Reynaldo is reviewing a study on the effectiveness of a new drug-free remedy for depression. in the study, a group of participants was given a natural supplement for a period of six weeks. they rated their mood both before and after treatment. two-thirds of the group reported a marked improvement after the trial. what change in this study would do the most to increase reynaldo's confidence that sound scientific practices were followed?

Including the control group that did not receive the supplement.

Explanation:

Without this information we wouldn't know if his experiment was correct or not. Hope This Helps:)

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure

this protocol provides a detailed procedure for agarose-based ip to purify and enrich the protein of interest.
