The Experiment
Saltwater plants of the same species were grown in soil in
separate containers with 1 liter of water. All of the plants
were the same height at the beginning of the experiment.
Different amounts of salt were dissolved in each container
as shown in the diagrams. All other conditions were held
constant. Measurements for the final height of each plant
are provided.
What is the problem being investigated by this
experiment?
