Question

which two statements correctly describe how science and technology are connected? advancements in technology influence new scientific research. new scientific discoveries cannot be made with existing technology. progress in science leads to the development of new technology. as technology advances, less scientific research is needed.

Explanation:

The connection between science and technology is reciprocal. Technological advancements (e.g., better microscopes) enable new scientific research by providing tools to explore unknowns. Conversely, scientific progress (e.g., understanding quantum mechanics) drives the development of new technologies (e.g., quantum computers). The other statements are incorrect: new discoveries can use existing tech, and advancing tech often increases research needs, not decreases.

Answer:

Advancements in technology influence new scientific research., Progress in science leads to the development of new technology.
