dependent/responding variable
the dependent variable is the measured variable . It is also a factor or condition which changes corresponding to the change in the IV. it is also called the responding variable and it is the variable of which the value is measured for every change in the independent variable
controlled/constant variable
the controlled variable is one which may, in addition to the independent variable, affect the outcome of the experiment and therefore has to be kept constant. Although it is not studied, it affects the dependent variable as well.
