You run a series of carefully planned experiments to thoroughly test the hypothesis that rainforest plants grow faster in high light environments compared to in the shade. Your data and results do not support your hypothesis. Discuss how and why your conclusions from this experiment help further the progress of science.

You are testing the hypothesis that increased population density of a particular plant species increases the rate at which a pathogenic fungus infects the plant. Because the fungus causes visible scars on the leaves, you can easily determine whether a plant is infected. Design an experiment to test your hypothesis. Describe your experimental and control groups, how you would collect data, and what results you would see if your hypothesis is correct.
A plant in your garden is undersized and develops chlorotic leaves even though you fertilize it with a mixture that contains nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus. After determining that the plant receives enough sunlight for photosynthesis, you next decide to test whether some other aspect of its mineral nutrition is adequate. What specific hypothesis will your experiment test? How will your experimental design test the hypothesis?
Suppose you want to test the hypothesis that plants grow taller when they receive more sunlight identify an independent variable and a dependent variable for this investigation
