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).
experimental group
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...

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.
The Control Group is not exposed to the tested variable.
can a independent variable be changed in a group
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.
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.
Experimental group has been exposed to the independent variable whereas the control group has not, and is often used to compare the experimental group's results against.
A control in an experiment is the subject not exposed to the independent variable, thereby determining whether the independent variable is the true cause of the results.
