Answer: Option B

Explanation: The thin layer that forms the outer covering of the cell is known as the cell membrane. It is composed of the lipid bilayer which as embedded proteins.

This membrane is selectively permeable which means it allows only specific molecules to pass through them.

The main function of cell membrane is to protect the cell from the outer environment and by the invasion of harmful bacteria and viruses.

You want to test whether duration of light exposure affects fish reproduction. What would be your control group and experimental
Triss [41]

Answer and Explanation:

During an experiment, data from an experimental group are compared with the data of a control group. These two sets are identical in all aspects except for the independent variable that the researcher changes in the experimental group to observe how they affect the individuals. This variable keeps constant in the control group.

The experimental group is the one that receives the experimental procedure, with changes in the independent variable.  There can be several experimental groups.

In the control group, the variable measured keeps constant, not influencing the results. This isolates the effect of the independent variable on the experiment and helps to find alternative explanations to the different results.

In the exposed example:

  • Control group: Certain amounts of fishes exposed to a normal number of light hours per day. For example, if under natural conditions in its original environment the species is exposed to 12 hour light, then the control group should be exposed constantly to 12 hours light a day to maintain its normal reproductive levels.
  • Experimental group: Certain amounts of fishes, equal to the control group, exposed to a different number of light hours per day. For example, there might be 5 experimental groups: one of them exposed to 4 hours light, a second group exposed to 8 hours light, the third group exposed to 12 hours light (The same as the control group), the fourth group exposed to 16 hours light, and the fifth group exposed to 20 hours light.

Except for light, the rest of the variables should be the same for all the groups.
