Explanation:

The vitamin are the important chemical compounds that are required in the body in the small amounts. Two main types of vitamin are water soluble vitamin and fat soluble vitamin.

Whether testing for any chemical or drug, the research must include the controlled group and the experiment group. In the given experiment the effect of vitamin D is observed in the rats. The experiment group receive the testing chemicals and the control group includes some other chemicals by which the effects on the experimental group can be compared.

Answer:

The other group received injections of saline, which did not contain vitamin D

Explanation:

A scientific experiment is performed to test the predicted hypothesis of natural phenomenon.

The experiment is designed in which the samples are divided into to groups that are the group which receive the treatment called experimental group and the group which do not receive the treatment and thus remains same throughout the experiment called control experiment.

The control samples are required in the experiment to compare the effect of the dependent variable and thus control group acts as a reference to the experimental group. In the given question, since the test was performed to study the effect of vitamin D on the growth of the rat so the group which will not receive the Vitamin D treatment will be considered a control group.  

Therefore the sample which has received saline instead of vitamin D in the control group.

The best way to measure an exact volume is with a(n) _____________.
xxTIMURxx [149]
The answer is E, graduated cylinder.

Meanwhile beaker and test tubes may have markings, but they're not as accurate. Especially in beakers, their wide diameter only makes an approximate volume, as it is very likely to have a reading mistake on that. Their main function is not to measure volumes, thus there marking may already have an mistake.

And in watch glass and evaporating dish, they're both very shallow and wide in diameter too, so they're not for measuring volumes. Plus, not all of them have markings.

And in graduated cylinder, the thin shape makes the reading a lot more accurate and the main purpose for that is to measure volumes. They also come in transparent tubes that can make the reading clear and easy to read.
