During a laboratory activity to study the action of salivary amylase on starch, a student sets up three test tubes: Test tube A contains starch solution + saliva at 37°C, Test tube B contains starch solution + saliva at 0°C, Test tube C contains starch solution + boiled saliva at 37°C. After 30 minutes, iodine solution is added to all tubes. Which test tube(s) will show blue-black colour with iodine?

A student wants to determine the focal length of a concave mirror by obtaining the image of a distant tree on a screen. After getting a sharp image on the screen, she measures the distance between the mirror and screen as 12.0 cm. However, she realizes the mirror stand was 0.5 cm in front of the actual mirror pole. What is the correct focal length of the mirror?

In an experiment to test the effect of fertilizer on plant growth, a student uses three identical pots with the same soil and plants. Pot A receives no fertilizer, Pot B receives 5g fertilizer, and Pot C receives 10g fertilizer. All pots are placed in different locations with varying light. What is the major flaw in this experimental design?
