Short Answer
1. A study on rat metabolism is being conducted. There are 3 different groups of rats
involved.

Group 1 Group 2 Group 3

Diet rich in fat but normal in Diet rich in protein but Diet rich in carbohydrates
carbohydrates and protein normal in carbohydrates and and normal protein and fat
fat

a. The three groups are kept in identical environments with opportunities for physical
activity. Write a hypothesis, predicting the expected energy levels for each group for the
first 4 days of the experiment. Please explain your predictions. (A-4, 2-C)

3
b. You run the experiment for 20 days and then analyze the results. How do you expect the
three groups to compare in terms of body size/mass and general health? (A-4, 2-C)

2. Track athletes often say that the 400m sprint is much more exhausting and harder on
the legs than the 100m sprint. What type of respiration would a 400m sprinter rely
mostly on as they reach the end of the race? Explain. (A-4, 2-C)

3. Several anti-nuclear war protesters claim that inhabitants of the earth did not perish
from nuclear bombs or the radiation afterwards, that the people would slowly succumb
to changes brought on during the “nuclear winter”. During a “nuclear winter”, a lot of
dust would be drifting in the atmosphere causing the blockages of the sun’s
electromagnetic spectrum. Based on your knowledge of photosynthesis, what impact
would this have on humans that are still alive and why? (A-4, 2-C)
