Mr. Fede runs an experiment to see if eating fatty foods raises cholesterol He uses two groups of rabbits, one that gets fed a high fat diet, and one that does not. The groups are not different in any other way. After several days, and upon comparing the cholesterol level of both groups, he finds that the high fat diet group has higher levels. He concludes that eating fatty foods is bad for people. Has Mr. Fede come to a good conclusion? Explain why or why not, including

The hormone insulin enhances the transport of glucose (sugar) from the blood into most body cells. Its secretion is controlled by a negative-feedback system between the concentration of glucose in the blood and the insulin-secreting cells. Therefore, which of the following statements is correct? A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further towers blood glucose concentration. An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn lowers blood glucose concentration. A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn increases blood glucose concentration. An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further increases blood glucose concentration. None of the preceding is correct.

The passage proposes that there are quantitative “laws” of biology that have their basis in physical principles, using the scaling of specific metabolic rate with body mass as an example. Which of the following regularities among animals might also be an example of such a “law”?A. As a group, birds have better color vision than mammals.B. Reptiles have a much lower specific metabolic rate than mammals.C. Predators tend to have very good binocular vision; prey animals tend to be able to see over a very wide angle.D. Jump height varies very little among animals. Nearly all animals, ranging in size from a flea to a horse, have a maximum vertical leap that is quite similar.
