Fill in the blanks after reading about the following experiment. To test the hypothesis that cells grow faster when given glucose, 12 flasks of cells were set up.  Samples of cells from each flask were measured.  Then 1 mL of 0 M glucose was added to 4 flasks, 1 mL of 0.1 M glucose was added to another 4 flasks and a 3rd set of 4 flasks was given 1 mL of 0.2 M glucose.  After 8 hours, the number of cells in each flask was determined.
