Question

when experimenting with the growth (height) of a plant, a scientist uses three (of the same type of) plants, two different fertilizers, equal light, and equal water. what type of variable is the growth of the plant? compound variable independent variable dependent variable control variable

Explanation:

In an experiment, the dependent variable is what is being measured or observed. Here, the growth (height) of the plant is the outcome being studied, which depends on the type of fertilizer (independent variable) and other controlled factors (like light, water). So the growth of the plant is the dependent variable.

Answer:

dependent variable
