Question

1. what does your data suggest about the behavior of the pillbugs?

a. the experimental group shows the pillbugs move toward the cornstarch choice chamber and the control group shows the pillbugs dont have a preference for the side of the choice chamber.
b. the experimental group shows the pillbugs move away from the cornstarch choice chamber.
c. the experimental group shows the pillbugs move toward the sand choice chamber and the control group shows the pillbugs dont have a preference for the side of the choice chamber.

1. your hypothesis was \pillbugs that are indifferent to cornstarch will have random movements between chambers.\ does the data support your hypothesis?

a. no
b. yes

Explanation:

1. Without seeing the actual data, we assume based on typical pillbug - behavior experiments where they might be attracted to food - like substances such as cornstarch. Option A is a common result where the experimental group (exposed to cornstarch) shows movement towards the cornstarch choice chamber and the control group shows no preference.
2. If the pillbugs are indifferent to cornstarch, we would expect random movements between chambers as stated in the hypothesis. If the data shows such randomness, the hypothesis is supported.

Answer:

1. A. The experimental group shows the pillbugs move toward the cornstarch choice chamber and the control group shows the pillbugs don't have a preference for the side of the choice chamber.
2. B. Yes
