A control group is the group of people or things you, well control in your experiment. Say you were doing an experiment on the effectiveness of a vitamin, you would gather a group of people and for the sake of this assignment we'll say you have 10 people. You'd give 5 of the 10 people the actual vitamin and have them tell you how they feel and you'd give the other 5 a fake pill that looks like the vitamin that does nothing, and ask them how they feel after taking it. So, the people who actually took the real pill would be your control group because they actually tested the variable. I hope that helps you!

Herbivores get energy by eating plants. Plants get energy from sunlight. Why does most of the energy captured by plants never be
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Because they lose most of the energy as heat when they perform metabolic activities

Explanation:

Cells of all living organisms require energy in form of ATP to perform their cellular functions. In an ecosystem, organisms obtain this energy by feeding on one another. However, these energy transfer starts from organisms capable of using sunlight called PRODUCERS e.g plants.

Herbivores, which are PRIMARY CONSUMERS get their energy by feeding on these plants. However, according to the PYRAMID OF ENERGY, which represents the flow of energy in an ecosystem, only a few portion of the energy (about 10%) derived by plants from the sun gets transferred to herbivores. This is because most of the energy (about 90%) is lost as heat when the plants undergo metabolic activities.
