Ion concentrations in cells vary depending on the type of cell and its growth rate.

Qualitative- (the sky is blue) not include a number. Quanititative- (water boils at 100 degrees c)/ measurement. Hypothesis used to make a prediction that can be tested with experiments.

The processing of raw materials by chemical reactions to manufacture commercial products.
