38. Question 21 Jasmine decided to see if different soda brands would affect the growth of plants. She took three identical sets of tomato plants, placed them all in the same area and gave each plant 10 ml. of water a day. Group A received no additional treatment. Group B got 2 ml of Coke, and Group C got 2 ml of Sprite. She measured average growth for 2 weeks. Group A grew an average of 5 cm, Group B grew an average of 7 cm, and Group C grew 5 cm.
