A botanist wants to determine if environmental temperature affects root growth. In her expirement, she creates 4
rooms at temperatures that vary by 5 degrees F. Each room gets 20 seedlings of the same species, which she grows
on agar plates for 60 days. Once a day, she measures the length of each seedling's root. At the end of 60 days, she
compares the length of the roots with the room temperature . She finds the room with the lowest temperature
produced the longest roots.
Which of the following is best identified as a hypothesis?
a. the environmental temperature can affect the growth of a plant's root.
b. plants need light to grow
c. a colder environment produces longer roots
d. plants need 60 days in order to grow their roots. - Correct Answer a. the environmental temperature can affect the
growth of a plant's root.

a veterinarian student designs a study to examine the nutritional qualities of dog food. She believes that a grain-free
diet can affect dog health. She selects 3 of the top-selling dog food brands for her study. From a local humane
society, she reveals several chihuahua puppies under the age of 1 year. She will track these puppies for the next
year and asses their health, including weight, complete blood count, and paw size. Three puppies will be be fed
, nothing but brand #1 dog food, 10 puppies will only be fed brand #2, and 10 puppies will only be fed brand #3 dog
food.
what is the independent variable in this experiment?
a. time
b. dog weight
c. dog species
d. dog food type - Correct Answer d. dog food type
