1 multiple choice 1 point in an experiment testing how different amounts of sunlight affect plant growth, what is the independent variable? amount of sunlight time of day type of plant plant growth
In an experiment, the independent variable is the one that is manipulated or changed to observe its effect on another variable (the dependent variable). Here, the experiment tests how different amounts of sunlight affect plant growth. So the amount of sunlight is the variable being changed (independent), while plant growth is the dependent variable (what's being measured). Time of day and type of plant are not the focus of manipulation here for this specific experiment's independent variable.
