There's a new sports drink out called Swolade. You're running an experiment to see if plants will grow better if you water them with Swolade instead of water. You think the electrolytes in the sports drink will make the plants grow faster. In your experiment you have two identical sized garden beds. You plant corn in both garden beds. One garden bed is watered with regular water. The other garden bed is watered with Swolade. You measure the growth of the corn every two weeks in both beds.

Susie has two plants. Both are exposed to the same amount of sunlight, grown in the same kind of pot, and given the same nutrients in the soil. However, one plant receives deionized water containing vinegar, while the other plant receives deionized water only. The standard condition for this experiment is to water the plant without any added ingredients. At the beginning of the experiment, the height of both plants is determined. At the end of a 6-week period, the height of the plants is determined again.

Students in a biology laboratory course were growing pea plants for their genetics experiments. One lab group decided that since plants need water and nutrients to grow, they would test several nutrient-containing solutions diluted by 50% in water. They 'watered' each of their test plants with a different solution: milk, orange juice, soup, or pure water (control). After a week, they measured how tall their plants had grown. Were any of these solutions more beneficial to the plants than plain water? the soup broth was just as good as water, since it contains ions such as sodium and chloride no, none of them - they are all hypertonic to the plant cells the orange juice was the best, since it already contains the sugars that plants would normally make themselves yes, all of them - they are all isotonic to the plant cells the milk was better than the water, since it contains all the macromolecules

a student is performing a test in which she is trying to see if plants can grow when give coca-cola.she gives one plant water and one identical plant the same amount of coca-cola everyday for 2 weeks. what is the independent variable?
