Introduction:
The study of science is based on scientific inquiry by observation, evaluating the results via experiment and providing interference. The experiment follows specific rules and regulation and provides the results as scientific explanation.
The scientific explanations are tested on hypothesis and are open to questions so that the results can be improved. The scientific debate thus provides a forum for improving the explanation used to construct or test hypothesis.It strives to provide sufficient and meaningful informationon key issues.
Answer to Problem 1STP
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (A) Challenging accepted theories
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (A) -Challenging accepted theories. Accepted theories are challenged over time to time because once accepted the theories must be true whenever tested. So once accepted, theories may be challenged on the basis of new observation which can contradict with existing scientific theories. On the basis of new finding, an accepted theory can be deemed incomplete or erroneous (rarely).So, thecorrect answer is option (A).
Explanation for incorrect answer
Option (B) - Creating controversy.A scientific controversy may be substantial disagreement among the scientists. It may involve the data interpretation and ideas which are not worthy of perusal for future scientific studies. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (C) - Gaining research funds. Research funds help scientist to procure or process better instruments, devices or methods in their investigation. Funding can help to finance a need, a program or project which enhance the scientific knowledge. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option(D) - Publishing Result.During a scientific experiment various data are collected.The interpretations of the data are published in the form of result. The documentation of the scientific explanation of the experiments is published for perusal of other members of the communities. So, this is an incorrect answer.

- One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardIf a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardHow do i know which way the arrows go?arrow_forward

Please note that the focus of this assignment are the (biological) scientific issues associated with rewilding. As will be discussed in class, there are a number of non-scientific issues involved or implicated in rewilding, all ultimately affecting the public acceptability of rewilding. Although these issues are important – indeed, critical – in this assignment you should focus on the biological science issues and questions. Details: You must enumerate at least two pros and at least two cons. Your answer should be no more than 500 well-chosen words, excluding references. Think carefully about how best to organize and structure your answer. Aim for high information density: say a lot, but say it succinctly.
