You are an amateur gardener and are reading an article that explains that plants need only five basic factors for growth: sunlight, water, air, nutrients, and a substrate on which to grow (soil). You want to investigate the role that these variables play in plant growth. You decide to test the substrate and see if changing substrate mixes will affect plant growth. Match the following experimental components with their descriptions.
Experimental Components: ( Experimental Variable, Dependent Variable, Control Condition, Independent Variabe, A Confounding Variable That Must Be Held Constant)
1. type of substrate used:
2. growth resulting from substrate type
3. amount of water needed in all plants
4. substrate that is changed during the experiment
5. substrate that is not changed during the experiment
By choosing any 2 of the following topics/systems, discuss how does the animal and plant (name the animal and plant) works in maintaining their function in an environmental stress (name the stress) mentioned above.
a) Transport System
b) Digestive System
c) Respiratory System
d) Excretory System
You hypothesise that plants will grow faster if they receive more fertiliser. Briefly explain how you would experimentally test this hypothesis by describing the experimental and control groups, independent-, dependent- and control variables

If Urkle wants to test the effects of cold coffee on plant growth, he should water the plants in the other group with Dr. Pepper. If Urkle wants to test to test the effects of cold coffee on plant growth, he should water the plants in the other group with hot coffee. If Urkle wants to test the effects of cold coffee on plant growth, he can ignore the control group as long as he makes sure both groups get the same amount of sun.arrow_forward
