Excited about the fungus chemical's promise for treating cancer, you write up your experimental results and send the paper to a

prestigious scientific journal, hoping it will be published. The journal sends your paper out to several scientists for evaluation--a process known as peer review.
The reviewers identify several issues with the experimental design and data presented in your paper. Which of the following criticisms are valid issues of concern that peer reviewers might identify?
- The effect may not be real because we don't know if the results are reproducible.- The treatment kills cancer cells, but it might simply be a poison that kills all cells—even normal cells.- Cell samples were taken from too few patients.

Answer:

All of them

Explanation:

The effect may not be real because we don't know if the results are reproducible: Peers can identify flaws in the experimental design because an experiment must have a clear design in order to be reproducible by other researchers or else they would not have scientific validity.

The treatment kills cancer cells, but it might simply be a poison that kills all cells—even normal cells: It is possible that in the design of the experiment carried out only cancer cells were used but it had not been performed in healthy cells, which would imply the possibility that the fungus kills all the cells.

Cell samples were taken from too few patients: This may be another mistake because when only a small sample is analyzed it is not certain if the fungi are the ones that kill the cancer cells or are other conditions of the analyzed patient.

Briefly construct a 3-week workout routine that incorporates the fitness principle of overload.
vampirchik [111]
There are 3 fitness principles: overload, progression and specificity. 
According the principle of overload in order to improve, athletes must continually work harder as they their bodies adjust to existing workouts. This <span>is the basic sports fitness training concept.</span>
In the 3-week workout routine that incorporates the fitness principle of overload several things must be satisfied:loads should be gradually and progressively increased , the training loads should be  planed and monitored, the workout routine should include workouts that allow recovery (stretching for example), competition should be involved, and very important muscular failure should be avoided.

A student needs to prepare 250 mL of a 0.550 M aqueous solution of sucrose, C 12 H 22 O 11 ( aq ) , which is used frequently in
Grace [21]

Answer:

Dissolve 47.025 grams of sucrose in enough water to produce 250 ml of solution.

Explanation:

You need to prepare 250. mL of a 0.550 M aqueous solution of sucrose, C12H22O11 (aq),

which is used frequently in biological experiments.

Based on your answer above, what is the value of x?

Solution:

A 0.550 M aqueous solution contains 0.550 mole of sucrose per liter of solution.

250 ml = 0.250 liter

Thus a 0.250 liter of a 0.550 M aqueous solution of sucrose contains 0.250 * 0.550 = 0.1375 mole of sucrose

Recall:

Mass = number of moles * mass of 1 mole

mass of 1 mole of C12H22O11

= 12(12) + 1(22) + 16(11)

= 144 + 22 + 176

= 342 grams

Mass = 0.1375 * 342 = 47.025 grams of sucrose.

Dissolve 47.025 grams of sucrose in enough water to produce 250 ml of solution.
