Answer:
Independent variable: LENGTH OF EXPOSURE TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT
Dependent variable: PRODUCTION OF FLOWERS
Control group: THE GROUP OF PLANT THAT WASN'T EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT i.e. 0 hours
Experimental group: THE GROUP OF PLANTS THAT WERE EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT
Constant: THE SAME PLANT SPECIES
Explanation:
Independent variable is the variable that the experimenter changes or manipulates in an experiment. In this experiment, the experimenter exposes the specific plant species to sunlight at different length of time, hence, the LENGTH OF EXPOSURE TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT is the independent variable.
Dependent variable is the variable which is measured in an experiment. In this experiment, the measured/dependent variable is the PRODUCTION RATE OF FLOWERS by the plant species.
Control group is the group in an experiment that does not receive the variable being tested. In this experience, the control group is THE GROUP OF PLANT THAT WASN'T EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT i.e. 0 hours
Experimental group is the group of am experiment that is exposed to the experimental treatment (sunlight). In this case, the experimental group is THE GROUP OF PLANTS THAT WERE EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT.
Constants are variables of an experiment that must be kept unchanged for all groups throughout the experiment in order not to affect the experiment's outcome. In this experiment, the constant is THE SAME PLANT SPECIES used,
