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