D. More collisions occur and the time required for the reaction decreases
This happens because according to collision theory, when energy (in this case, thermal energy) is applied to particles, they move/vibrate more quickly.
Answer:
Growth rate
Explanation:
The responding variable, also known as the DEPENDENT VARIABLE, is the variable that responds to changes or manipulations made to another variable (independent or manipulable variable) in the experiment. It is the measured variable of an experiment.
According to the hypothesis provided for this investigation, the scientist wants to determine if the amount of fertilizer plants of the same species receive will affect their growth rate when planted in the same condition. This shows that the independent variable is the amount of fertilizer to be used while the RESPONDING VARIABLE OR DEPENDENT VARIABLE is the GROWTH RATE OF THE PLANTS because it responds to the amount of fertilizer.
The questions tha science can answer are those can be tested to try to find a definite answer.
For example, whether light is wave or particle is matter of science.
Questions that cannot have a definite answer are the field of religion or philosophy, and are out of the boundaries of science.
For example, does a criminal deserve the punishment of not seeing light? It is a moral question, which to be responded needs the intervention of philosophy and that could have different anwers at different times and in different societies.
