Harvester ants often strip a bush of all of its leaves. Some people believe this helps the plant grow thicker, healthier stems.

In an experiment, a student stripped off all the leaves from a set of plants. In a second set of identical plants, the student allowed ants to strip off the plants' leaves. In order to improve this experimental design, it is most important to add a set of plants

Answer:

The correct answer will be- the control group of plants with leaves on them.

Explanation:

Harvester ants are the ants which collect the seeds of the plants and store them as a source of food in their nests in soil.

The experimenter observes that stripping of the plant leaves by the ant increases the thickness. The experiment was designed to study the thickness of the stem with one group in which the leaves were stripped by the humans and one group with leaves stripped by the ants.  

These cases represent the experimental groups in which stem thickness will differ but it lacked the control group which will have the plants with their leaves present on them and preventing them from stripping by human and ants.

This control group will provide a reference to the experimental groups and will improve the experiment.

Thus, the control group of plants with leaves on them is the correct answer.

⭐️The answer is ⭐️


Fibrous joints are connected by dense connective tissue consisting mainly of collagen. These joints are also called fixed or immovable joints because they do not move. Fibrous joints have no joint cavity and are connected via fibrous connective tissue. The skull bones are connected by fibrous joints called sutures.

Name and briefly describe the three essential principles of test construction ap psych
Natasha_Volkova [10]
<span>The three essential principles of test construction are listed below:
I. Standardization
II. Reliability
III. Validity


</span>Standardization- To standardize a test means that test is given to a large, representative sample of people, in order to establish the norms that future test takers are compared against (using a normal distribution)

Reliability - This principle requires that a test must produce reliable, consistent results when it is repeated. The reliability of a test can be verified using the test-retest method or the split-half method.

Validity - This refers to the ability of a test to measure what it was designed to measure.

Develop a hypothesis to explain why you think eurypterids developed legs even though they lived on the ocean floor.
expeople1 [14]

I think that since it lives on the ocean floor, at the deepest of the ocean. So anyway, the fin on the Eurypterids is still necessary but not that much, since they live on the ocean floor. Their movements mostly on the ocean floor. So fin would not help them "stick" to the floor. Also there are still gravity acts on the Eurypterids and the feet would help them move faster. Hope this helps.
