Sand is granular and coarse meaning that water and nutrients can flow through it quite easily. Clay on the other hand has very fine particles that cling together to form a waterproof substance which traps/ stops any nutrients or water from moving down. Clay's also quite difficult for plants to get their roots into. Silt has a texture between clay and sand, meaning that it is the ideal substance as it allows the best water and nutrition movement in the soil. Most plants will grow best in silt, but there are some plants who are more adapted to living in sand (e.g. Marram grass) or clay.

Answer:
color of light
Explanation:
<em>The independent variable is the variable that is supplied and often varied/manipulated by the researcher during the course of experiments. It is varied/manipulated in order to see the effect it will produce on another experimental variable - the dependent variable.</em>
In this case, out of all the variables supplied by Mary, only the color of light supplied was varied - red, white, green, and blue; other variables supplied were kept constant. Hence, <u>the independent variable is the color of light.</u>
