Question
Octopamine is a neurotransmitter in many species of invertebrates. In foraging bees, octopamine can influence how the bees obtain their food and it can determine their dance behavior, which is used as a form of communication between members of the colony. A study compared the difference in the water and nectar collected by two colonies of foraging bees that were treated with either a dose of octopamine or a control treatment.
Which of the following statements identifies the likely outcome of the two colonies?
A - Based on the decreased frequency of water foraging done by colony 1, it will have lower amounts of food stored within their hive than colony 2.
B - Based on the increased frequency of water foraging done by colony 2, it will have lower amounts of food stored within their hive than colony 1.
C - Bees that underwent octopamine treatment in colony 2 would produce greater amounts of food for their hive than those that underwent the treatment in colony 1.
D - Bees that were the control in colony 2 would produce greater amounts of food for their hive than those that underwent the treatment in colony 1.

At her appeal in the Court of Arbitration, she quotes a highly respected scientific publication that states that at levels of 1.0 µg/mL there is no performance enhancement. If the athlete’s levels are indeed below this threshold, the athlete can face a year’s suspension instead of a ban for life. Use the Estimate of Uncertainty to determine if the Athlete should be given a 1 year suspension or banned for life.arrow_forward
