Answer:

The control of this experiment is the rat that received sugar in place of the drug.

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, control is characterized by the individual (or object) who has not received what is being tested in the experiment. In the case of the above question, the experiment wants to test the effectiveness of a drug in fighting cancer. All rats received different doses of this medicine, except for one mouse that received sugar in place of the medicine. This mouse is the control of the experiment and will serve to compare how cancer is reduced in individuals who received the drug compared to those with cancer who did not receive the drug.

Which of the following is a decomposer?
faltersainse [42]

According to an answer from another and a bit of my own research;

A decomposer is exactly what it sounds like, an organism that decomposes something and feeds off of it. You can eliminate the answers "Owl" and "Hawk" from a first glance as they are both consumers. Looking at it again, an "Ant" is <em>not </em>a decomposer, but rather, a consumer just like your other two options. This leaves "Fungus", something that decomposes it's food.

Please forgive me if I'm wrong. Feel free to ask for more information and I will scour the internet to see what I can find. <3
