1-Thesis Statement for APA Argument Essay on an Environmental Issue:

Submit the thesis statement that you are planning to use in your argument paper.

Explain your thesis and approach to the topic and ask any questions you might have about the clarity and/or effectiveness of your thesis. What feedback would help you refine your thesis? Your post should be at least 150 words, including the thesis and your questions/comments about it.

2-Write a few sentences (about 100 words) integrating a quote from any of the articles that you will be using in your paper. Be sure to connect your quote to the rest of your sentences. You can do this via signal phrases (“Smith argues” OR “According to Smith,” etc) or by integrating your quote as it grammatically fits into your sentence. Document your quote by using the APA in-text citation guidelines you have studied in this lesson.

The allele For Color Blindness

/in /by

The allele for color blindness is inherited as a recessive allele. Using letter B (normal allele) and b (color blind allele)
Answer the questions below:

  1. What genotype will be normal
  2. What genotype will have color blindness
  3. Color blindness is found in about 8% of the population. Using the Hardy-Weinberg formula, determine the frequency of

a. Homozygote dominant

b. Heterozygote

c. Homozygote recessive

Mendels Laws and Darwins Theory

/in /by

2. Gregor Mendel derived the laws governing inheritance from his breeding of peas. Charles Darwin formalized the theory of evolution after observing that many organisms have traits making them uniquely adapted to the environment in which they lived. Briefly describe the relationship between Mendel’s laws and Darwin’s theory. How does each help us understand the other?

2. In a few words, describe your visualization of the plasma membrane according to the Fluid Mosaic Membrane Model

Directions Genetics

This unit is designed to introduce you to the fundamentals of genetics. You will work your way through both Mendelian and non-mendelian genetics problems with a goal of learning how genes are transmitted based on analysis of probabilities. In order to complete this unit, you will need to do the following:

  1. Download the reading/study guide for the unit.
  2. Read the textbook chapter 8 and work to find as many answers as possible on the study guide as you do the reading.
  3. Listen to the videos, take notes and use the notes to continue filling out the answers to the questions on the study guide.
  4. Do the genetics problems on the Genetics Problems worksheet. Make sure you know how to do these problems as there will be similar problems on Test 4.

** Note** You are expected to do your own work in this I will be using new test proctoring software to help identify cheating. Any communication with anyone else or any use of materials that have not been approved will result in a zero for the test or assignments and will require that you meet with the Dean of Students before I will be allowed to return to class.

Nature of Human Stress

/in /by

Read the text “Best self: Be you only better” by Mike Bayer (2019) and monitor your progress on selected semester-long goals. Goal examples can include things such as practicing kindness acts each day, moving from pessimistic to optimistic orientation perspectives, losing weight, living sober, stopping smoking, etc. The final assignment should include your method of keeping track of your goals and a 500 word (2 double spaced pages, 1 inch margin, 12 font) reflection of your journey, including your detailed thoughts about the book.

Coronavirus and Respiratory System

/in /by

Find an article to a pertinent current event (Coronavirus) and you should summarize the chosen article and relate it to knowledge of the Respiratory System (how it effects the body, etc.) Please be very specific when writing about the Respiratory system and also explain the article used as well. You could also explain the history of Corona.

Aim for 500-600 words double spaced

Enzyme Reactions

/in /by

A) Like last week, I want you to read through the Lab Activities and imagine that you are doing the labs. I will provide the data you will need to do the lab exercise and fill in the Skills Sheet and Lab report. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a cool virtual lab, like last weeks with the beakers and dialysis tubes…. But I was given this link below: Maye it will help you in “visualizing” the lab…

https://prezi.com/9vixq0mcjbbv/cellobiase-activity…

B) Lab detail to Note: For our experiment we have substituted the normal substrate cellobiose for a color changing substrate p-nitrophenyl glucopyranoside (PNG). When our enzyme hydrolyzes this substate and when a reactant (our STOP solution) is added the products of the reaction turn YELLOW. So, we can monitor the reaction by the production of yellow color. THE MORE YELLOW PRODUCED THE MORE REACTION TOOK PLACE. In other words, this is a color assay for enzyme activity.

C) Print out the Skill Check Worksheet Exercise 9: ENZYMES and, with it next to you, NOW you are ready to start the rest of the lab activities for this week Exercise 9:Intoroduction to Enzyme Reactions.

5. Fill out the Skill Check Worksheet Exercise 9: ENZYMES for your lab report. (Enzyme Skill Check with data)

the instructor has also attatched hints to the lab. dont copy everything from it but it will help.

Energy Enzymes Photosynthesis Respiration

/in /by

Metabolism can be thought of a the many reactions that occur in cells which provide the energy that is necessary to keep organisms alive. The reactions that occur in cells can be grouped into two categories; either anabolic, those reactions that take small, low energy molecules and build them into larger, higher energy molecules or catabolic reactions, those reactions that take large, high energy molecules and break them down to release energy which is captured in the molecule ATP. This ATP can then be used to provide energy to other anabolic reactions in the cell that require energy. All of these reactions in the cell are facilitated by enzymes, proteins that speed up the rate of reactions.

The next series of videos will walk you through all of the steps that can be thought of as part of the various metabolic processes that occur in living things. The processes that are covered here are only a small number of those that exist in cells, but are the ones that are at the core of the life of cells
