Question

Is the statement, "In most biology expieriments, the relationship between independent and dependent variable can best be described as cause and effect," True or False?Why

Answer 1

True.

The independent variable is the one thing that you change in the experiment. It's the factor that you are testing. (Example: the amount of light, the type of food, the pH of the water, and so on.)

The dependent variable is what you count, measure, or otherwise record as data. It happened because of the independent variable. (Example: height of the plant, weight of the fish, color of the leaf, ...)

So the independent variable caused the dependent variable.
