Use this experiment to answer the question below. Experiment Summary: Effects of Light on Plant Growth Background:Plants require light to perform photosynthesis, the process by which they convert sunlight into chemical energy. Scientists hypothesize that the amount of light exposure affects the growth rate and health of plants. Objective:To investigate how different light conditions influence the growth of bean seedlings. Materials: Bean seeds (Phaseolus vulgaris) Planting pots with soil Water Ruler Light sources: full sunlight, partial light, and complete darkness Labels Procedure: Plant three groups of bean seeds in identical pots with soil. Each group contains five seeds. Place each group in different light conditions: Group A: Full sunlight Group B: Partial light (50% sunlight) Group C: Complete darkness Water all groups equally every day. Measure plant height every 2 days for 2 weeks. Record observations of leaf color, stem strength, and general plant health. Results: Group A (full sunlight) showed the highest growth rate, with strong stems and green leaves. Group B (partial light) grew slower, with slightly paler leaves. Group C (darkness) showed minimal growth, yellowing leaves, and weak stems. Conclusion:Plants exposed to more light exhibit higher growth rates and better overall health. Light is essential for photosynthesis, which supports plant growth. Q: If a student wanted to test the effect of fertilizer as well, which type of experimental design would be most appropriate?
