Previous research shows that, in humans, the pelvic opening tends to be wider in females than males

1. Generate a hypothesis about what cause this pattern (pelvis wider in females than in males).

2. Describe the type or types of data you would ideally collect to test this hypothesis

3. Describe what hypothesis data might support the hypothesis (For example, the hypothesis would be supported if we found data that indicated....)

4 Describe what hypothetical data might regret the hypothesis and how would you rewrite your hypothesis to account for your findings and begin again.

If the oxidation of glucose can produce flames, as seen when roasting a marshmallow over a campfire, why don’t we risk internal burns when we swallow a marshmallow and oxidize its glucose with cellular respiration?

Oxidation is not taking place. The marshmallow is being reduced.
The lining of our stomach prevents burning food from causing damage to our bodies
Digestion of the marshmallow is an endergonic process, therefore, no energy is released
Cellular respiration releases the energy from the glucose in small increments, rather than all at once.

What does an enzyme change in a reaction?
