Modern medical science has allowed people who have been blind for their entire life to have their sight restored. When sight is restored do you think that these people will immediately see in the same way as someone who has never lost their sight? What components of the visual system would affect what the person sees in this situation and how they interpret it?

Choose an aquatic or terrestrial ecosystem that is in your region or of particular interest. Write a 750-1050 word paper about the ecosystem and two species (one plant species and one animal species) that inhabit the ecosystem. Introduction Discuss the ecosystem and the degree of biodiversity that is present. Identify and discuss any interrelated ecosystems in close proximity that directly impact your topic ecosystem. Provide a brief description of two species (one plant and one animal) that inhabit your ecosystem. One of these species must be classified as endangered on the IUCN Red List, or by a government wildlife of natural resource agency. Discuss each of these species in relation to their instrumental and uniqueness value. Explain how this species became endangered, and discuss efforts currently underway to help protect and/or preserve this species. Conclusion The paper should be in APA format with an APA title and reference page. Four separate instances of cited material are required in the paper with corresponding references. There must be one instance in which material from our course textbook is cited and referenced.

please answer the following using information about microbiology and results from attatched photo 1. Describe the effect of increasing salt concentration on bacterial growth observed in this investigation. How did each species respond to salt concentration? 2. Is either of the two bacterial species you tested a halophile? Explain your answer. 3. Some strains of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are able to cause food poisoning if the food in which they are growing is consumed. All strains of E. coli grow in similar environmental circumstances. Likewise, S. aureus grows in similar conditions as its close relative S. epidermidis. Which species would be more likely to cause food poisoning by growing in deli meats such as ham: E. coli or S. aureus? Explain your answer.
