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?
Answer
A
Growing acidophilic bacteria in some environments will cause the cells to stop dividing because of pH.
B
If the pH of their environment is changed, acidophilic bacterial cell division will be affected.
C
If the environment of acidophilic bacterial cells becomes alkaline, the bacteria will stop dividing.
D
The more alkaline an environment, the less cell division will occur in bacteria.
