Detailed explanation-1: -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. They are also grown in the same sized pot and given an equal amount of water.
Detailed explanation-2: -The plant-growth experiment is an example of a factorial experiment. A factorial experiment consists of several factors (seed, water) which are set at different levels, and a response variable (plant height).
Detailed explanation-3: -When experimenting with the growth of a plant, a scientist uses three (of the same type of) plants, two different fertilizers, equal light, and equal water. What type of variable is the fertilizer? Independent.
