Answer to Problem 1MC

Solution:

(a) Complete oxidation of a molecule of sucrose to CO2 and water

Explanation of Solution

Oxidation is a chemical reaction that is defined as the fusion of oxygen with other elements. This reaction is most commonly seen in rusting of iron. Here, there is a gain of oxygen and loss of hydrogen. The breakdown of sucrose into carbon dioxide and water during the oxidation reaction generates 32 molecules of adenosine triphosphate and requires oxygen. It releases the maximum amount of heat. During conversion of ADP (adenosine diphosphate) to ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the ADP undergoes oxidation and releases water and ATP. The energy released is utilized for the cellular functions. During oxidation, the glucose molecules are cleaved into two pyruvates and without oxygen the pyruvate is converted into lactic acid. The glucose reacts with the oxygen and releases carbon dioxide and water. The energy released in this reaction is less.

Q8. A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills. This study is It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months. The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out. What type of bias is there in this study? If the company who makes the medication funds this research, what type of bias might exist in this research work?
