It will allow the researchers to determine whether the group experiences nothing while eating the placebo pill, or if the group experiences effects because of their own expectations. This is also known as the placebo effect.

EXPLANATION

Placebo itself is an inactive substance that will give no effects to the participants. Placebo is usually given to the control group of an experiment, while the treatment group will receive the actual drug. Placebo is usually just sterile water, sugar pill, or saline solution that will act as a fake treatment to the control group. The substance in the placebo pill will have no side effects and no medical effects.

Placebo is important to be given to the participants because the participants might have expected on the treatment. They will try to make a placebo response since they expect that the treatment will work on them. This is called the placebo effect.

The placebo effect refers to the phenomenon where participants experience effects from the placebo pill. This may happen because the participants do not know that they are actually receiving the placebo pill and not the real treatment pill that will give effects. They believe that the placebo pill is actually the real pill. They may think of this because a placebo is usually made very similar to the real treatment, whether if it is a pill, liquid, injection, etc. Even though it is similar to real treatment, it still has no effects on someone’s body.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

D) I, II and III

Explanation:

i. Shelter Belts

Strong wind typically carry enough force to destroy the surface of the farm's land, which will accelerate the rate of land degradation. Usually, farmers put shelters belts at the edge of the farm to block such winds and prevent the soil degradation.

ii. No till farming

In this method of farming, Farmers avoid the use of tools that will destroy the composition of the soil (Such as shovel or rake). They plant the crops by creating as little disruption as possible to the soil to prevent soil degradation

iii. Animal graze over plowing.

The concept is similar to no-till farming. Animal plowing usually conducted by making a buffalo carried a giant rake to destroy the soil and provide spaces for Fertilizer. Animal graze will eliminate the use of the rake and prevent soil degradation.

ratelena [41]

Answer:

Chunking.

Explanation:

Chunking is the process of dividing the information in groups to be easily remembered. Due to their similar traits or familiarity, the groups of words are easily remembered being separated with those that share the familiarity rather than when they are all mixed up. Such is the case with Helen and the items both from the kitchen and the garage. If she makes two separate groups out of the big list, dividing everything in groups of things that share similar traits or common aspects, she will have it easier at remembering everything.

Bats and cats both have forelimbs adapted for moving. Whales (mammals) and sharks (fish) have fins adapted for swimming. What te

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

1. Bats and cats: Homology

2. Whales and sharks: Analogy

Explanation:

In Biology, homology refers to the similarity of features from different species of organisms that share a common ancestor. This is the opposite of analogy, which refers to a feature that has a similar function but is not derived from a common ancestor.

In this case, bats and cats have forelimbs adapted for locomotion. This is a case of homologous characters because they both are descendants of tetrapods - four-limbed animals. Therefore, even though cats and bats look completely different, they both share a similar feature: forelimbs, a characteristic feature from their common early mammalian ancestors.

On the other hand, whales (mammals) and sharks (fish) do not share a common ancestor. So, the fins are analogous structures: both have a similar function because both have adapted to an aquatic environment but they have completely separate evolutionary origins.
