What's a negative control?

A negative control is a control group in an experiment where the variables are not expected to have an effect. It helps researchers to determine if any observed effects are due to the treatment being tested or other factors.

What does controlled experiment mean in science terms?

All science experiments are performed in a controlled manner which means, there will be a positive control, a negative control and importantly the subject sample(s) who's behavior is not known. The experimental observation must be positive with the positive control sample and negative with the negative control sample, no matter whatever the condition is. Only in this set up the result of a subject (which is the actual unknown experimental sample) would be considered as a faithful result.Any fault or irregularities of the controls will destroy the authenticity of an experiment.


What is the controlled experiment in a science experiment?

The control in a science experiment is the same thing as a constant. It is something that you keep the same the entire experiment. For example if you were testing how various locations affect temperature your constants would be the thermometer you used and the time for measuring the temperature. If you don't have a constant than your experiment results won't be accurate.

Pretty much as it is in math, something that is undefined, but in Science it needs to be defined or the experiment cant continue. Your variables are basically what you measure, what you change and your control, both positive and negative (one with a 100% percent positive result and another with a 100% negative result)


Why is lactose fermentation common among enteric gram negative bacteria?

Probably because that is where the gram negative bacteria have found a food source. Lactose is not the perfered diet, but it works and they are most likely there because they can tolerate the environment, and survive (on lactose) when their #1 food source is not available.
