Question

Jordan is doing a science fair project on the effects of music on the growth of tomatoes. He has two tomato plants, Plant A and Plant B, that he grows in a window and gives the same amount of water. Plant A is exposed to classical music using headphones attached to the soil. Throughout the growth period, Jordan counts the number of tomatoes produced by each plant. Plant A = 35 Tomatoes | Plant B = 55 Tomatoes 1) What is the control group?

Answer 1

The control group is the plant without the music because nothing is being done to it. while the experimental group is the plant with music because you are testing it in a different environment (the music).

Answer 2

The correct answer is - plant B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Control group or factor is the factor or variable that did not get any treatment in an experiment that rest test subjects are getting so the result can be compared to the control group.

Plant b is a control group here as it did not get the music as a plant A so the effect of music on plant A can be compared to plant B and see if there is any change occurs.

Thus, the correct answer is - plant B.
