A group of restaurateurs want to see if the price of an item affects how much people enjoy it. They want to test what price they should list their fillet mignon at that will maximize customer enjoyment. The steaks will be the exact same quality and be cooked the exact same way. The group that receives the regular priced steak would be.
What is, the control group?

The arrows in food webs show this concept in ecosystems.
What is the flow of energy?

Glucose sugar and oxygen gas are the outputs of this biological process.
What is photosynthesis?

What is mutualism?

An amateur butterfly watcher wants to attract as many butterflies to their yard as possible. They have purchased butterfly nectar, sugar water, and honey water and want to see which one to use in their butterfly feeder. The statement "the butterfly nectar will attract the most butterflies" is an example of this concept.
What is a hypothesis

If an organism on the first trophic level begins with 35,000 kcal, this is the number of calories that will be transferred to the third trophic level.
What is 350 kcal?
200
During this process, large macromolecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and sugars are broken down into their smaller monomer units (amino acids, monosaccharides, fatty acids) for better absorption.
What is digestion
200
A species interaction where both species are harmed
What is competition?
