The dependent variable is what changes because of the independent variable, while the independent variable is what is purposefully changed by the experimenter, since it is the variable that is being tested.
So, in this problem, you are purposefully changing the distance of the race to see whether or not the amount of time taken to complete the race will change because of the varying distances.
This means that purposefully changing the distance of the race is the independent variable that is being tested and that the amount of time that the runner takes to complete the race is the dependent variable because it changes due to the independent variable.
Sorry for being so wordy.
In short,
Independent variable- the one that's being tested and that is purposefully changed.
Dependent variable- the one that changes because of the independent variable.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
Answer:
THE GREAT SPERM RACE:
A sperm's race to fertilize an egg is not so easy. Out of about 250 million sperm ejaculated into the human vagina during intercourse, not more than one in a hundred will survive the Great race to the end due to the hurdles it has to face in the hostile, ACIDIC CHAMBER to the cervix (it has hundreds of tiny branching tunnels that can trap, crush and slowly kill sperm).
If ovulation is not occurring soon the sperm will "drown in a thick flow of cervical mucus
A sea breeze is most intense during mid to late afternoon
Answer:
Nitrogen cycle works through various stages like, nitrogen fixation, nitrification, assimilation, ammonification, denitrification etc. It is a building block for protein and DNA
Explanation:
Nitrogen is an element abundantly found in the atmosphere, also its building block for proteins as well as nucleic acid i.e. DNA formation. In nitrogen cycle , the nitrogen is being prepared from inert nitrogen. The nitrogen cycle has several processes like nitrogen fixation, in this the inert nitrogen is being converted to organic nitrogen with the help of certain micro-organism.
Nitrification, plants cannot absorb directly nitrogen so bacteria help the plants to convert the nitrogen into ammonia form in this stage. Assimilation, another stage in which plants starts absorbing various forms of nitrogen from the soil.i.e. nitrate, nitrite and ammonium. Ammonification, here plants and animals have nitrogen in there body after death various microbes help in decomposition in this stage. Denitrification, in this stage the return back of nitrogen takes place.
