A natural product is a chemical compound or substance produced by a living organismâthat is, found in nature. In the broadest sense, natural products include any substance produced by life.
Best Answer: An independent variable is basically a variable that can be any number. The dependent variable is the variable calculated from the independent variable. For example, I do contract work where I get paid for every hour of work I do in a given week. If I work more hours, my paycheck is bigger.
Therefore, in a formula, a dependent variable is not a variable that is implicitly a function of another (or several other) variables. An independent variable is a variable that is not dependent. The property of a variable to be dependent or independent depends often of the point of view and is not intrinsic.
