1) Students in a science class created Eco columns to mimic a small ecosystem. Grass seeds were planted in 50 grams of potting s
oil, insect species were added, and 100 ml of water was administered. Which statement(s) are supported by the data in the table? Select ALL That apply.
A) The grass height was the dependent variable.
B) The grass height was the independent variable.
C) The presence of insects was the independent variable.
D) The presence of the water was the independent variable.
E) Intermediate numbers of insects had the greatest positive impact on grass growth.
E) Intermediate numbers of insects had the greatest positive impact on grass growth.
<h3>How insects affect the plant growth?</h3>
The grass height was the dependent variable because it depends on the nitrogenous waste of insects and presence of water. The numbers of insects had the greatest positive impact on grass growth because they provides nutrients to plant in the form of nitrogenous water so we can conclude that option B and E are the correct options.
