Question

1. when starch is digested, it is broken down into smaller units of sugar. the graph below represents data obtained from an experiment on starch digestion. which statement best describes point a and point b on the graph? 1 the concentration of sugars is greater at point a than it is at point b. 2 the concentration of sugars is greater at point b than it is at point a. 3 the starch concentration is the same at point a as it is at point b. 4 the starch concentration is greater at point b than it is at point a. 18. a great deal of information can now be obtained about the future health of people by examining the genetic makeup of their cells. there are concerns that this information could be used to deny an individual health insurance or employment. these concerns best illustrate that 1 scientific explanations depend upon evidence collected from a single source 2 scientific inquiry involves the collection of information from a large number of sources 3 acquiring too much knowledge in human genetics will discourage future research in that area

Explanation:

1. For the starch - digestion graph question: As starch is digested over time, it breaks down into sugar. The lower the starch concentration on the graph, the more sugar has been produced. Point B has a lower starch concentration than point A, meaning more sugar has been produced at point B.
2. For the genetic - information concern question: The concern about using genetic information to deny health insurance or employment shows how scientific knowledge (in human genetics) can have social and ethical implications.

Answer:

1. 2. The concentration of sugars is greater at point B than it is at point A.
2. No option is fully correct, but the concerns best relate to ethical and social implications of scientific knowledge rather than the options provided. If we must choose, none of the given options accurately capture the essence of the concerns, but the closest idea is that scientific knowledge has non - scientific (ethical, social) consequences which is not well - represented among the choices.
