Question

in an experiment that tests how different fertilizers affect the growth of plants, the independent variable is the fertilizers, and the dependent variable is the growth of the plants. in a more specific experiment, if a farmer uses four different amounts of fertilizer on his corn plants and measures which fertilizer amount produces the most ears of corn, the independent variable is the different amounts of fertilizer and the dependent variable is the number of ears of corn produced by each plant. in an experiment that tests how plants grow based on different fertilizer levels, what would the dependent variable be? the soil used for growing the growth of the plants the water used for plants

Explanation:

In an experiment, the dependent variable is the outcome measured due to changes in the independent variable. Here, fertilizer levels (independent variable) affect plant growth, which is the measured outcome (dependent variable). Soil and water are controlled variables, not dependent.

Answer:

B. the growth of the plants
