Jenny wanted to plant sunflowers, but wasn't sure of the best place to plant them on her property - so she decided to investigate! Jenny planted 6 sunflowers where they would get sun all day, 6 where they would get some sun and some shade, and 6 where they would be in total shade all day. Jenny watered all of the sunflowers at the same time of day with the same amount of water. After 3 months Jenny measured how tall the sunflowers in each location were.
What is the hypothesis that Jenny was testing? Choose all that apply.
Question options:
A
Amount of water affects plant growth
B
Plant growth is affected by light exposure
C
Plant growth is affected by the time of day of watering
D
Amount of light affects plant growth because light is required for photosynthesis
