What is the best way to test a hypothesis? Group of answer choices

design and perform an experiment

create a large spreadsheet with all your data on it

do lots of research

ask scientists, then make an educated guess

Melissa lives in a town called greendale. she discovers that when she lights a match and holds it near her kitchen faucet, the little flame grows into a larger fire. melissa is surprised because she thought the water would extinguish the flame rather than ignite it further. her mother tells her that the water might be contaminated with dissolved methane, a primary component in natural gas. melissa investigates the matter and finds that cases of methane contamination started shortly after a company began fracking for natural gas in the area. based on this information, which three statements are plausible consequences of fracking in greendale?

The diagram below represents a marine food web and a process that can harm the human population. each circle represents an organism and the smaller dots inside them represent a toxic substance. what is being represented and how does it harm the population? the diagram represents biological half-life, in which toxins build up in organisms higher up on the food chain, and this can negatively impact humans who consume the organisms and the toxic substance. the diagram represents biomagnification, in which toxins build up in organisms higher up on the food chain, and this can negatively impact humans who consume the organisms and the toxic substance. the diagram represents the process by which different organisms prey upon each other; this can impact the human population by reducing the number of organisms that do not contain the toxin. the diagram represents the way that toxins are metabolized by living organisms, with those at greater trophic levels able to metabolize more efficiently than those at lower levels. this means that those at higher tropic levels are safer for humans to consume compared to the organisms at lower trophic levels.

One function of the poly-a tail on eukaryotic mrna sequences is to the mrna be transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. prokaryotic mrna also has a poly-a tail. choose the best explanation of the prokaryotic poly-a tail. a. prokaryotic poly-a tails are composed of a different molecular structure compared with eukaryotic poly-a tails. b. prokaryotic poly-a tails have the same functions as eukaryotic poly-a tails, because this process is highly conserved throughout different species. c. prokaryotic poly-a tails aren't important, because prokaryotes don't have nuclei. d. prokaryotic poly-a tails have other functions, because prokaryotes don't have nuclei.
