Experimental vs control group:

Biology
1 answer:
OLEGan [10]1 year ago
6 0

When conducting an experiment, the control group does not receive the treatment, while the experimental group is exposed to it. Individuals from both groups come from the same population.  

<h3>What are the control group and the experimental group?</h3>

During an experiment the researcher compares at least two groups: a control group and an experimental group.

Both of them are composed of individuals coming from the same population, so they are identical in all aspects except for the independent variables.

Both groups must be similar in every variable that might influence the results, except for the study treatment.

  • The control group is the one used to identify any other factors influencing the results obtained in the study, apart from the modified variables of the treatment.

It is useful to have a control group to observe how it responds when no treatment is applied.

The independent variable always keeps constant in the control group.

  • The experimental group is subjected to the effects of the treatment.

The researcher applies different treatments to the experimental groups to analyze their response.

The researcher voluntarily changes the values of the independent variable to observe how it affects the individuals subjected.

There can be several experimental groups.

In conclusion, the control group does not receive the treatment, while the experimental group does.

Answer:

Capsule

Explanation:

In many bacterial species, an extracellular layer composed of a polysaccharide especially a monosaccharide is produced around the cell wall of the bacteria. This extracellular layer is known as the slime layer or the capsule.

The capsule in bacteria serves many purposes like it protects the bacteria from the destruction by the white blood cell in the host, it enables the bacteria to adhere to the substrates and protect it.

In the plant group called the bryophytes also a capsule structure is present which grows in the sporophytic phase and encloses the spores, therefore, the capsule is considered the sporangium of the bryophytes.

Thus, the capsule is correct.
