Biome Classification and Desert BiomesTask: This is an ‘open book’ exam and you may use any materials you need to support your answer. Each exam will be run through a plagiarism program. If you have any questions as to what plagiarism is one of the best sources to look at is plagiarism.org. You are responsible for knowing and understanding what plagiarism is. Each question has multiple parts so please make sure you have addressed al...

PhotosynthesisComplete the questions in the lab.  perform in class! Both our protocol and this video use our favorite underwater plan Elodea to perform photosynthesis. Our lab protocol used the pH indicator phenol red, this video demo uses bromothyml (BTB). Both are chemicals that change color based on the pH of the solution. a.At 0:46 in the video (after BTB has been added but before the straw has been put in the beaker), what pH do...

Template Personal Research Notebook/Journal Template Over the course of the semester, students maintain a personal research journal based on the topics discussed during class. This is to develop and enhance the student’s knowledge on the subject and which research group(s) around the world is leading the industry, academia or government. There should be two papers from a peer reviewed scientific journal for each topic, unless I say in cl...

Sun, Autotrophs, and HeterotrophsIn this discussion, you will justify the dependence of life on the sun and the interdependence of living things and their chemistry. People who do not understand the relationships between biological processes on the planet may roll their eyes at the statement, "Life on this planet is a delicate balance." What evidence have you found in this course so far to support this statement? Consider: 1.The relationship ...

Be sure to read the information located in the Home, Background and Explore Model tabs to the left of the simulate tab. a.Enzyme b.Substrate c.Active site d.Rate of reaction e.Activation Energy Simulation Option 1: Temperature  1. Start with the initial lactose at 500 mg/dL and the pH at 7. Do not vary these parameters while testing for te...

Reduction and Oxidation: Definition and chemistryAnalysis of Results from Video Lab 1.Define reduction and Oxidation. Reduction : The gain of electrons by a substance involved in a redox reaction; always accompanies oxidation.  Oxidation : The loss of electrons from a substance involved in a redox reaction ; always accompanies reduction.  2.Explain why the sugar is called a reducing sugar?  3.Explain the chemistry behind a so...

Arguments are logically presented and supported by evidence from modules and scientific literature, demonstrating a strong understanding of module content. Well-written in a language that peers can easily understand. Has excellent potential to promote academic discussion. Addresses most aspects of the qu...

Dentition Comparison: H. habilis vs. Australopithecines1. Compare the lower dentition of H. habilis with that of the australopithecine in the lab. How are they different? (make sure to consider the scale).2. Compare the H. habilis cranium with that of A. africanus and P. boisei in the lab. How are they different?3. Observe the H. heidelbergensis skull in the lab. Make a list of those characters that seem H. erectus-like and those that seem H. sa...

Example of Darwinian evolution in non-genetic system1. Provide an example of Darwinian evolution in a non-genetic system. Explain how the three conditions required for evolution are met in your example. 2. Multicellular organisms (select all that apply): a) Always have germline b) Typically reproduce asexually c) Only include animals d) Always have sensory organs e) Are unable to photosynthesize f) Share a common ancestor with bacteria ...

What happens if you run DNA on agarose gel with water instead of TAE or TBE?Task: 1. What would happen if you attempted to run DNA on an agarose gel with water instead of TAE or TBE?  Why would this be the case?2. Answer the following questions:a)Using a DNA sample that is 0.2g/ul, set up a 20-l digestion with Bam HI containing 1 ug DNA, 10 units of enzyme (10,000U/mL) and the appropriate buffer. b)After digestion you want to stop the reac...

Background and context of the studyTask: There are two illustrations on the first page of these guidelines (See pdf for guidelines under "Files"). The first you are already familiar with: Kuhn’s five stage cyclical model for scientific revolutions. The second shows a series of phylogenic trees for the evolution of hominids. The trees represent updates to scientific knowledge over time as new scientific evidence came to light (1955, 1967, ...
