Answer:

Independent variable

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, an independent variable is that variable which the experimenter changes or manipulates in order to effect an outcome. Only one independent variable should be tested at a time in a good experiment, all other variables should be kept constant. The initial independent variable in this experiment is TYPE OF SUBSTANCE put in the students' eyes.

However, according to the question, the researcher did not keep track of what they did in that free time. Hence, many of the people receiving the medicine spent their time outside and many of the people receiving the placebo spent their time inside. The location of every student should be a CONSTANT VARIABLE i.e. same for all students but now it has become an INDEPENDENT VARIABLE because it has been changed.

The principle difference between where salt marshes and mangrove forests grow is _______.
bekas [8.4K]
<span>Mangrove forests cannot withstand freezing temperature that is why they can only grow at tropical and subtropical latitudes whereas salt marshes grow in middle to high latitudes. Mangrove forests can be recognized by their tangle of roots that allow them to stand still on stilts above water. The roots of the mangrove trees slow the movement of tidal waters causing the sediments to settle out of water and build up the muddy bottom. For salt marshes, they are coastal wetlands that are flooded and drained by salt water brought by tidal waves. The difference between the two is that mangrove forests are woodlands and salt marshes are coastal wetlands. </span>
