Question 12 of 32

12. Question

A pet food company, Canine Tasty Meats, has gotten feedback from some customers saying that their dog prefers the chicken flavor, while other customers say the beef is better.

The CEO of Canine Tasty Meats is interested in learning if dogs are more attracted to kibble (dry food) made with chicken or beef. They hired a team of scientists to investigate this question.

The team recruits 100 mixed-breed dogs, each between 15 and 45 pounds, for their experiment. One by one, each dog is presented with two matching bowls, one with a cup of Chunky Chicken, and the other with a cup of Beefy Beef.

Both foods are moistened with 4 ounces of spring water. The observer records which bowl the dog sniffs first, and which bowl the dog tastes first.

Here are the results they recorded:

Food Type First Sniff First Taste

Chunky chicken 41 58

Beefy Beef 55 40

What is a possible flaw in this experiment? Select all that apply.

Question 18 of 32

18. Question

Homeostasis in the Body

There are many physiological processes in the body that help to maintain homeostasis. In one example, the pancreas, together with the circulatory system and liver, works to ensure that the serum glucose level is regulated to match the body’s metabolic needs.

After a meal, as the small intestine absorbs glucose obtained from breaking down carbohydrates, the glucose level in the body starts to rise.

The pancreas responds to the increase by releasing insulin from its beta islet cells. Insulin causes the body cells, including those in the muscles, to diffuse blood glucose into the cell’s cytosol.

Any excess serum glucose is stored in the liver as glycogen. As the blood glucose level returns to the normal range the pancreas receives negative feedback to stop producing insulin.

If the body begins to run out of serum glucose and the level drops too low, the pancreas will release glucagon from its alpha islet cells. This directs the liver to perform glycogenolysis, releasing the stored glycogen as glucose to provide cells with the means to produce ATP.

The body can also get energy from fatty acids. Together, these mechanisms ensure that the body maintains the correct levels for its physiological needs.

What is the main idea of this passage?

a. Glucose can take on different forms.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

b. Negative feedback is a process to help the body maintain homeostasis.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

c. We should eat more frequently so the body has enough glucose.
