Measure plants of the same variety grown in environments that receive different amounts of light.
Measure plants of the same variety grown in environments that receive different amounts of light.

Plant seeds of the same variety in the same conditions and vary only the amount of light, then measure plant growth.
Plant seeds of the same variety in the same conditions and vary only the amount of light, then measure plant growth.

Measure plants receiving different amounts of light in their natural environments.

Answer 1

The best experimental procedure to provide evidence for the effect of light on plant growth is:

Plant seeds of the same variety in the same conditions and vary only the amount of light, then measure plant growth.

This approach minimizes other variables and focuses specifically on the effect of light on plant growth, ensuring that any observed differences in growth can be attributed to the varying light conditions.
