- In producing seeds, what specific method is being done?arrow_forwardJenny wanted to know whether the type of fertilizer she used affected how well her tomato plants grew. She wanted to test 3 fertilizers: Fertilizer A, B, and C. Jenny split up her garden into 3 sections and planted the same number of tomato plants in each section. When planted, all of the plants were the same height and all sections of the garden received the same amount of sunlight each day. Jenny used Fertilizer A in section 1 of the garden, Fertilizer B in section 2, and Fertilizer C in section 3 of the garden, ensuring that she used the same amount of fertilizer on each plant in each section of her garden. She watered the plants at the same time of day with the same amount of water for 3 months and then she measured how tall each of the plants in each section were. Which of the following is a confounding variable that could affect the results of the experiment if it is not controlled? Choose all that apply.

- 1 3 1 1 Homer Simpson loves to garden and wants to grow lots of pink flowers for his pal Moe. He bought a special Flower Power fertilizer to see if it will help plants produce more flowers. He plants two plants of the same size in separate containers with the same amount of potting soil. He places one plant in a sunny window and waters it every day with fertilized water. He places the other plant on a shelf in a closet and waters it with plain water every other day. The one without sun dies while the one with sun grows. 6. What is Homer's Independent Variable in the experiment? 7. What is the Dependent Variable in his experiment? 8. What is one constant you can identify in this experiment? 9. What is one error that could have occurred in this experiment? 10. What is one thing Homer could do to improve this experiment to test if the Flower Power fertilizer really worked? 11.
