Star brightness is defined by either D. apparent magnitude - when we measure it from Earth (that is how bright it is from Earth) - this is the closest to "basic observation" and the best answer

or by absolute magnitute - how bright it would be at a certain distance (this allows to compare the brightness).

The right answer is D.

The brightness of the star is measured by the size, which is distinguished in apparent and absolute. The apparent magnitude measures the brightness of the star perceived by the observer; it therefore depends on the real brightness of the star, the distance of the Earth and the atmosphere of the Earth has caused alterations (the view).

The absolute magnitude It is the magnitude that the star would have if it were at the distance of 10 parsecs (or 32.6 light years) from Earth (and it is closely related to the real brightness of the star).

What is required before a hypothesis advances to the status of a scientific theory ?

Vesna [10]

The hypothesis has to survive all attacks on it and continue to provide the best known explanation of the known data. In the scientific method, there are several steps towards the creation of a hypothesis and eventually a theory.
1. Gather data.
2. Construct a hypothesis that explains the data. This hypothesis should be capable of being disproved and should be capable of making predictions.
3. Gather more data. DO NOT cherry pick only that data which supports the hypothesis . If data is uncovered that contradicts the hypothesis , revise or replace the hypothesis.
4. After the hypothesis has survived all attacks on it and is the best known explanation of the data, then it becomes a theory.
5. Note, data collection continues after the hypothesis became a theory and if new data is discovered that is in conflict with the theory, then the theory is modified, or discarded in favor of a new hypothesis or theory.

Explain how chemiosmosis functions in the cell. Discuss the energy transfers and explain the role of ATP in this process.

Lyrx [107]

The energy for ATP synthesis comes from organic molecules (such as carbohydrates), or from sunlight, or from inorganic electron donors. We can classify organisms according to their source of energy and organic carbon:

heterotrophs – get energy and organic carbon from metabolism of pre-existing organic compounds (food)photoautotrophs – use energy from sunlight to make ATP and their own organic carbon compounds from carbon dioxide chemoautotrophs – use energy from inorganic chemicals to make ATP and their own organic carbon compounds from carbon dioxide

Metabolic pathways carry out reactions that capture energy from these various sources (organic compounds, sunlight or chemicals) and couple them to synthesis of ATP from ADP.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Cell level organization

Explanation:

Organisms are composed of different level of organizations like atomic level, molecular level, cell level, tissue level, organ level, system level after which whole organism if formed.

If we talk about Arachnoidiscus ehrenbergi it is one celled organism belonging to a group of algae. If we talk about human stomach it is an organ made up of several tissues which in-turn are made up of several cells.

So what is common in both?

It is a cell that is common in both, because cell is the basic unit for life of Arachnoidiscus ehrenbergi and a unit of the composition of whole stomach.

Hope it help!
