    What is the purpose of a positive control in the experiments you did on testing of the different macromolecules?

    I agree with Malik. Positive control is what we are testing for, so the experiment with proteins was a positive control because it did react

    The purpose of a postive control in the experiments done on testing for macromolecules is to see if the variable reacts in the way we expected it to.

    The positive control is what we are testing for, it contains the variable being tested for. The experiment with the macromolecules was a positive control, and it did react in the way we hoped and expected it to.

    A positve control has the variable that you are testing for. When we tested the different macromolecules we said beforehand that they would react a certain way and they did react that way.

    the main purpose of a positive control in the experiments testing for macromolecules is to see if the variable reacts in the way we expected it to. And due to our experiments they responded the way we expected them to.

    The Positive Control which contains the variable which was tested. The purpose of the Positive Control is to detect what to expect.

    Basically the point of positive control in this experiment was to test for Macromolecules is to see if the variable would react in a certain way, and they did!

    A positive control contains the variable for which you are testing, it reacts positively and demonstrates the test’s ability to detect what you expect.

    the positive control contains the variable of the experiment, it shows us what you are expecting in the experiment.

    The purpose of the positive control in the experiment that tested for macromolecules was to determine whether or not the variable reacts. Based on my groups’ hypothesis, the variable did react.

    The purpose of the positive control in the experiment is to determine if the variable reacts or does not react.

    A positive control withholds the variable for which is being tested and to look closely if it is what you are expecting.
