Objective: Students will be able to identify the role of anti-oxidants in preventing the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

1	What disease are apples being tested for to examine their potential for cures?
	A)	Alzheimer’s
	B)	Muscular Dystrophy
	C)	Diabetes
	D)	Myasthenia Gravis
2	What quality do the apples have that qualifies them for this research?
	A)	They are low in calories
	B)	They have abundant cellulose fiber
	C)	They are rich in anti-oxidants
	D)	They can be grown with no pesticides
3	In the particular study discussed it was found that:
	A)	rat brains exposed to apple extract were 70-90% more resistant to oxidative stress caused by hydrogen peroxide.
	B)	rats fed a diet of only apples for three weeks were resistant to bacterial infection.
	C)	juvenile rats deprived of apples from their diet developed early onset diabetes.
	D)	rats given intravenous injections of apple juice were able to overcome muscular disorders.
4	The key question(s) that remain for this particular line of research is/are:
	A)	Do the beneficial compounds found in the apple extract actually make it from the stomach to the brain?
	B)	Whether this work actually is applicable to humans.
	C)	How many apples would be needed each day to have significant impact on the disease state.
	D)	Two of the above
	E)	All of the above
