Biology

please answer this question do properties of materials tell you how useful or harmful a product is? Explain your answer.

Lipids and Protein Design a Meal Create a healthy and unhealthy meal from a specific fast food restaurant; make sure to include an entrée, side, drink and dessert. Nutritional Analysis Write a nutritional analysis of the meal you have created (include macronutrients, key vitamins, minerals and any other nutrient worth mentioning); make sure to touch on the major macronutrients like carbs, protein and fat but also include sugar, fiber, sodium, cholesterol and any vitamin and minerals your meals may have. Reflection Discuss your reaction to the analysis for each meal; what did you think about each meal? What surprised you with regard to the nutrient levels/amounts? In this section, it is imperative that you compare the nutrient levels to the standard RDA’s and make comments such as “in the unhealthy meal, 40% of the total calories come from fat and considering the diet is only supposed to contain between 20-30% fat for the entire day, this meal is quite unhealthy”. Make sure to do this for both meals. Critical Thinking How will the above information (the details from the analysis) affect your future food choices? Will you still go to the restaurant; will you change what you will eat; what steps will you take with regard to your health in light of the details you examined from the analysis?

Cloning- Research cloning. Consider the following: How is the procedure done? What’s the difference between reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning?  What are the pros? What are the cons? Should it be regulated? Are there currently clones in the market now? Would a clone of a dead relative or pet have the same personality?  List at least one source from your research.

Answers the flowing question based on the attachment doc 1. Write down all the topics related to puberty or sex education you have assumed or learned to be “taboo.” In other words, what are some topics people believe should not be taught in schools? NEXT, watch the following video:  Sex Education: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) After watching the video, answer these questions.  2. What is the goal of sex education? 2. What age should it start? 3. What topics do YOU think to create a “good” sex education? 4.  Why does this video relate to adolescence and emerging adulthood?

There is always something new in the media about brains and evolution. It is both important and interesting to keep up with these findings in this class. This also presents an opportunity to consider how science is interpreted by the media and communicated to the general public.  You will write a paper (4 pages, double-spaced) that critically analyzes a news story that covers a recent scientific report. What does the media story get right? What does it get wrong? How are the findings framed for a general readership? You will present your ‘fake news’ critique to your discussion section.

Based on the attachment document answer the question    Provide the typical order of development of secondary sex characteristics in boys and girls. Then think critically: puberty involves the development of sexual maturation. Among the secondary  sex characteristics described in this chapter, which are viewed in your culture as enhancing sexual interest and attractiveness between males and females? Which are not?

Before posting, be sure to have read the 4 different origin stories provided in Module 2.  They reflect four different peoples’ explanations for the origin of the world and for humans in the world. To meet the standard for discussion postings, you must follow the instructions and answer all the questions below (completion criterion), substantiate your responses accurately (accuracy + substantiation), and be comparative (analysis).  By “substantiate” I mean that you relate your answer to the material you studied.  Give examples and make sure they are accurate examples.  Giving your opinion is not enough.  You must explain your views. For all discussions in this course that have multiple sections, be sure to label your discussion post with numbers to each of the sections/questions posed: 1. There are numerous themes that occur in more than one of these origin accounts.  Choose ONE theme and compare and contrast it across the different origin accounts.  (Hint: Recall that we social scientists look for patterns, so find something that is common in two or more accounts–not exactly the same but similar. Then describe what is similar [pattern] and what is also different about it [variation] in the accounts.) 2. Which account views human nature most negatively and why?  (Hint: are humans depicted as largely evil over good?  How and why?) 3. Which account is your favorite and why? Evaluation Criteria:  follow instructions/completion, substantiation, and analysis

Is sexuality research as valid and reliable as other areas of research? Explain

Explain your answer for all three cases below. A forest-breeding warbler that suffers poor nesting success in small, fragmented forest patches. A bighorn sheep that must move seasonally between mountains and lowlands A toad that lives in upland areas but travels cross-country to breed in localized pools each spring. the questions you just need to respond like complete sentences like I just need the answer to the questions that’s it just please write what question you talking about from what chapter This link is chapter 1 Let me know if you got questions

Please answer the following questions.  Carefully consider the function of the organelle and its overall impact on the cell.  Comment on each of the following to receive full credit:   Items to address: Points for each item: The function of the missing organelle 3 points Its overall impact on the cell 3 points Give 2 examples of limitations of the cell (i.e. What are some things the cell could no longer do?). 7 points Describe how this would impact the cell cycle (Could it still replicate DNA?  Could it still undergo mitosis?). 7 points Describe how this would impact the process of transcription and translation. 7 points  1. You have discovered a new cell that lacks mitochondria. Using the guidelines above, address what impact lack of mitochondria would have on the cell and its functions? (33 points) 2.   You have discovered a new cell that lacks ribosomes. Using the guidelines above, address what impact lack of mitochondria would have on the cell and its functions? (33 points) 3. You have discovered a new cell that lacks centrioles. Using the guidelines above, address what impact lack of mitochondria would have on the cell and its functions? (33 points)
