Researchers from the University of Alaska (2011) studied the differences in gene expression of bears during winter (hibernation) and summer. The graph below shows some of their results. The graph is a bit complicated in the specifics of the measurements on the x and y-axes but, to simplify it, think of the x-axis as time - the first half is during hibernation and the second half is outside hibernation). Think of the y-axis as the amount of fatty acids that are being broken down to produce energy. Enrichment plot: FATTY ACID B OXIDATION 08 07 00 05 Enrichment score (ES) 04 02 0.1 0.0 Hibernation Summer Time of Year 9. What can you conclude from the graph? A) Bears break down more fat during hibernation than during summer. B) Bears build more fat during the summer than hibernation. C) Bears make more energy during hibernation than summer. D) Hibernation is dangerous for bears. 10. If you had a similar graph for building of glucose molecules, what would you expect it to look like? A) similar pattern to the green line B) opposite to the green line (i.e., when the green line goes up it would go down) C) a flat line 11. Explain your answer to the previous question.
