The right answer is A. Hardness.

The hardness of a material defines the resistance of a surface of the sample to the penetration of a punch, for example a hardened steel ball (Brinell hardness) or a diamond pyramid (Vickers hardness). If it resists well, it is said hard, otherwise it is soft. The hardness is measured on different scales depending on the type of material considered.

Unlike minerals whose hardness is characterized by scratching (Mohs scale), bounce or penetration tests are usually used to characterize the hardness of metals, plastics and elastomers. These tests have the advantage of being simpler to perform and give reproducible results. There is a wide variety of possible hardness tests, they are widely used in quality control to compare or estimate the strength or stiffness of materials.

In the following table, label each statement as true (T) or false (F). If the statement is false, rewrite it so that it is true.
iren [92.7K]
1) False. Scientists may predict something but realize a difference soon after before the test, so they could definitely change the hypothesis if they want. It’s only AFTER the experiment they cannot. Because a hypothesis is like a “guess” as to what’s going to happen, right?

2) False. A hypothesis can’t be “valid” because it’s literally a prediction.

3) True. Especially if you’re doing a chemistry lab, it’s really important things are done in order or else the product might result as something else you were expecting, or can be very dANGEROUS

4) True. The conclusion must be based on data because it’s the observation that was seen.

Hope this helps!! I could have answered in short form but I just wanted to make them understandable:)

What organelle has this function, "hard outer-covering, provides strength and support to cell membrane"?
pantera1 [17]
If you're talking about eukaryotic cells then it's the cell wall. If it's a prokaryotic cell sometimes the slime layer secreted by some bacteria may harden and form a capsule around the bacterial cell.

Hope i helped!
