the variable that is purposely changed by the experimenter.
In biology, the dependent variable is the factor being measured or tested in an experiment, and its value depends on the independent variable. The independent variable is the factor that is manipulated or controlled by the researcher to observe its effect on the dependent variable. For example, if studying the effect of different fertilizer amounts (independent variable) on plant growth, the plant growth measurements would be the dependent variable.
what you change and dependent variable is what you measure. :) Also, generally the independent variable goes on the x axis of any given graph, while the dependent goes on the y axis (except for specific types of graph characterized by their shape, such as rate of reaction graphs in chemistry)
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE -had AP biology last grade(10th)
The independent variable.
Changes in the independent variable are independent of changes in any other variable,
The independent variable.
Something that does not require something else to happen before it occurs e.g Light is independent But food requires light to exsist so it is dependant
the dependent variable changes with the independent variable. the independent variable only changes when changed by the experimenter. Time is usually an independent variable.
The Independent variable is the one you control. The dependent variable is controlled by the Independent Variable.
The independent variable of an experiment is the variable that you change, and the dependent variable is the result of the independent variable.
Math: Independent variable is what you change. Dependent variable is what you measure.
An independent variable is a factor that doesn't rely on anything, unlike the dependent variable (which relies on the independent variable). The most common independent variable is time.
