Question

five groups of potted basil are watered different amounts each day: no water, 50 ml, 100 ml, 150 ml, and 200 ml of water. the number of leaves are counted at the end of the month. what is independent variable? type of plant amount of water number of leaves type of soil

Explanation:

In an experiment, the independent variable is the factor that is deliberately changed. Here, the amount of water given to the basil plants is being varied (no water, 50 mL, 100 mL, 150 mL, 200 mL). The number of leaves (dependent variable) is expected to change based on the amount of water. The type of plant and type of soil are likely kept constant (control variables).

Answer:

Amount of Water
