The Florida skullcap is a flowering plant. Scientists carefully monitor this plant. In one area alone, scientists observed a change in the number of Florida skullcaps shown in the table. What reasoning could explain the increase in the number of Florida skull caps?
a decrease in the rate of seed germination
an increase in the number of pollinators in the area
a decrease in the number of pollen grains released by an anther
an increase in the number of cones produced to protect the seeds
Poison ivy grows in a wide range of habitats- from moist, shady areas to open, dry areas. The illustration shows a poison ivy plant. Poison ivy produces pollen during its life cycle. what evidence in this image supports this claim?

presence of a bee on the tiny flowers

Bella is studying how quickly a seed germinates. She keeps the soil, amount of light, and water the same. She puts one seed in a room that is 5°C, one in a room that is 10°C, one in a room that is 15°C, and the last seed in a room that is 20°C. What variable is she testing?
light
soil
temperature
water
Julian is testing how different substances added to water affect the rate of germination of bean seeds. He plants several beans and waters them all with different mixes. Which of the following is the control in his experiment?
seed watered with saltwater
seed watered with plain water
seed watered with sugar water
seed watered with vinegar water
Allie planted two seeds in the same soil but in different pots. she gave them the same amount of water and sunlight but kept the soils at different temperatures. What can Allie claim about how soil temperature affects the rate of germination of bean seeds?
The seeds grow faster at 2°C.
The seeds grow slower at 15°C.
The seeds grow faster at 15°C.
The temperature of the soil does not affect the rate of germination.
Henry's bean plants were about the same size. They had the same amounts of soil and sunlight. they were kept in the same room. The chart shows the total amount of water Henry gave each seed during the week and how much they grew. Now, he wants to know what he did that made the plants grow different heights. What information did Henry forget to record that could help him?
how tall the plants were when the week ended
how much water each plant recieved each day
how tall the plants were when the week started
how tall the plants were at both the beginning and end of the week
