Consider these facts. The husband weighs 130 kg (286 pounds) and the wife weighs 65 kg (143 pounds). Their servings of pufferfish each contained 0.10 mg of tetrodotoxin. Using these data, find a method to calculate the dose of tetrodotoxin that each person received. What dose (in mg/kg) of tetrodotoxin did each receive?

A researcher is curious whether 30 minutes of daily exercise can decrease the blood glucose levels back to normal in patients with type 2 diabetes. What is the Independent and Dependent Variable of this experiment?
In a diagnostic examination of a patient’s thyroid, the patient, who weights 70 kg, is given a capsule containing 10 micro Ci 131I. Thirty percent of the radioiodine is rapidly taken up by the thyroid, whose weight is estimated as 30 g. Given that 1) the biological half-life of iodine in the thyroid is 120 days, 2) the radiological half-life 131I is 8 days, and 3) the average absorbed energy in the thyroid is 0.21 MeV per disintegration, calculate the a) effective half-life of the radioiodine in the thyroid, in days, b) effective turnover rate of the radioiodine in the thyroid, in percent day-1, c) mean residence time of the radioiodine in the thyroid, in days, d) time for 90% of the radioiodine to be cleared from the thyroid, and e) committed dose to the thyroid, in cGy
In Type 1 Diabetes, the body is unable to maintain homeostasis of blood glucose because the pancreas does not make insulin. Draw a graph to predict how blood glucose levels (mg/dl) would change with time in the 2 hours after consuming sugar in a person with Type 1 Diabetes versus a healthy person.

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…
An athlete tested positive for Methylhexaneamine in urine with a level of 0.90 µg/mL. At her appeal in the Court of Arbitration, she quotes a highly respected scientific publication that states that at levels of 1.0 µg/mL there is no performance enhancement. If the athlete’s levels are indeed below this threshold, the athlete can face a year’s suspension instead of a ban for life. Use the Estimate of Uncertainty to determine if the Athlete should be given a 1 year suspension or banned for life.
