1. the subjects in the raw vegan diet group were sedentary and had been eating a low-calorie, low-protein vegan diet composed primarily of un-processed and un-cooked plant-derived foods for at least 2 years. the subjects in the endurance runners group ran an average of 48 miles per week for an average of 21 years. the subjects in the western diet group consisted of sedentary and non-obese subjects who ate a typical western diet (characterized by high intakes of red meat, sugary treats, high-fat foods, and refined grains). all subjects in the study were healthy adults. results of this study were published in the american journal of clinical nutrition in 2006.
a. the researchers found that the western diet group was more likely to have borderline-high to high blood pressure compared to the raw vegan diet group.
b) furthermore, 50 % of the western diet group had higher blood pressure than 75% of the endurance runners.
c) rа students in a statistics class were asked to summarize the results of the study.
2. which of the student statements is an appropriate summary?
a. a western diet is associated with higher blood pressure.
b. eating a western diet increases blood pressure.
c. a western diet is linked with a greater risk of high blood pressure.

The herpes viruses are important enveloped dna viruses that cause disease in vertebrates and in some invertebrates such as oysters. some of the human forms are herpes simplex virus (hsv) types i and ii, causing facial and genital lesions, and the varicella zoster virus (vsv), causing chicken pox and shingles. each of these three actively infects nervous tissue. primary infections are fairly mild, but the virus is not then cleared from the host; rather, viral genomes are maintained in cells in a latent phase. the virus can later reactivate, replicate again, and infect others. in electron micrographs of hsv infection, it can be seen that the intact virus initially reacts with cell surface proteoglycans, then with specific receptors. this is later followed by viral capsids docking with nuclear pores. afterward, the capsids go from being full to being "empty." which of the following best fits these observations? a) viral capsids are needed for the cell to become infected; only the capsids enter the nucleus. b) the viral envelope is not required for infectivity, since the envelope does not enter the nucleus. c) only the genetic material of the virus is involved in the cell's infectivity, and is injected like the genome of a phage. d) the viral envelope mediates entry into the cell, the capsid mediates entry into the nuclear membrane, and the genome is all that enters the nucleus.

Which of these is a fact about performance enhancing drugs? a. steroids lack addictive properties. b. steroids use can cause dangerous side effects. c. it is safe to use steroids when working out. d. a person can get in legal trouble for using steroids.
