POSSIBLE POINTS: 2 A student wondered if different types of plants would produce different amounts of oxygen. A pea plant, a fern, and a cactus were growing in equal-sized containers with equal amounts of soil. The student measured the amount of oxygen produced by each. Identify one factor (other than the size of the container and the amount of soil) that should be held constant in this experiment. Explain why this variable needs to be held constant.

The correct answer would be - the amount of water they get.

Explanation:

In any research or study, there are some variables other than the independent variable that can affect any experiment directly or directly. To avoid such conditions these variables are held constant.

In this case, the production of oxygen can be affected in all three plants due to various variables also such as the amount of soil, size of the container, amount of water all three different plant gets, and others.

Thus, the correct answer would be - the amount of water should be held constant.

not only is it colder, it also becomes darker, less salty, and more dense.

the answer is c. it will give up it's valence electron to the other atom.
