Chapter 56: Q5TYU (page 1258)

Which of the following statements best distinguishes hypotheses from theories in science?

a. Theories are hypotheses that have been proved.

b. Hypotheses are guesses; theories are correct answers.

c. Hypotheses usually are relatively narrow in scope; theories have broad explanatory power.

d. Theories are proved true; hypotheses are often contradicted by experimental results.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The option 鈥渢heories are hypotheses that have been proved鈥� is false.
  2. The option 鈥渉ypotheses are guesses; theories are correct answers鈥� is false.
  3. The option 鈥渉ypotheses usually are relatively narrow in scope; theories have broad explanatory power鈥� is true.
  4. The option 鈥淭heories are proved true; hypotheses are often contradicted by experimental results鈥� is false.

Step by step solution

01

Explanation of option “a”

The theory is the most common approach present in science. The untested speculation is present in the concept of science which is otherwise referred to as a theory. The theory is not the hypothesis since it has only untested beliefs.

Thus, the theory is different from hypotheses, and hypotheses are not proven concepts.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

02

Explanation of option “b”

Hypotheses are the guesses or predictions made in scientific concepts. These are testable conditions. But theories are not always tested or correct concepts. They are confirmed with the help of evidence.

Thus, the theories are not always correct.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

03

Explanation of option “c”

Hypotheses are the approach focusing on assumptions and observations. It can result in the formation of testable predictions. These hypotheses are common in science are referred to as scientific hypotheses. These hypotheses are formed based on specific observations which are narrower in scope.

Theories are broader in the aspects of explanation since they can be explained with different concepts of science. Multiple views increase the scope of the theories.

Therefore, the given statement is true.

04

Explanation of option “d”

Some theories can be either true based on speculations, or they can be false if they do not agree with proper scientific concepts.

Hypotheses in research are the assumptions created for testing purposes. These hypotheses and theories can or cannot be contradictory to the predicted results.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

The graph of a function \(y = f\left( x \right)\) is shown. At which point(s) are the following true?

(a) \(\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}\) and \(\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}}\) are both positive.

(b) \(\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}\) and \(\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}}\) are both negative.

(c) \(\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}\) is negative but \(\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}}\) is positive.

Question: Step 3 in Figure 9.9 is a significant point of regulation of glycolysis. ATP and related molecules allosterically regulate the enzyme phosphofructokinase (see Concept 8.5). Considering the overall result of glycolysis, would you expect ATP to inhibit or stimulate the activity of this enzyme? Explain. (Hint: Make sure you consider the role of ATP as an allosteric regulator, not as a substrate of the enzyme.)

A mole is the number of particles of a substance with a mass equivalent to its molecular (or atomic) mass in daltons. There are 6.022脳1023molecules (or atoms) in 1.0 mole (Avogadro鈥檚 number; see Concept 3.2). The data table shows the 鈥渕olar ratios" of some of the products from the Miller H2S experiment. In a molar ratio, each unit鈥檚 value is expressed relative to a standard for that experiment. Here, the standard is the number of moles of the amino acid glycine, which is set to a value of 1.0. For instance, serine has a molar ratio of 3.0脳10-2, meaning that for every mole of glycine, there is 3.0脳10-2mole of serine.

(a) Give the molar ratio of methionine to glycine and explain what it means.

(b) How many molecules of glycine are present in 1.0 mole?

(c) For every 1.0 mole of glycine in the sample, how many molecules of methionine are present? (Recall that to multiply two numbers with exponents, you add their exponents; to divide them, you subtract the exponent in the denominator from that in the numerator.)

Combining the data from both graphs, estimate the number of mice caught in moonlight versus no-moonlight conditions. Which condition is optimal for predation by the owl? Explain.

Question: Which metabolic pathway is common to both fermentation and cellular respiration of a glucose molecule?

  1. the citric acid cycles
  2. the electron transport chain
  3. glycolysis
  4. reduction of pyruvate to lactate
