Experiment:Do roses grow more in height in partial or direct sunlight?The growth height is the ____ variable.
A
independent
B
dependent
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Consequently, height is the independent variable on the horizontal axis, and weight is the dependent variable on the vertical axis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Let’s say that we were measuring how tall a plant grew over time. In this scenario, time is an independent variable because it does not depend on anything else for it to occur, it just happens on its own. This is different from the dependent variable: the plant’s height.

Detailed explanation-3: -In this experiment, the addition of fertilizer is the independent variable manipulated by the scientist. Plant height is the dependent variable that responds to the change in the independent variable. Each plant is exposed to an equal amount of sunlight, so sunlight is the control variable.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the plant experiment, the independent variable could be fertilizer-some plants will get fertilizer, others will not. If the amount of sunlight is increased, then plant growth will increase.
