To answer these questions, we need to assume that this is a pulse - rate experiment where different activities (like resting, walking, running, etc.) were performed, and pulse rates were measured. Here are the general answers based on typical pulse - rate experiments:
Question 1
In most cases, when a person is at rest (for example, sitting or lying down without any physical exertion), the body's demand for oxygen is low. The heart doesn't need to pump blood as fast to supply oxygen to the tissues. So, the resting activity usually results in the slowest pulse rate.
Activities that require a lot of physical effort, such as running or intense exercise, increase the body's demand for oxygen. To meet this increased demand, the heart has to pump blood more rapidly, which leads to a higher pulse rate. So, the most physically demanding activity (like running) in the experiment will give the quickest pulse rate.
A control in an experiment is used as a baseline for comparison. In a pulse - rate experiment, the resting state (when the person is not doing any activity) is often used as the control. This is because we can compare the pulse rates during other activities (the experimental groups) to the resting pulse rate to see how the activities affect the pulse.
