Students are experimenting with a substance that they think can be added to soil to increase the number of
flowers a certain plant will make. They set up 20 pots of
soil, each planted with the same type of seed. They
divide the pots into two groups and add 15 drops of the
substance to pots in one group and only 10 drops to pots
in the other group. After the plants grow for four weeks,
the students count how many flowers each plant has
made
What does this experimental investigation lack?
a control group
an independent variable
a dependent variable
a procedure

A: Control Group

Explanation:

The control group is part of an expierment left untouched by anything that could possibly alter it, in the case of this question, the students have two groups of plants that have drops of liquid that could alter them, in order to see the growth, and to see if the liquid actually did anything, in order to do so, you would have to have a untouched plant, that shows what it looks like with out any alteration from researchers. So the answer would be control group.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.

for step 7 table c on the lab "newtons law of action"   the average time it took the car to travel .25 meters   was 1.92 seconds.

the average time it took the car to travel 0.50 meters was 2.61 seconds

hope this : )
