Base your answers to questions 7 through 9 on the histograms below and on your knowledge of biology. Students in a class recorded their resting pulse rates and their pulse rates immediately after strenuous activity. The data obtained are shown in the histograms below.

  1. State one biological explanation for the fact that not all students had the same resting pulse rate. A) remained the same B) decreased C) decreased and leveled off D) increased
  2. According to the data, compared to the average resting pulse rate, the average pulse rate immediately after strenuous activity generally A) Number of Students B) Amount of Exercise C) Time (min) D) Average Number of Heartbeats
  3. An appropriate label for the y -axis in each histogram would be
  1. Base your answer to the following question on the information below and on your knowledge of biology. A student squeezes and releases a clothespin as often as possible for 2 minutes and then takes his pulse for 20 seconds. After a 2-minute rest, he repeats the procedure. This pattern is repeated one more time.The studentโ€™s 20-second pulse counts were 23, 26, and 21. Complete the โ€œPulse/Minโ€ column in the data table below for all three trials as well as the average pulse rate per minute.
  2. A student hypothesizes that the pulse rate of a person and background music that is playing are related. The student designs an experiment to test this hypothesis. What would be an appropriate control for this experiment? Base your answers to questions 15 through 18 on the data table below and on your knowledge of biology. A group of students obtained the following data:
  3. The activity of which body system was measured to obtain these data?
  4. The activity of which other body system would be altered as a direct result of the exercise?
  5. What effect would exercise have on the system you identified in the previous question?
  6. Explain how this change in pulse rate helps maintain homeostasis in muscle cells.
  1. On a television talk show, a guest claims that people who exercise vigorously for 15 minutes or more every day are able to solve math problems more rapidly than people who have no vigorous exercise in their daily routine. Describe a controlled experiment that could be conducted to test this claim. In your description be sure to:
    • state the purpose of the experiment
    • state why the sample to be used should be large
    • describe how the experimental group will be treated and how the control group will be treated
    • state the specific data to be collected during the experiment
    • state one way to determine if the results support the claim

  1. Examples : โ€ข Determine if exercise improves the rate at which math problems are solved. โ€” Test the guestโ€™s claim.
    • A large sample size will increase the validity/reliability of the experiment.
    • one group (the experimental group) will exercise and the other group (the control group) will not exercise.
    • speed of solving math problems โ€” number of math problems solved in a certain amount of time โ€” how fast math problems can be solved
    • See if the experimental group solves math problems more rapidly than the control group. โ€” Compare the number of math problems solved by the experimental and control groups in a given time period.
