Create a Hypothesis regarding an experiment involving tomato plants and fertilizer. Name the Independent (Input/manipulated) and Dependent (Output/responding) variables.

Answer 1

Hypothesis:

"The application of organic fertilizer will result in taller and healthier tomato plants compared to those grown with no fertilizer or with synthetic fertilizer."

Independent Variable:

• Type of fertilizer used (organic fertilizer, synthetic fertilizer, no fertilizer)

Dependent Variables:

• Height of tomato plants (measured in centimeters)
• Overall health of the plants (assessed through leaf color, number of leaves, and fruit production)

This setup will allow for an examination of how different fertilizers impact the growth and health of tomato plants.
