· rate of growth · Soil porosity and absorption - If soil absorbs too much water, the plant "smothers," because no air pockets can form around the roots. (i think)
If you test only one variable then you know that the difference in the experimental and control setup is that one independent variable. If you test more than one you will not know which one made the difference.
Ancient Sunlight is essentially Oil and fossil fuels.
Most of the sunlight is during summer but during winter it probably averages 3-4 hours of sunlight a day.
in summer
They really need five which are sunlight, air, water, nutrients, soil.
No. Laser light is artificial light, but it is not sunlight.
Dependent variable is your data, independent variable is what you are testing. Ex. Sunlight would be the independent variable and a plants growth would be the dependent variable.
A dependent variable is a factor in an experiment that is influenced by another factor. An example might help to clarify. You are performing an experiment in which you are observing how sunlight affects plant height. Plant height is the dependent variable because it is dependent upon how much sunlight the plant receives. Sunlight is an example of an independent variable. It is not influenced by anything in this experiment, but may be changed to observe its effect on the dependent variable. It is possible to have more than one dependent variable in an experiment, but only one independent variable.
its either a constant or a control im not sure which one
The independent variable in an controlled experiment is what you are changing (for example, amount of water or sunlight a plant gets). The dependent variable changes because of the independent variable. Its the outcome of the independent variable.
sunlight
Sunlight because the artificial light doesn't allow the plant to photosynthesize better.
Direct sunlight is better than artificial sunlight for a number of reasons. One of the major reasons is because natural sunlight provides the body with much needed vitamin D.
Aim of an experiment to show that starch is produced in the presence of sunlight
artificial light
The dependent variable in an experiment is the thing that changes due to the experimentor changing the independent variable. Basically, its what you measure and record. For example: you create an experiment that observes the effects of the amount of sunlight on plants. You give one plant more sunlight than the other, leaving everything else exactly the same. That is your independent variable. Say you measure the height of each plant every week. Since the height is DEPENDENT on the amount of sunlight each plant got, the height is your dependent variable.
sunlight cause that is its natural light
