You have formulated a hypothesis: Apples contain more vitamin C than oranges.To test your hypothesis you measure vitamin C levels in 20 oranges and 20 apples from trees that were grown in the same orchard under the same environmental conditions (temperature, rain, sunlight). This experiment was conducted twice. The control group in the experiment isA) type of soil, temperature, amount of rain and sunlight in the orchardB) vitamin C levelsC) orangesPage 3 of 11D) applesE) a large sample size and repeated experiment***Use the following information to answer questions 3, 4, 5 & 6 below***:A group of medical researchers investigated the effects of Drug X on lowering cholesterol levels in a group of men between the ages of 50 and 70 years old. The researchers did the following experiment and obtained the indicated results: One group of 150 men took a tablet containing Drug X for 3 weeks 95 of these men decreased their cholesterol levels by at least 10% (three men from this group dropped out of the study). Another group of 150 men was given a tablet with no added Drug X for 3 weeks 10 of these men decreased their cholesterol levels by at least 10% (two men from this group dropped out of the study).3. Which of the following is the best hypothesis for this experiment?A) Will drug X lower cholesterol levels in men between the age of 50 and 70 years?B) Drug X will lower cholesterol levels in men.C) Since high cholesterol levels significantly increases several health risks for men, drug X is most likely beneficial.D) Men between the age of 50 and 70 years will have reduced cholesterol levels if they take drug X over a 3 week period.E) There is no significant difference in cholesterol levels between men that take drug X and those that don’t take it.4. Which of the following was the control group in this experiment?A) the amount of Drug X contained in the tabletB) the number of participants in each group at the end of the experimentC) the group of participants that received tablets containing Drug XD) the group of participants that received tablets that did not contain Drug XE) the number of participants in each group at the beginning of the experiment5.

You are taking a cruise from California to Hawaii. About halfway there the ship begins to sink. You are able to board a lifeboat, but now you are floating in the ocean waiting to be rescued.

Give a specific example of how humans are damaging the environment. Explain how this environmental damage could be reduced or eliminated.2. Humans share 98% of their genes with chimpanzees, 90% with mice, 50% with fruit flies, and 37% with celery. Please explain the evolutionary significance of these data. Why do you think that many studies of the possible toxicity of new drugs are done on mice?3. The habitat of one species of tropical fish is red coral reefs. The large majority of the fish in this population are red. A few individual fish carry a mutation that prevents the production of the red pigment; as a result these individual fish are white. The temperature of the ocean where these fish live gets warmer and warmer over a 10 year period, and as a result the coral is bleached and turns white. Use what you have learned about natural selection to explain how this bleaching event may have affected the evolution this fish population (not including possible direct effects of warmer temperatures on the fish). Include the following terms in your explanation: differential reproduction, beneficial trait, allele frequency, selection pressure, evolution.4. Use what you have learned about energy transfer in food chains and the second law of thermodynamics to explain why it is an environmentally good choice to eat a plant based diet. Include the following terms in your answer: producer, herbivore, omnivore, trophic level, resources and energy.5. If researchers establish that Myrothecium verrucaria is an effective biological control agent against kudzu, they must then demonstrate that the pathogen will not harm desirable species such as soybeans (a close relative to kudzu). Describe an experiment that could fulfill this purpose, including all steps of the scientific method. Identify control(s), dependent and independent variables
