yes. the independent variable is what you're testing.
it can be a dependent variable depending on the experiment, however it could just as easily be the control if you keep it the same, or the independent if it is the variable you are manipulating rather than measuring. again it all depends on the experiment

Where does the manipulated variable go on a graph?
The independent variable is usually on the bottom, running horizontally. The dependent variable is usually vertical, on the left of the graph.
Examples of independent variables?
If y= 2x, then x is said to be an independent variable because you can choose what you like to calculate the dependant variable y . But someone could come along and say, Hey, I know what y is, and from his point of view he could calculate what x is, So from his point of view x would be a dependent variable and y the independent variable x=2/y. In general, the independent variables are the variables you use to calculate the answer, which is then the dependent variable.
What is the independent and dependent variable in miller-urey's experiment?
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE: gases introduced in the experimental chamber [Methane, Hydrogen and Ammonia). DEPENDENT VARIABLE: the outcomes of the experiment. CONTROL VARIABLE: the amount of gas introduced, the amount of water, the percentage of humidity in the chamber etc.
What is test variable?
The dependent variable , which is the one being measured.
What is the independent variable on graphs?
it is the variable that you change during an experiment and is placed on the x axis. for example, if you are checking for the effect of light intensity on water uptake by a plant, the independent variable is the different light intensity values that you have and the dependent variable is the rate of water uptake which will be on the y axis.
What is the dependent variable in a temperature experiment?
The Temperature is the Independent Variable (50 degrees, 100 Degrees etc.) Whatever happens as a result of the temperature change is the dependent variable.
What is a dependnent variable?
A dependent variable depends on the independent variable. If you are doing an experiment about how temperature affects the heat of water then the independent variable would be the temperature, as that is what you are going to change, and the dependent variable the water as the temperature of the water depends on the temperature surrounding it.
What is the dependent variable in a temperature test?
volume or temperature
How would you write a dependent and independent variable for growth of crystals in a faster rate depending on temperature?
Dependent variable: growth of crystals Independent variable: temperature.
What kind of variable is part of the experiment that is affected by the independent variable?
Dependent Variable the independent variable is the one you change to get the dependent variable. The control group is the thing that you leave the same throughout your experiment. Hint: You don't want too many independent variables, it will mess up the experiment.
What is an example of dependent value and an independent value?
If you measure the temperature every hour, then time is the independent variable (value), and temperature is the dependent variable (value).
Is temperature usually the independent variable?
No. It depends on the context. If you are studying solar gain in a building then the room temperature is a dependent variable. If you are studying the effects of diseases, the body temp is a dependent variable.
What is the temperature called when in an experiment you only change the temperature?
dependent variable
Suppose you set a glass of water in direct sunlight for 2 hours and measure its temperature every 10 minutes What would be your dependent variable and what would be your independent variable?
Independent variable is time; dependent variable is temperature.
Saturation Vapor Pressure is dependent on what variable?
Temperature
What is the dependent variable in an experiment that shows how the volum of gas changes with changes in temperature?
VolumeThe independent variable is the one you determine, and the dependent variable is the one you measure. In this case, you choose the temperature, and measure the volume.
Which of the following is the dependent variable in this experiment?
The independent variable is the one that the experimenter changes, and the dependent variable is the response. For example - if you were doing an experiment about the affect of temperature on growth rates: Temperature = Independent variable Growth = Dependent variable
