For each statement below identify it as an observation hypot

For each statement below, identify it as an observation, hypothesis, or prediction. If I add magnesium chloride, the growth rate will increase. (Circle one: obs/hyP/Pred) The growth rate slowed by 34% following the addition of sodium chloride. (Circle one: obs/hyp/pred) Sodium chloride blocks the membrane ion channels and thereby prevents nutrients from entering the cell. (Circle one obs/hyp/pred)

Solution

1st is prediction as it predicts outcome

2nd is just observation as it contains results form study.

3rd is hypothesis that explains results from study, it can be tested.
