In an experiment determining the effects of antibiotics on the treatment of pneumonia in mice, two groups of mice with pneumonia are compared. One group, group A, receives no antibiotic, and the other group, group B, receives 10 mg/kg of body weight of a new antibiotic. Besides the administration of the antibiotic, there are no differences between the two groups of mice. What is the purpose of group A

Group A is the control of the experiment

Explanation:

In an experiment, the control group is the group that does not receive any experimental treatment. The control groups are kept in the same condition as the experimental group except the variable being tested (independent variable).

In this question involving an experiment to determine the effects of antibiotics on the treatment of pneumonia in mice. Two groups of mice were employed. One of the groups (group A) received no antibiotic while the other group (group B) received 10 mg/kg of antibiotics. This means that GROUP A is the CONTROL GROUP of this experiment.

The amoeba is a eukaryote whose bodies most often consist of a single cell.
The cells of amoebae, like those of other eukaryotes, possess certain characteristic features. For example:-
1. Their cytoplasm and cellular contents are enclosed within a cell membrane.
2. Their DNA is packaged into a central cellular compartment called the nucleus.
3. They contain specialized structures called organelles, which execute a range of cellular functions including energy production and protein transport.
