Flashcards
Control Group
Control Group
A group in an experiment that does not receive the treatment being tested. It serves as a baseline for comparison and helps isolate the effect of the treatment.
Negative Control
Negative Control
A control group in which no effect is expected. It helps to see if the manipulation of independent variables has the anticipated effect on the dependent variable.
Catalase
Catalase
An enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
