Answer: Lipids.

Explanation:

The large carbon -hydrogen bonds(C-H) in chains of lipids makes them ideal storage of energy.

T<u>he more C-H bonds breakage, the higher protons availability from Citric acid cycle NADH and FADH2  and hydrogen atom splitting (to protons and electrons) for  the electron transport chains (ETC</u>), and therefore the higher proton pumps for  more ATP's synthesis in the mitochondria matrix.  

In addition large number of electrons  surrounding carbon atom in fatty acids than other food molecule is added factor.  The transfer of these electrons to oxygen during oxidation of fatty acids releases large amount of energy (9 kilo calorie) into the cells,  more than other food substances

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

I think she should try the experiment one set with fertilizer, and one without. The negative control group would be the set of rose bushes grown without the fertilizer, but under the exact same conditions as the experimental group. Then, if a difference is seen you can be sure it's accurate, since you tested with and without fertilizer under the same conditions. Sorry if i am wrong, I am not completly sure about this one. Again I might be wrong so sorry in advance.
