Which answer below reflects ecological interactions (All organisms, including humans, interact with their environment and other living organisms) and activities related to the Exam 4 experience?

All of the above

Which of the following statements best represents the problem solving and data analysis learning outcome (Science relies on empirical data, and such data must be analyzed, interpreted, and generalized in a rigorous manner) and processes utilized in this exam?

Creating a data analysis summary chart from my DWP generated information helped me further analyze, interpret, and generalize my findings

Assume that you ate an animal-based diet that was high in total fat and saturated fat, which of the following statements would be true in regards to science and society (The study of science provides explanations that have significant impact on society, including technological advancements, improvement of human life, and better understanding of human and other influences on the earth's environment)?

I would be at increased risk for heart disease the leading cause of death of Americans, and if i continue to eat this way it may contribute to increased societal costs associated with healthcare.

Which of the following statements is false for this experiment in regards to the integration of science (All natural phenomena are interrelated and share basic organizational principles. Scientific explanations obtained from different disciplines should be cohesive and integrated)?

Obtaining the caloric values and nutrient chemical composition of consumed foods and learning the calorie expenditure of tracked activities does not relate to the integration of science.

Which of the following statements is true regarding this experiment in regards to the nature of science (Scientific knowledge is based on evidence that is repeatedly examined, and can change with new information. Scientific explanations differ fundamentally from those that are not scientific)?

The scientific merit of the experiment conducted would be increased by repeatignthe entire experiment several times

If you chose to consume more processed, packaged, and fast foods, as compared to whole fresh unpackaged foods, you would have a more positive effect on the food system and society.

false

The type of experiment conducted for this exam can measure the change in heritable genetic composition of a population and thus predict future traits resulting from natural selection.

false

Which statement below best represents levels of organization (All life shares an organization that is based on molecules and cells and extends to organisms and ecosystems) as applied to your exam 4?

humans, composed of molecules, cells, tissue, and organ systems interact with living and nonliving natural surroundings

Which answer below is true regarding genetics and evolution (Shared genetic processes and evolution by natural selection are universal features of all life) and a person living in Utah who completed the exam 4 DWP analysis and had the result of deficient vitamin D intake level?

science has shown that humans can adapt to changing environment conditions over time such as with vitamin d self-synthesis, skin tone, and geographic location. living in a northern climate such as Utah leads to poor self-synthesis much of the year. having a deficient vitamin D intake level occurs from not consuming seafood, fortified foods, or mushrooms and increases my risk osteomalacia

A fruitarian has fewer ecological interactions than an omnivore.

true

According to the levels of organization, the various nutrients consumed in your diet would be considered molecules that affect you as a multicellular organism.

true

Calculating the percentage of your personalized DRI for dietary fiber and using the value to determine if your intake was adequate is an example of problem solving and data analysis.

true

If you consumed more Calories than you expended resulting in positive energy balance and fat weight gain, you could be said to have increased your potential energy.

true

Assume that over the two days you collected your diet and activity data that you were fasting/starving and consumed only water. Which statement below is true regarding metabolism and homeostasis (Living things obtain and use energy, and maintain homeostasis via organized chemical reactions known as metabolism)?

you were not maintaining homeostasis

The experiment that was conducted for this exam was a retrospective epidemiological study

false

. Your vitamin and mineral intake levels were compared to the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) values; the DRIs are based on scientific findings via the integration of science.

True
