falsifiable (means it should generate a hypothesis that can be shown to fail), etc. For example, an observation that a passing car makes a lot of noise can prompt someone to ask "if there is some correlation between the speed of the car and the noise it generates", which can result in a hypothesis that at higher speeds more noise is generated. This can be tested by driving a car and measuring the noise level and these results can help us accept or reject or modify the hypothesis.

If a plant cell completes the cell cycle in 24 hour, how many cells will be produced in 5 days ?

Andru [333]

Answer:

The correct answer is 128 cells

Explanation:

Given: 1 complete cell cycle takes 24 hours. It means 1 plant cell divides into 2 cells in 24 hours. Thus, number of hours in one week will be:

24 x 7 days = 168 hours, if one cell cycle takes 24 hours, then in 168 hours there will be 7 cell cycles.

So, first cell cycle will results into 2 cells and both these cells will divide and will results into 4 cells and then after third division it will 8 cells and so on..

Therefore, at the end of 7th division there will be 128 cells.
