That is, there is no type of assessment tool that is perfect and provides everything we need to know about a child so we use both types. Which of the following is a  strength to using a direct standardized assessment tool, such as the PDMS-3?

True or False: During the initial examination for an epidemiological study, existing cases of coronary heart disease were identified in 5 per 1,000 men and 2 per 1,000 women. From this data, it would be reasonable to infer that men have a higher risk of developing coronary artery disease than women.

The figure below is from Vandputte, et al., Applied and Environmental Microbiology, January 2010, Vol. 76: p. 243-253 (no need to look at the paper). They used Chromobacterium violaceum (A) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (B) to examine the effects of the leaf and bark extracts (extracted using DMSO) from a tree (Combretum albiflorum). All of the wells have acyl homoserine lactones added and each row has three wells with the same samples (triplicate). The blue color in A is due to production of violacein, a pigment. The red color in B is due to pyocyanin production, a substance that is toxic to eukaryotic cells. The *** indicates this bar is significantly different from the DMSO (solvent control) bar. Question: What kind of system seems to be regulating the production of these colored substances? How does this system work? Why would they measure not only the production of the colored substances but also bacterial growth? What statement can you make regarding this figure? (What can you say about the leaf and bark extracts and which you would most prefer for what and why?)
