a pharmaceutical company has developed a new weight loss drug for women. preliminary tests show that the drug seems to be fairly effective in about 75% of test subjects. the drug company thinks that the drug might be most effective in overweight women, but they are unsure to whom they should market the product.

use the scientific method to address the pharmaceutical company's needs:

4a. state a research question

4b. conduct online research on "body mass index" categories. record pertinent information and cite your sources

4c. construct a testable hypothesis

4d. design an experiment to test the hypothesis. be as specific as possible in describing what will be observed or measured

Answers

Answer 1

In this case, the scientific method can be used to confirm weight loss in 75% of cases by a preclinical assay.

What is a research question?

A research question is a given question that can be solved by using the scientific method (e.g., can this drug be used to loss weight?).

A hypothesis is a given explanation of an observation from a question of the real world (in this case, the target drug is effective 75% of cases).

The experimental procedure, in this case, may involve taking two sample populations and supplying the target drug to one to observe if is statistically associated with weight loss.

In conclusion, in this case, the scientific method can be used to confirm weight loss in 75% of cases by a preclinical assay.

How much oil could be saved if home temperatures were lowered by six degrees?

Answers

Oils are lipids which are soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in polar solvents such as water. For saving on heating oil prices is to knock the lowering down temperature a few degrees. The Department of Energy research reports that for every degree cooler we can save between 1-3%.

what is polar and non polar solvent?

Polar solvents have large dipole moments because they contain bonds between atoms with different electronegativity, such as hydrogen and oxygen.

Non polar solvents forms bonds between atoms with similar electronegativity, such as hydrogen and carbon.

[IMAGE TWO]
How did the color of the trees in the squirrels’ environment change? Explain what happened to the squirrels over many generations.

Answers

Answer:

The gray squirrels were easy to see and catch so they died quickly and the population dwindled. The brown squirrels were probably almost the same color as the tree so they were harder to see and catch. The remaining gray squirrels ended up having no other options than to mate with brown squirrels, which probably made appear black squirrels and since the black squirrels population raised, means they are harder to see and be caught by foxes.

4) Second-level carnivores: larger fish

2) Herbivore: zooplankton and cockles

1) Primary producers: phytoplankton and seaweed

- Sun provides energy to producers

What is lost to the environment at each of the trophic levels of this ecosystem?

In a trophic web, 10% of a link's energy is transferred to the following link, and the other 90% dissipates to the environment as heat. The answer is heat.

What is the trophic web?

The trophic web is the interaction between different organisms involving transference of energy when some of them feed on the other ones.

The ones placed at lower levels pass energy to the ones at the higher levels.

Organisms at each level feed on the preceding one and become food for the next one.

The first link corresponds to a producer organism -autotroph-.

The following links are the consumers -heter0trophs-: herbivores and carnivores.

The last links are the decomposers that degrade organic matter from dead organisms.

Because it is a web, all organisms are in equilibrium until a change occurs. When a sudden change affects any of the involved links, there can be a cascade effect on the web.

Any change in a link population size (increasing or decreasing) will affect the superior links and the immediately anterior link.

What is the 10% rule?

From the energy that reaches the Earth's surface, only 0.1 or 1% is absorbed by autotroph organisms.

This small percentage of energy flows through all organisms in the ecosystem -from autotrophs to heter0trophs- until it dissipates in the environment.

Only 10% of energy is transferred from one level to the next one. The remaining 90% is dissipated as heat to the environment. This assessment is called The 10% rule.

This rule states that only about 10% of the energy stored as biomass at one trophic level, ends up as biomass at the next trophic level.

The progressive reduction of energy determines the number of trophic levels (4 or 5).

Heat is lost to the environment at each of the trophic levels of this ecosystem.
