Why is it wrong to say B? Lines 3 and 4 on the data table show the OC activity doubles when peptide A is added.

If you look at Group 4 and 6, look at the difference on the OC activity.

I got this wrong because I put A. Compared to OB+OC+PA; it was paltry at activating it. So I got this wrong too.

So just by going off the fact that it causes a larger change you can conclude that? I see...most of the questions I get wrong are not content based they are usually these data interpretation questions which really screws me

Yes. That's how I usually work on data table problems like this. I got this right based off that.

Read the question prompt again. It says " what can be concluded about peptide A from EXPERIMENT 2." In experiment 2 there was no OC activity, only OB activity. Compare that to experiment 1 where there was OB activity and 0 osteoblatin, you can conclude that OB and Peptide A work together to make osteoblatin.

But you're talking about GROUP 2. Look at the top of the image, that is EXPERIMENT 2.

The key to the problem is to ignore the "Osteoblatin" column. Seriously, what the hell is that

 

[MrNeuro]

it has to do w/ the most significant effect 1 to 2 is a 100% increase where as 1/2 OC activity to 23 is >100% increase in activity most significant

the 1-2 is probably within a standard error or deviation of the mean aka usually insignificant

 

[bajoneswadup]

didn't it say in the passage it acts on OB by increasing osteoblastin which increases osteoclast activity

Yeah it did, don't worry I'm actually ******ed so it's ok.

Hey,

Im still confused on this I understand that it says it in the passage but do you understand how to conclude this off the table.

Thanks!!
