Question

a student divides a garden into three sections to determine under which conditions bean plants grow best. the student ensures that each section of the garden receives the same amount of sunlight but varies the number of seeds planted in each section. the student records how many seeds germinated after two weeks.

according to the students observations, what can most likely be concluded about section 1 of the garden?
there is not enough sunlight for all of the seeds to germinate.
there is not enough space for all of the seeds to germinate.
there is not enough carbon dioxide for all of the seeds to germinate.
there is not enough water for all of the seeds to germinate.

Explanation:

The student ensured each garden - section had the same sunlight and water. Section 1 had the most seeds planted (100) compared to the other two sections (50 each). Fewer seeds germinated in Section 1. Since space is limited in a given area of the garden, with more seeds planted in Section 1, it is likely that there is not enough space for all of them to germinate.

Answer:

There is not enough space for all of the seeds to germinate.
