When running a gel you need to have a positive control and negative control. what do these mean and what are they each used for?

I believe the positive control receives a treatment with a known response, so that this positive response can be compared to the unknown response of the treatment. This is used in electrophoresis to compare the DNA strands to the DNA standard. The negative control is used when no response is expected, which is also used in the process of electrophoresis. Electrophoresis is a technique used in laboratories  in order to separate macromolecules based on size. It applies a negative charge so proteins move towards a positive charge. It is sued for the analysis of both DNA and RNA. 

Hunting in the darksome fish rely on senses beyond sight. in the darkness of the marianas trench, a fish called the rattail has an extremely sensitive sense of smell. the fish uses scent, rather than sight, to steer toward food. once it's near food, the rattail uses a special organ on the bottom of its chin to guide itself by feel.marine snowone staple of the deep sea diet is "marine snow," flakes of organic, edible substances that sink down from the upper ocean. animals at the ocean's bottom find sustenance in everything from the bodies of dead creatures to fecal matter. marine snow is diverse enough to support numerous species. for instance, several species of snails and worms feed exclusively on deceased whales.microorganismsthe deep sea is an intricate ecosystem, and even the ocean floor itself plays a part. hydrothermal vents are cracks in the sea floor where erupting magma mixes with ocean water to produce plumes of hot, sulfur-rich chemicals. some microbes can use these chemicals for energy, sustaining their existence and that of the animals who depend on their roles in the deep sea food chain.
