Question

A scientists sets up an experiment to see how colored lights affect the height of plant growth. He grows one group of plants in full sunlight, one group under red lights, one group under blue lights, and one group under green lights. All of the other variables are the same for the plants.

What is the dependent variable ?

Answer 1

i think the dependent variable would be the height of the plants because the height depends on the color of the light.

Answer 2

Answer;

-The dependent variable would be the height of the plants because the height depends on the color of the light.

- The independent variable would be the intensity of the light.

Explanation;

-An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable.

-A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment. The dependent variable is 'dependent' on the independent variable. As the experimenter changes the independent variable, the effect on the dependent variable is observed and recorded.
