jimmy and karen conducted an experiment comparing tomato plant growth and the amount of fertilizer applied to each plant. the plants were kept in the same location, received the same amount of water, and the pots contained the same type of soil. they concluded that the more fertilizer they applied, the better the plant growth. what comment would you make about their conclusion?
a) the conclusion matched the data.
b) they should omit the data for plant 5 and keep their original conclusion.
c) a better conclusion would be that fertilizer amount had no effect on plant growth.
d) the highest fertilizer rate resulted in a dead plant; they should change their conclusion.

Turtle hatchling survivorship rate is low in many turtle species due to predation. amanda researched the predatory rate on a species of turtle eggs in the red river. the eggs were harvested from trapped turtles and the egg's cloaca film (reproductive discharge) was either washed off or left on once gathered. research suggests that predators use the female's cloaca scent to locate the eggs. the eggs were only handled when wearing gloves and then reburied along islands where the turtles were trapped. the nests were monitored by cameras and manually on foot and data on nest predation were recorded. a. based on the experimental design, what is the dependent variable? b. based on the experimental design, what is the independent variable? c. based on the experimental design, what is the control?
