emily wants to know how green, blue and red color light affects plant growth compared to natural light. (Hint: what light affects the plant the most) Form hypothesis and design an experiment. Make sure identify the control, independent (manipulated) variable and dependent (responding) variable. Be detailed

Red and blue colored lights are most effective for plant growth.

Plant Growth is the dependent variable and light color is the independent variable. The rest are control variables.

A Control variable is the part of the experiment that we keep the same throughout all of the test subjects. An independent variable does not depend on other variables and a dependent variable does.

Allow me to explain. When we perform an experiment, many factors that can change the results, For this reason, it is common practice to keep many of them the same for all test subjects (In this case for all of the plants). This way we know that if changes are measured, they were not caused by these variables. These are what we call control variables.

An independent variable does not depend on other variables to remain the same. For example, the species of plant would be an independent variable, given that a plant cannot change its species because of other factors.

A dependent variable does change according to other variables and is often what we try to measure. For this example given, the dependent variable is how much the plant will grow with each colored light.

Knowing that plants rely on light to produce the energy needed to grow, we can hypothesize that applying different colors of light will have an effect on plant growth. To test this, we can create an experiment where we use:

As control variables.

One group of plants will have blue light, another green, and another red. We can identify the color of light as an independent variable.

Since what we seek to measure is plant growth, we identify this as our dependent variable and measure it for each plant after a set amount of time, to compare results.

With this, you can confidently identify the control, dependent, and independent variables and how to use them in your experiment.

To learn more about experiments try:

relative dating involves things like higher layers are most recent than rocks lower in the sequence. this can be extended to the known sequence of fossils. rocks containing rabbit fossils are later than those containing dinosaur fossils.  

absolute dating methods mainly use radioactive elements that have known rates of decay and produce recognizable products. for example potassium 40 decays to produce argon. once a rock has solidified the argon is trapped. by measuring the argon and potassium0 you can get an accurate number for the age.  

some other methods are good for archaeological ages. dendrochronology involves recognizing the sequence of tree rings. the orientation of magnetized particles in baked clay can be used to date a fire.

hope this .. .

the answer is: reproductively

i think i spelled it wrong lol

anyways hope i
