Question

rsed susceptibility to the fungus (Zimmerman, 2009). Using the criteria in Lab Study B, Developing Hypotheses, select the hypothesis 3 you would pursue as a scientist and justify your choice. 2. "Grains of paradise" plants grow in the swampy region inhabited by the western lowland gorilla, make up 80-90% of their diet, and are even utilized in constructing their nests each night. Captive lowland gorillas in zoos are not fed grains of paradise, but rather have a complex diet of processed vitamin-rich food plus fruits and vegetables available in the marketplace. Recently scientists identified potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial compounds in grains of paradise that may hold the key to a puzzling question: "Why do western lowland gorillas in zoos have an alarmingly high rate of cardiomyopathy (a type of heart dis- ease)?" Hypothesize about the effect of diet (grains of paradise) on rates of heart disease. Describe a simple preliminary experiment to test your hypothesis, and state a prediction

Explanation / Answer

Ans = HYPOTHESIZE -: If the diet containing the gains of paradise leads to cardiomyopathy then, the rate of disease will be higher than the rate of gorillas who eat fruits and veggies.

EXPERIMENT -: Test gorillas who eat fruits and veggies with gorillas who eat fruits and veggies and compare results.

PREDICTION -: Gorillas who eat grains of paradise will get cancer.
