2. Study Summary: The aim of the study was to feed fruit flies (in the very young larval stage) a control diet or a high-sugar diet to see whether they became insulin resistant and obese (risk factors strongly associated with type 2 diabetes). Results showed that larvae on the high-sugar diet became insulin resistant, hyperglycemic, and fat (Palanker Musselman et al., 2011). A. Is the study quantitative or qualitative? (1 point) B. Is the primary purpose of the study to explore, describe, analyze, or predict? (1 point) C. Is the study experimental? (1 point) D. Name the independent and dependent variables. (4 points) 2.
