Some students wanted to test which acid was most effective at preventing hornwonns from feeding on tomato plants.The students sprayed salicylic acid on one group of 15 tomato plants and jasmonic acid
on a second group of 15 tomato plants. Then students placed one homworm, with a mass of 30 to 35 mg, on each tomato plant. The students recorded the mass of the homworms after one week. The table shows the results of their investigation.
Which of these should the students do to make their conclusion more scientifically valid?

(test 1 #45)
refer to question 20.
In a biology lab, students conducted a seed-germinating experiment. They wrapped seeds in paper towels soaked in different solutions.The paper towels were placed in separate petri dishes and kept at a constant temperature.The setup of the experiment is represented in the table below.

After 7 days, the students counted the number of seeds that had germinated. Which change in
procedure would improve the experiment?
