Ms. Justice wanted to see if students worked harder if she promised them ice cream. She gave 2nd and 3rd period a long assignment with 100 questions. She told 2nd period that if they finished they would get ice cream. She didn't tell 3rd period anything. At the end of the period 29 2nd period students finished the assignment and 9 3rd period students finished it.
What is the control group?
the ice cream promise
the 100 question test
The 3rd Period Class
The number of students who finished the assignment

Organisms turn small, simple monomers into larger, complicated polymers through the process of
ingestion
dehydration synthesis
regulation
hydrolysis
