Independent variable? 2 Photosynthesis 3 Vacuoles 4 The variable that we keep the same in an experiment? 5 Plant and Animal cells 6 Many small vacuoles 7 Cellulose 8 Lysosomes 9 The variable that we make different in an experiment. The "cause" 10 Chlorophyll 11 The variable that we measure in an experiment. The effect 12 How does the amount of sunlight effect how long the leaves on a tree stay green? Controlled variable? 13 Large Central Water Vacuole 14 How does the amount of sunlight effect how long the leaves on a tree stay green? Dependent variable? 15 Chloroplasts 16 Cell Wall A process that plants use to convert the sun's energy into sugars that the plant can use. Controlled variable definition how much sun the tree gets The amount of water the the tree receives Organelles only found in animal cells that break down and digest food particles and worn out cell parts. Dependent variable definition A green pigment found in chloroplasts that help trap the sun's energy. Organelles found in animal cells that store food, water and waste. How long the leaves on a tree stay green An organelle found in plant cells that stores mainly water this helps create pressure that inflates the cell. A rigid layer of cellulose outside the cell membrane, that gives the plant and the cell, structure, and support. Independent variable definition Material that makes up the cell wall of a plant cell. An organelle found in plant cells that capture the sun's energy and convert the light energy into chemical energy. An organelle found in eukaryotic cells that store food, water and waste. Examples of eukaryotic cells
