Watching your mother bake bread, you learned that the dough of the bread rises because yeast acts on the sugar and releases gas.

Answer:
Independent variable: amount of sugar
Dependent variable: size of the loaf of bread

Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of sugar the mother adds is completely up to her, and the size of the loaf changes according to that, which is why the loaf size is the dependent variable
