The sun's energy output is a maximum in the visible region of the spectrum. One biological reason we might expect or predict this fact is that
 
  A) it would be impossible for biological photosynthesis to occur if any other region dominated the solar spectrum, and thus plant life could not exist on Earth.
  B) the visible region comes right in the middle of the overall electromagnetic spectrum.
  C) visible radiation is the only type of solar radiation with enough energy to actually burn our skin.
  D) the human eye would be expected to evolve in such a way as to make use of the sun's main energy output.
  E) the visible region has the highest frequency.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
