HELP ME! Digestive and Excretory Lab Report
Instructions: Complete the Digestive and Excretory lab. Record your observations in the lab report below. You will submit your completed report.

Name and Title

Include your name, instructor's name, date, and name of lab.

Objective(s)

What was the main purpose of the lab?

Hypothesis

Select an option for each scenario:

If the subject without diabetes eats a high-carb food such as the candy bar or orange smoothie, then the blood glucose levels will (increase/decrease/stay the same) after a three-hour digestion period.

If the subject without diabetes eats a low-carb food such as the cheese or peanuts, then the blood glucose levels will (increase/decrease/stay the same) after a three-hour digestion period.

If the subject with type 1 diabetes eats a high-carb food such as the candy bar or orange smoothie, then the blood glucose levels will (increase/decrease/stay the same) after a three-hour digestion period.

If the subject with type 1 diabetes eats a low-carb food such as the cheese or peanuts, then the blood glucose levels will (increase/decrease/stay the same) after a three-hour digestion period.

Procedure

Carry out the procedures outlined in the virtual lab. In your own words, summarize the steps you used to completed the virtual assignment. Explain what the test (independent) variable was, and what the outcome (dependent) variable was.

Materials

No materials are needed. This lab is intended to be conducted virtually.

Data

Record the glucose meter reading in the table below for each of the trials.

Please note that blood glucose levels will vary from person to person, and the levels given here are examples only. The levels given for the person with type 1 diabetes are assuming that no extra insulin was injected to account for the carbohydrate intake.

Subject A (without diabetes)
Food type Starting blood glucose level (mg/dL) Blood glucose level after 1 hour (mg/dL) Blood glucose level after 2 hours (mg/dL) Blood glucose level after 3 hours (mg/dL)

Subject B (with type 1 diabetes)

Conclusion

Your conclusion will include a summary of the lab results and an interpretation of the results. Please write in complete sentences.

In your own words, explain the role of the digestive, endocrine, and excretory systems in maintaining homeostasis.
When there is an imbalance in a body system, and the body cannot maintain homeostasis, how might other systems respond?
Give an example of two other body systems that work together, and explain how they support each other.
