Question
Chapter 23, Problem 14PS
Summary Introduction
To evaluate: The scientific evidence for the assumption that electronic cigarette smoking is a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes.
Concept introduction:
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) involve the use of a device that does not involve combustion of tobacco. The components including nicotine are aerosolised to turn into vapors that can be inhaled. It is also known as ‘vaping’.

I am working on the scientific method and am confused on what a controlled variable is and what controlled treatment is?
I am also struggling to find the hypothesis to the following scenario:
Esther became interested in insulating while her parents new house was being built. She decided to determine which insulation transfer the least heat. She filled each of five jars half full with water. She sealed each jar with a plastic lid. Then she wrapped each jar with a different kind of insulation. She put the jars outside in direct sunlight. Later, she measured the temperature of the water and Jar.

(Choose the best answer) The retrospective data showed that smoking or not was a difference in past habits between those with cancer and those without. Patients who had lung cancer were 17 times to 1 more likely to smoke more than 2 packs a day. In a prospective study, researchers surveyed two hundred thousand people about their smoking habits and then kept track of them for 4 years. The data indicated that people who smoke cigarettes had a lung cancer rate that was 10 times larger than those who had never smoked. Rsearchers in a lab painted tar on animals and tracked whether they got cancerwhile controlling for all extraneous variables. The animals they covered in tar were more likely to contract cancer.

- Serial dilution is a core practice of the alternative medicine called “Homeopathy”. Practitioners of homeopathy claim that by using repeated 100-fold dilutions of a substance they can increase the potency/strength of the substance increasing its medicinal value.

Should we conduct clinical trials on humans at all? Who should participate and is it truly possible to obtain informed consent? Should people with deadly diseases facing certain deaths have to wait for a clinical trial to test the efficacy of the drug if it shows to be promising in a lab? Would you consider this to be denying someone a treatment that "can't hurt" but can only help?arrow_forwardScientists were studying the effects exercise (running on a treadmill) has on the amount CO2 production and breathing rates on humans. Their conclusion was that a person who just completed a bout of exercise would have higher CO2 production and increased breathing rates when compared to when they were sitting in a chair. They also found that CO2 production and breathing rates would increase the longer they exercised. Based upon what we know about cellular respiration and energy production, select the reason that best explains the results of the testing above, CO2 production increases because CO2 is being made in the electron transport chain to keep the electrons moving. Breathing rates will increase in order to get rid of the lactic acid from working muscles. CO2 production increases because more of this is made as a direct result of glucose being split for energy. Breathing rates will increase with exercise in order to supply the muscles with more O2. Nearrow_forward
