Astudent conducted a controlled experiment to test the affects of tea tree oil on the growth of trichophyton rubrum, the primary cause of athlete's foot. he inoculated 10 test tubes of broth with the fungus and then added 1 ml of a tea tree oil solution to each. after plating and incubating the samples, he counted the number of colonies on each plate. his data is recorded in the following table:

Clara wrote the following hypothesis for an experiment about acidophilic bacteria. bacteria cells will stop dividing in a basic (alkaline) environment because of the high ph. which statement is the best way to restate the hypothesis so that it is more specific? growing acidophilic bacteria in some environments will cause the cells to stop dividing because of ph. if the ph of their environment is changed, acidophilic bacterial cell division will be affected. if the environment of acidophilic bacterial cells becomes alkaline, the bacteria will stop dividing. the more alkaline an environment, the less cell division will occur in bacteria.
