Questions and Answers

1.

Cactuses (cacti) were studies to determine if the amount of humidity affects the growth of the plants. Which of these was the independent variable in the study?
- A.
  
  Growth
- B.
  
  Sand
- C.
  
  Cactuses
- D.
  
  Humidity
Correct Answer
D. Humidity

Explanation
Independent variable: The variable you are studying. Since we want to know if HUMIDITY affects growth, HUMIDITY is the independent variable.

- A.
  
  Growth
- B.
  
  Sand
- C.
  
  Cacti
- D.
  
  Humidity
Correct Answer

3.

Look at the table below. Which variable factor(s) were kept constant?
- A.
  
  Water and temperature only
- B.
  
  Water, temperature, number of hours and relative humidity, only
- C.
  
  Number of plants, water, number of hours of daylight and relative humidity, only
- D.
  
  Number of plants, water, temperature, number of hours of daylight, relative humidity and number of leaves
- E.
  
  Number of plants, water, temperature, number of hours of daylight, relative humidity, only
Correct Answer
C. Number of plants, water, number of hours of daylight and relative humidity, only

Explanation
The table provided shows different variables, including number of plants, water, temperature, number of hours of daylight, and relative humidity. The question asks which variables were kept constant. The correct answer states that only the number of plants, water, number of hours of daylight, and relative humidity were kept constant. This means that the other variables, such as temperature and number of leaves, were not held constant and likely varied throughout the experiment.
