What is the dependent variable in this
experiment?
DONE
Biologists designed an experiment to test
the effect of compost on the development
of root crops. They tested several different
crops, including carrots, potatoes, beets,
and onions. They grew most of the plants
in the greenhouse, but due to space issues,
they had to grow some outdoors. They gave
all the plants the same amount of compost.
They obtained the compost from a local
farmer and from the local hardware store.
They ran out of the farmer's compost, so
some of the plants received that compost
when the seeds were planted and other
plants got hardware store compost after
the plants had already started growing.
What is the independent variable in this
experiment?

"the plants had already started growing."

Explanation:

I think this is the answer because the definition of a dependent variable is the variable that is being affected by the change. Since the plants had already started growing BECAUSE of "They ran out of the farmer's compost, so

some of the plants received that compost

when the seeds were planted and other

plants got hardware store compost after

the plants had already started growing."
