A medical researcher experimented with the effects of calcium intake on the healing time of broken bones. People who had
similar broken bone injuries were divided randomly into two groups, one of which received a calcium supplement and one of
which received a placebo. The data showed that there was no significant difference in healing times between the two groups, so
the researcher concluded that calcium intake has no effect on bone healing time. Why is the conclusion of the researcher not
justified?
The researcher did not use a control group.
The bone injuries in different people cannot be compared.
The overall calcium intake of the two groups was not considered.
The data can only give a statistical probability, so no conclusion can be made.

Animal bodies (and even plant bodies for that matter) are complex enough that life couldn't exist without enzymes. enzymes are usually large, complex biological catalysts that are expensive to make. enzymes speed up the rate of chemical reactions without being used up during the reaction (they can be reused many times). they are highly specific in the reactions they regulate. knowing what enzymes are and how they function, why does this explain why complex life forms could not exist if there were no enzymes.
