Carnivores have shorter digestive systems than herbivores.
Carnivores have shorter digestive systems than herbivores.
Herbivores have shorter digestive systems than carnivores.
Herbivores have shorter digestive systems than carnivores.
The length of the digestive system is directly related to the weight of an animal.
Carnivores have shorter digestive systems than herbivores.
A farmer wants to test the affects of a pesticide on his peach crop yield, so he sprays an orchard with the pesticide treatment. A second orchard does not receive the pesticide. In the fall, the number of peaches harvested from each orchard is counted. Which of the following is the independent (manipulated) variable in the experiment?(1 point)

The correct answer is hypothesis.
To explain how to arrive at this answer, let's break down the information provided in the question.
The passage states that the absence of water could slow the growth of mold on bread slices. This statement presents a possible explanation or prediction about the effect of water on mold growth. In scientific terms, this prediction is called a hypothesis.
A hypothesis is an educated guess or proposed explanation that can be tested through experiments and evidence. It is an essential component of the scientific method. In this case, the hypothesis suggests that if water is absent, then mold growth on bread slices will slow down.
Therefore, the correct answer in this context is hypothesis.
