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.

- He reasons that a liter (about a quart) of water weighs 1000 g, whichis equivalent to 580,000 cal, or 580 kcal, of heat when lost as sweat.Therefore, instead of reducing his diet by 580 kcal/day, he believesthat losing a liter of sweat every day in the sauna will cause him tolose about a pound of fat a week. Will this approach work? Explain.arrow_forwardAnother student places some of the bread from their sandwich near these objects and leaves them overnight. The next day, they notice that some of the bread is gone and decide that these are living things and they ate the bread. Which is the best evaluation of their argument? (a) They are wrong, some living things eat food, but others get energy in other ways. (b) they are mostly wrong. Plants don’t need energy or food, they survive off of heat from light. These could be plants (c) They are somewhat correct. Some living things eat food, but others don’t need energy to survive (d) They are correct. All living things need energy and they must have eaten their bread.arrow_forwardPeople can actually die by attempting to remove all carbohydrates from their diets. Some twenty years ago a well-known diet (the Adkins-diet) was based on just such a philosophy; the complete removal of carbohydrates from ones' diet. While no statistics are available, relating to the numbers of individuals that actually died due to their adherence to the diet, it has been well established that the diet can and has caused the death of its' participants.

His work contributed to the understanding of how muscles work and how the ATP molecule provides energy to fuel a cell’s metabolism. He won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering Vitamin C. In an interview with the BBC in 1965, Szent –Gyorgyi offered the following about his work: I started with anatomy, but then shifted to function and physiology studying rabbits. But then I found rabbits too complicated and shifted to bacteriology, hoping to find the secrets of life in those very small, tiny creatures. But later I found bacteria too complicated and shifted to molecules and began to study chemistry—a few years later after the war I was even condemned to be the Professor of Chemistry and taught chemistry for many years! About 15 years ago I found molecules too complex and then I shifted to electrons and quantum mechanics—the behavior of electrons. So I went through the whole gambit of…arrow_forward
