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? growing acidophilic bacteria in some environments will cause the cells to stop dividing because of ph. if the ph of their environment is changed, acidophilic bacterial cell division will be affected. if the environment of acidophilic bacterial cells becomes alkaline, the bacteria will stop dividing. the more alkaline an environment, the less cell division will occur in bacteria.

The correct answer will be option C.

Explanation:

Hypothesis is an idea that explain a phenomenon observed in the natural world. The hypothesis can be tested and proved using scientific methods and depending on the scientific results these can be rejected or accepted.

According to the given statement that "Bacteria cells will stop dividing in a basic (alkaline) environment because of the high pH" it wants to convey how bacterial cell growth is influenced by change in pH.

Therefore, the given statement can also be restated as "If the environment of acidophilic bacterial cells becomes alkaline, the bacteria will stop dividing".

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
