- After being hired by a secret government, contracting company, you discovered they have the United States, Canadian, and Mexico contract for researching alien technology, and recovered bodies. Looking at old files – to catch up on what was done back in the 1950s (after the 1947 Roswell NM recovery of a “flying disc”), you find out that when provided a mixture of corn oil, sheep liver, and 3 carrots per day all of the sick aliens started to recover and got better. But, when they tried to feed them more than four carrots, per day, many of the aliens appear to have toxicity symptoms… They didn’t look well. Knowing what you know about the DRIs - Dietary Reference Intakes - you have determined that: 1. The RDA for Roswell Aliens was how many carrots per day? 2. The UL - upper limit for Roswell Aliens was how many carrots per day?arrow_forwardAccording to Aristotle’s rules, which of the following objects would be suitable for scientific inquiry? a brightly colored snake with one head B. a stationary object with a density of 0 grams/cm3 a moving object with infinite velocity a brightly colored snake with two heads a distant star that burns eternallyarrow_forwardWhat does not orbit the sunarrow_forward

We “control the variables” by making anything else that could change during the experiment into a constant. For example, if you are doing an experiment to find out what material can hold more water, then it is important to make sure all the materials you are testing are the same size. Why is it so important to control the variables? What would happen if we did not control them?arrow_forward4) if suppose a small quantity of it stored in liver, the size of liver increases with time due to the amount of lead and arsenic increases with time, even though the person do not exposed to it further (True/False) 5) statement 4 is wrong, since our liver can not produce these heavy metals (lead and arsenic) by it's own. these elements created in nuclear reactions which occurred during the big bang and inside the massive stars. (True/False) 6) None of the elements created in our body, our body just uses the elements from what we eat (True/False).arrow_forward
