Which experimental procedure would provide the best evidence for the effect of light on plant growth?(1 point)
Responses

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

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

The best evidence for the effect of light on plant growth would be obtained by:

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

This method ensures that all other variables (such as soil type, water, temperature, etc.) are held constant while only the amount of light is varied, allowing for a clear understanding of its specific effect on growth.

The statement that best explains the observation that the fish are smaller this year than they had been the previous year is:

**There was less food available in the pond this year than last year.**

Limited food availability would directly impact the growth and size of the fish, leading to smaller fish compared to previous years when more food was available.

The environmental need that the plant is most likely lacking is:

**sunlight.**

Plants generally require sunlight for photosynthesis, and growing poorly in the shadow of a building suggests that they are not receiving adequate light.

The first step in solving for \( x \) in the equation \( 5.6(x + 1.42) = 7.8 \) is:

**Divide both sides by 5.6.**

This step isolates the term containing \( x \) by eliminating the coefficient in front of it. After dividing, you can then proceed to further isolate \( x \).
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The second step in solving for \( n \) in the equation \( 5.6(n + 1.42) = 7.8 \) after dividing both sides by 5.6 is:

**Subtract 1.42 from both sides.**

After you've divided the equation by 5.6, you'll have \( n + 1.42 = \frac{7.8}{5.6} \). The next step is to isolate \( n \) by subtracting 1.42 from both sides.

The first step in solving for \( x \) in the equation \( 9.8(x - 2.14) = 53.9 \) is:

**Divide both sides by 9.8.**

This step simplifies the equation by isolating the term containing \( x \) on one side of the equation, so you can continue to solve for \( x \). After dividing, you would have \( x - 2.14 = \frac{53.9}{9.8} \).
