NO WAYYY I DIDN"T KNOW THAT,
theories=made up based on reasoning(my opinion)
if thats teh case, aren't big bang theory and evolution theories justified?
justified= no longer theory????
therefore become law???
I wish to hear some comment thx

Definitions from BoS:


Law: A simple and precise statement that has been shown to be universally reliable. It describes phenomena that occur with unvarying regularity under the same conditions. Laws do not provide explanations, they simply state the relationship between two relevant variables. No scientific law is ever conclusively verified.​

Theory: A coherent explanation of a body experimental evidence, based upon a small number of assumptions. A theory provides predictions that can be tested against observations but is open to doubt and refutation.​

there was something about passing down diseases from fam members rite? i did hereditary, and im happy i spelt it rite

 

[Zamie]

Lol i did that too but my explanation was fail. I said birds from neighbouring islands had different shaped beaks depending on the food source xD. Obviously referring to the Finches from Galapagos(sp) Islands, just wasnt sure on the names.

Thats the example i used too, whats wrong with it?

No it asked about person to person i think and the answer was Infectious. (or maybe contagious, noone is sure)

Umm... what? I don't remember that... There was a question about passing diseases from human to human though...

what did u guys get for the question which said what were two experimental techniques used while experimenting on the sport drink?? i wrote the had a control of normal water and the made a table to record their results in. am i right?? :S

 

[shaily]

I put 'Infectious' instead of 'Contagious'

wasn't in infectious disease? i put infectious as well. hope its right

 

[brent012]

Nothing, just the way i explained it lol.

Also compared with others explanations, its not too good.

someone please explain to me what the computer recognises and what it doesnt, Is PH wrong for the question about acidity? I got a question wrong but i proceeded to right the correct answer next to it, Does that mean i get it wrong?

 

[Mudkip94]

According to Wikipedia they're the same.

Contagious - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"a contagious or infectious disease"

It's infectious; my trial exam had the exact same questions, and I remember people who did contagious got it marked incorrect.

Personally i think there is a list of possible answers which are correct and a list of answers which are deffinetely wrong. All others are checked by human incase of really messy writing or weird spelling etc.

I wrote they controlled the people's fitness and used a large sample.

Yeah i think i might have posted that link or another from wikipedia earlier.

i think so. i said the scientists had a control variable by using teenagers the same age with the same athletic capabilities, and i also said they based the experiment upon 500 people, i.e. the results are reliable

The correct answer is lower than 4000 hertz, I think.

Also, I decided to dispute them on that question - writing that an MP3 is a file format, and they should always refer to is as an MP3 PLAYER. Douches.

The only douche is YOU. You listen to an audio representation of the data that's stored in MP3, so you ARE listening to an MP3, whether it's through an MP3 player or otherwise.

Yep, a gene is a section of DNA.

oh wasn't it talking about the base of the DNA? :S i picked the base.
