Question

A student conducts an experiment to see how music affects plant growth. The student obtains four identical plants. Each one is potted in the same type of soil and receives the same amount of sunlight and water each day. Plant A listens to classical music for three hours each day. Plant B listens to rock music for three hours each day. Plant C listens to country music for three hours each day. Plant D does not listen to any music at all.

1. In the experiment described in the scenario, what's the variable?

A. The amount of water each plant receives
B. The amount of sunlight each plant receives
C. The type of soil in which each plant is potted
D. The type of music each plant listens to

Answer 1

Answer:b

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

D. The type of music each plant listens to

Step-by-step explanation:

The question indicates each plant is in the same soil (so cannot be C), received the same amount of sunlight (so cannot be B) and the same amount of water (cannot be A).

However, each plant is exposed to a different type of music, one is listening classical, another rock and another country music.

So, the only variable in here is the type of music each plant listens to.
