You are a researcher seeking to determine if an experimental drug can effectively treat hyperglycemia, a condition characterized by excess glucose in the blood, often associated with Type I diabetes.  You select 24 hyperglycemia patients to study, and you give half of them a pill containing the drug you are testing and the other half a placebo (a pill that lacks the drug ingredient). After an evening of fasting, you measure the amount of glucose in their blood the next morning.  Write the null and alternative hypotheses appropriate for your study.  Which treatment is your control group, and why does your experimental design require a control group?  Describe the structure of a carbohydrate, and what are the functions of carbohydrates in the body?   What test that we have used before in lab could you use to measure the amount of glucose in their blood? Describe how you would use this test to measure the amounts of glucose in their blood serum samples.  Identify the dependent variable…
Can you answer all the parts to following question, true or false:  Q31:  A: Complex carbohydrates are broken down by carboxylases in both the mouth and the small intestine (True or False) B: Glycolysis requires the input of energy in order to release energy from glucose (True or False) C: Anorexic hormones signal the body that it is in a fed state (True or False) D: The dependence of hunger on the ratio between insulin and glucagon is an example of signal integration (True or False)
After a meal that contains carbohydrates, blood glucose levels usually rise gradually as carbohydrates are digested and the resulting monosaccharides are absorbed into the bloodstream. Suppose you run a test on a human with no lactase production. You would provide a dose (e.g., 25 grams) of lactose and measure changes in blood glucose levels over the next three hours. Predict how blood glucose levels would change from fasting to three hours. Justify your response using the results from the above simulation.
