Chapter 3, Problem 17TYK
SCIENTIFIC THINKING Another aspect of the Nurses’ Health Study introduced in Module 3.9 looked at the percentage of change in the risk of coronary heart disease associated with substituting one dietary component for another. These results estimated that replacement of 5% of energy from saturated fat in the diet with unsaturated fats would reduce the risk of heart disease by 42%, and that the replacement of 2% of energy from trans fat with unsaturated fats would reduce the risk by 53%. Explain what these numbers mean.

A recent newspaper article described a new bottled water that is “super charged” with oxygen. Since the body’s demand for oxygen increases as physical exertion increases, a university athletic coach thought that giving her athletes this oxygenated water would result in better performances. To test this idea, the coach divided her runners up into two groups. During practice, one group was given the super charged, oxygenated water to drink. The other group was given regular water. Both groups completed the same workout and drank the same amount of water (either oxygenated or unoxygenated). At the end of practice, she had all the athletes run 400 meters as fast as they could. She compared the times of the runners who had consumed regular water to those who had consumed the oxygenated water during practice. The coach found that the average time of the oxygenated water drinkers was significantly faster than that of the runners who had consumed regular water during practice. Which of…
1. The molecule in the food we eat contain substances stored in chemical bonds. Which statement BEST explains how this energy is released?
A. Cells extract and capture the energy in food molecules all at once, then store it for later use
B. Chemical bonds in food molecules are broken, releasing energy and allowing cells to use the energy to make ATP.
C. Cells burn food molecules, releasing energy as heat that powers movement while keeping the body at the correct temperature.
2. A student prepared a test tube containing yeast, glucose, and water. After 24 hours, the test tube was analyzed for the presence of several substances. What substance would the student expect to find if respiration occurred in the test tube?
A. Carbon Dioxide
B. Nitrogen
C. Starch
