Does a controlled experiment have only one variable?

No, a controlled experiment can have more than one variable. However, in a controlled experiment, only one variable is intentionally changed (independent variable) to observe its effect on another variable (dependent variable), while all other variables are kept constant (controlled variables) to ensure the validity of the results.


What is the factor that changes in an experiment because of the manipulated variable?

REMEMBER:ReaDY MIX.....it helps me every time... MIX stands for Manipulated Independent X-axis......so the answer would be:Independent....hope this helps!:D Actually since the manipulated variable is independent the the factor that would change would be the responding variable which is the dependent variable so the answer would be: Dependent or Responding Variable


What is a controlled investigation in scientific terms?

A controlled investigation is an experiment where one variable is manipulated (independent variable) to observe its effect on another variable (dependent variable), while controlling for and monitoring other variables to ensure they do not influence the results. This helps to establish causal relationships between variables and reduce the impact of confounding factors on the results.


'Do Saguaro cactus gives oxygen'?

Yes, like all plants, Saguaro cacti undergo photosynthesis and produce oxygen as a byproduct. However, the amount of oxygen they produce is significantly lower compared to other types of plants due to their relatively small leaf surface area.

What type of vegetation is found in arid reliugous?

In arid regions, vegetation typically consists of plants adapted to low water availability, such as succulents (like cacti and agave), shrubs (like sagebrush and creosote bush), and grasses (like bunchgrasses and needlegrasses). These plants have developed specialized features to conserve water, such as deep root systems, waxy coatings, and reduced leaf surface area.
