A placebo is basically an alternative medical treatment (e.g. pill)  that doesn't <span>contain an active substance meant to affect health. So it isn't actually solving anything but it can have the placebo effect. Which can be assumed is the reason it is sometimes used in experiments. </span>

A placebo is kind of a "fake" treatment but, typically the person receiving a placebo is unaware it has no medical effect on them so they believe they are feeling better. For example, a lot of anxiety meds are placebos and people don't know so their brain tricks them into thinking they are feeling less anxious. This could be used in experiments where a group believes they are affected to see how they react

Which accurately describes gymnosperms? Check all that apply. Some of them lose their leaves in winter.Some of them lack seeds.S
AleksandrR [38]
I think that correct answers are:
<span>Some of them lose their leaves in winter. (i.e. <span><em>Larix</em></span>)</span>
<span>They include the tallest plants (i.e<em>.Sequoia)

</em>I don't think they are the oldest type of seed plants, since in the past the classes like progymnosperms and seed ferns existed prior to the gymnosperms. But question isn't absolutely clear to me and I can't be 100% sure.
All of the gymnosperms have seeds unless human grows some seedless variant.
Gymnosperms don't have flowers like angiosperms do, but some people think that cone is kind of flower.
Male cones produce pollen, not female.
Hope I helped :)
