    The result that should be established is in the form

    y = f (x)

    where x, the amount of sunlight is the controlled (independent) variable,

    y = height (growth) that corresponds to the amount of sunlight. Therefore y depends on x.

    Clearly,

    x, the amount of sunlight is the independent variable. It can be controlled.

    y, the measured amount of growth is the dependent variable.

    Answer:

    The independent variable is the amount of sunlight.

    The dependent variable is the growth.
