First, Sally obtains four identical green plants. Then, she places each plant in separate, but identical pots, with the same type and amount of soil. Although Sally gives each plant the same amount of water and Sun exposure each day, she changes the amount of fertilizer placed in each pot.

The correct answer is option A, that is, the number of yellow leaves.  

An independent variable refers to the variable, which is monitored or modified in a scientific experiment to examine the influences on the dependent variable. A dependent variable refers to the variable being measured and examined in a scientific test. Hence, in the given case, the number of leaves getting yellow is a dependent variable.  

Both the dependent and the independent variables may be observed in terms of the cause and effect.

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Option a) higher the average sea levels.

Explanation: Carbondioxide is also known as greenhouse gas. When carbondioxide concentration is higher in the atmosphere, it prevents the reflected sunlight from going into the atmosphere which increases the temperature of the surrounding air. This phenomenon is called global warming. This increase in temperature starts melting of ice which are present on mountains and thus, increases sea level.
