A student conducted an experiment to test whether talking to plants would help them to grow faster. The student talked to one group of plants and hand watered them. The student did not talk to the other group of plants and used sprinklers. After three weeks, the plants that were spoken to showed much more growth than the plants that were not. Based on the results of this experiment, which is the best conclusion?
Answers
There are number of theories related to this.
Talking causes wave vibrations that may stimulate the plant growth.
Also as humans talk we release more co2 which can be used by plants for it's photosynthesis process thereby growing much faster.
The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
1. Talking to plants may or may not help plants grow faster because three weeks is not enough time to tell.
2. Talking to plants may or may not help plants grow faster because the amount of water given was likely different for each group.
3. Talking to plants does not help plants grow faster because the experiment did not involve enough groups of plants to determine this.
4. Talking to plants does help plants grow faster because those plants showed more growth.
Answer:
Option-2
Explanation:
- In the given question, it is provided that the experiment was performed to test the effect of talking on the growth of the plant.
- This shows that the growth of the plant is the dependent variable but it also depends on the other factors like the amount of water which has to be kept constant but is not kept constant.
- One group of the plant was watered with the hand while the other with the sprinklers which could have interfered with the growth of the plant.
- Thus, Option-2 is the correct answer.
