我觉得不可以  
我查了一下oxford dictionary，发现depend on与dependent on的意思是不同的  dependent on没有单独抽象为词组的含义

dependent on
1（dependent on/upon) contingent on or determined by:
the various benefits will be dependent on length of service
2 requiring someone or something for financial or other support:
an economy heavily dependent on oil exports
3 unable to do without:
people dependent on drugs

Phrases
depending on
according to:
makes 8-10 burgers (depending on size)

当然，depend on也有类似dependent on的第一种用法，只是我觉得在这里解释为according to更合适

lz可以查查大型词典，看看这两个词的用法
