A molecule is composed of atoms. True or False? Correct Answer True What is the difference between a theory and a hypothesis? Correct Answer A theory is supported by all existing evidence and have never been shown to be false. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a set of observations that requires further evidence to be supported or discarded. All living things evolve. True or False?
