Whether or not the plant is exposed to sunlight. Independent variables are manipulated by the experimentor, dependent variables react to the change in the independent variable.
The independent variable is the thing you change, the dependent variable is the variable that changes because of the independent variable, it could also be referred to as the effect, and the control group is the constant, the thing that stays the same and the variable that you compare your results to.
It depends on what you are looking at. If you want to look at changes in variable Y when a variable X is changed, then X is the independent variable and Y is the dependent. But if you want to look at changes in X which accompany changes in Y, then Y is the independent variable and X is the dependent.

An independent variable is the variable that the scientist changes, and the dependent variables are the variables that the scientist doesn't control. So that would mean that the independent variable is typically the variable being manipulated or changed and the dependent variable is the observed result of the independent variable being manipulated. The independent variable in a science experiment is the variable that you change on purpose. The independent variable is the variable that scientists manipulate in an experiment in order to determine its effect on a dependent variable. For example, if you wanted to see what affected frog deformities, you would set up an experiment where you would have frogs placed in the same environments as each other, except for one variable (independent) that is different. Let's say the control group gets exposed to all the same food, temperature, length of daylight, population density, etc., as the experimental group. The experimental group has the amount of UV exposure varied. The UV exposure (independent variable) would be used to determine its effects on frog deformities (dependent variable).
you have to decipher out what exactly it is saying buut... participants that are exposed to the independent variable are in the experimental group and the participants who are treated the same way as the experimental group, except that they are not exposed to the independent variable, make up the control group... any...

experimental group
The elements of experiments include the independent variable (manipulated by the researcher), dependent variable (outcome being measured), control group (not exposed to the independent variable), and experimental group (exposed to the independent variable). Variables can be independent (controlled by the researcher), dependent (measured to see the effect of the independent variable), or extraneous (unintended variables that can affect the results).
The control group is the group in an experiment that is not exposed to the independent variable being tested. Its purpose is to provide a baseline comparison for evaluating the effects of the independent variable on the treatment group.
the experimental group is exposed to the independent variable (X), then observations of the dependent variable (O) are made. No observations are made before the independent variable is introduced.
can a independent variable be changed in a group
The Control Group is not exposed to the tested variable.
That is the Control group.
The group that is exposed to the variable being tested in an experiment is called the experimental group. This group is compared to the control group, which is not exposed to the variable, in order to determine the effect of the variable on the outcome being measured.
In a controlled experiment, the group where the independent variable does not change is called the control group. This group serves as a baseline for comparison with the group where the independent variable is manipulated, helping researchers determine the effect of the independent variable.
Experiments typically involve:1) Experimental group: the group of subjects exposed to the variable being tested.2) Control group: should be as identical as possible to the experimental group, but is deliberately not exposed to the experimental variable - this provides a baseline measure from which the effect of the variable can be determined.
