a control helps to increase the reliability of the results. it allows a scientist to compare it to other group(s) in an experiment. if a scientist notices a significant different btwn the control and the other groups, he can logically conclude that the independent variable has an impact on the dependent variable.

a variable is any factor, trait or condition that can exist in differing amounts or types. there are usually three tpes of variables in experiments: the independent, dependent and contolled. the independent variable variable is the one that is changed by the scientists to figure it's affect on something.

What role do microbes play in nutrient cycling?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Microbes are vital to control biogeochemical cycling of the elements essential for life.

Explanation:

Microbes are vital to control biogeochemical cycling of the elements essential for life. In a biogeochemical cycle,  nutrients move through the ecosystem, allowing many forms of matter being passed from one organism in one part of the biosphere, to another organism in another part of the biosphere (microorganisms can circulate through biotic or abiotic ecosystems), in this way, ensuring the supply of essential nutrients for plant crop and growth, the degradation of organic matter, the maintenance of soil quality/structure and the carbon losses to the atmosphere. In conclusion, without microbiological activity, nutrients cycling and other functions in the ecosystem would be impossible.
