17. You are conducting an experiment to determine which type of carbohydrate provides the best growing conditions for bacteria. You set up 5 growth plates of bacteria. 4 plates each have a different type of sugar, while the 5th plate has no sugar. What is the purpose of the 5th plate in this experiment? A) It is the independent variable plate B) This plate will grow the most bacteria because of the lack of sugar C) This plate serves as a control plate to compare growth with the sugar plates D) This plate should not grow any bacteria due to lack of sugar

2. Humans produce sweat as a cooling mechanism to maintain a stable internal temperature. Which of the following best explains how the properties of water contribute to this physiological process? A) The high specific heat capacity of water allows the body to absorb a large amount of excess heat energy. B) The high heat of vaporization of water allows the body to remove excess heat through a phase change of water from liquid to gas. C) The high surface tension of water contributes to the physical process by which water leaves the body. D) The high melting temperature of water allows the body to remove excess heat through a phase change of water from solid to liquid.
