Android Studio: Are Library Project dependencies picked from project.properties?

Question

I have imported my project from ADT and after going to \"Module Settings\" and editing dependencies things are working fine. My \"build.gradle\" has dependencies block empty, So

Answer 1

Probably not, since a new project on Android Studio does not generate a project.properties file.

Presumably in Android Studio that is not where dependencies are coming from, but I can't be too sure.
