When comparing two multivitamins in the store, you see that one has 500% of the daily value for
a particular vitamin, while the other has 100% of the daily value for that vitamin. Is the one with
500% of the daily value necessarily better for your health? Explain your answer.
Insulin is a hormone that regulates the glucose level in the blood. Today, human insulin with this exact same structure is produced in large quantities through genetic engineering for the treatment for 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?
