Although scientific theories are based on strong evidence, they can change over time. which of the following correctly explains why scientific theories change?

a. new theories require changes to the scientific process, so the theory changes as a result.

b. scientists are often incorrect in their initial hypotheses, so the theory changes.

c. scientists argue, re-examine, and consider new explanations to new data.

d. theories are hypotheses that have gained support and change as the hypothesis changes.

The correct answer is option C, Scientists argue, re-examine, and consider new explanations to new data.

Explanation:

Science is a subject which is learned through continuous assessment.  

All the established scientific theories are considered as the best explanation to any concept or fact. These established theories were also tested several times and were supported by peers during the time of their discovery. But yet the scientific theories changes as theories need to be progressive. Which means they must be embedded with scope of re framing itself in future if some better explanation for the same theory is found.  

Science is however, a continuous process of learning.

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
