Typically you use experimental and control groups in an experiment. a control group is like the default, and the experimental is the one you actually experiment with.

for example if i run an experiment on the effects of food dye on a leaf stem, i’ll have my control group (the ones without food dye) to compare to the experimental group (the ones with food dye)

the control group is a way for scientists to see how an experiment truly affected or altered the subject

What is the difference in the beginning between primary succession amd secondary succession

lianna [129]

Primary succession is when, for example, a volcano explodes and there is nothing left and even the soil is ruined. It would take at least a hundred years for the land to be like it was before the volcano erupted. Secondary succession is when, for example, a wild fire happens but the soil is not ruined. It would take at least 25-50 years for the land to be like it was before the fire.
