To test the effect of vitamin D on growth, two groups of rats were raised under identical conditions and fed the same diet. One
of the groups received daily injections of vitamin D. The other group received injections of saline, which did not contain vitamin D. All the rats were weighed weekly for 2 months. In this experiment, the control was the__--
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. The group that receiving saline is considered as control group.
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.

Explanation:
I would say this is the answer but I'm not sure. This is just what I think. I asked my mom about it and she said the same thing I did. I hope this helps.
The plants provide food and accommodation in the form of food bodies and nectar as well as hollow thorns which can be used as nests. The ants return this favor by protecting the plants against herbivores
