Victor made the graph shown to record the observations of an experiment to study the effect of soil additives on the growth of plants. Three identical plants having a
height of 25 cm were used for the experiment. The first plant had no soil additives, the second plant had wheat straw in the soil
, and the third plant had polymer in
the soil. All other growing conditions of the plants were kept constant.
