He results of an experiment are not consistent with the hypothesis.
He results are consistent with a long-standing, but umpopular theory.
Another, more senior scientist does not like the results because they contradict his theory but are consistent with the one being tested.
The results are consistent with the hypothesis.

The are the same meaning to both.
They are both words used as synonyms for technology but in a different sense by scientists and the lay public.
Scientists view a theory as a rigorously tested hypothesis with broad explanatory power; the lay pblic views a theory as an "imperfectly known fact" or a guess.
Both groups view a theory as a guess that has little support, but scientists view it as based on physical evidence, while the public views it as based on withful thinking.
Nothing; the developmental pathway of fruit development
Nothing; Newton's laws vs. Einstein's relativity
The basic assumptions; rate of fall due to gravity in air and in a vaccuum
Subjective truth; the rate of growth of trees
To increase the number of test subjects to a number large enough for statistical analysis
To increase the number of test subjects to justify a larger monetary grant request
To provide an untreated comparison with the experimental group
the treatment applied to the control group
The controlled means by which the treatment is applied to the experimetnal group
Secondary treatments applied to the expermental group to control the results
Anything other than the treatment that could differ between the experimental and control groups

Species range
Intrinsic birth rate of a a population
Ramifications of population growth
Return (death) rate in a population
There is no direct relationship
Limiting factors tend to drive population increases, carrying capacity tends to drive population decreases
Carrying capacity can be set by a single limiting factor.
Carrying capacity determines what limiting factors occur in a population.
a constant mortality rate over the life of the cohort
Low infant mortality with a high probability of living to old age
Low infant, high middle age, and low old age mortality
High infant mortality with a low probability of living to old age

To turn chemical energy to heat energy
to recycle minerals to the reservoir for re-use by primary producers
To release minerals directly back to the consumers
to make new minerals for use in nutrient cycling
The biomass decreases by 90% from each trophic level to trophic level
Toxic substances can enter the food web at the producer level that are absorbed and stored but not excreted by the producers and then the consumer levels
At higher trophic levels, toxins build up to a concentration high enough to cause harm to the organisms
All of the above, answer 1, 2, and 3 contribute to biological magnification
