The effect of temperature on the growth of bacteria was tested in an experiment.  Bacteria was placed in a petri dish using aseptic techniques, with controlled days, nutrient agar, as well as amount, type and source of bacteria. At the end of three trials per tempertature, the data was recorded as to how many bacterial colonies were present.  What was the responding variable in this experiment?

Fifty plants were tested in an experiment. The plants were divided into two groups of 50. All conditions remained constant, except that the first group was given Growmore fertilizer, while the second group was not. At the end of six weeks, the growth data was recorded.
