Question

the passage below describes an experiment. jane liked to make guacamole, but she often found only unripe avocados at the grocery store. jane learned that ripe fruits produce a gas called ethylene, which can cause other fruits to ripen. she thought that storing ripe bananas with avocados would make the avocados ripen faster. jane placed three unripe avocados in each of six bags. she added one ripe banana to two of the bags and three ripe bananas to two other bags. she did not add any bananas to the remaining two bags. then, jane sealed all six bags. after two days, she counted the number of ripe avocados in each bag. complete the sentence. in this experiment, the bags with three avocados and one banana were part of a control group an experimental group

Explanation:

An experimental group is a group in an experiment that receives the variable being tested. In this case, the variable is the presence of ripe bananas (which produce ethylene). The bags with three avocados and one banana have the variable (the banana), so they are part of the experimental group. A control group would be a group that does not receive the variable being tested, like the bags with no bananas added.

Answer:

an experimental group
