What do you think–does biodiversity protect humans against infectious disease? Present your fact-based opinion and discuss.

Relationship Between Biodiversity and Infectious Diseases

Over the last decade, biodiversity has continued to decrease due to human behavior and climate change. However, an increase in the number of zoonotic diseases  such as AIDS, Ebola, West Nile virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome , and now COVID-19 has made us more aware of how animals and humans interact in an ecosystem.

Why do scientists look for water when looking for life? What are the properties of water that are important for sustaining life? Could there be life on other planets without water?

Module 2 Reflection Due: Sun Aug 21, 2022 11:59pmDue: Sun Aug 21, 2022 11:59pm Ungraded, 100 Possible Points

Ever since NASA was established in 1956, humans have been looking for life beyond Earth. The effort in looking for life elsewhere in our solar system involves looking for the presence of water. Why do scientists look for water when looking for life? What are the properties of water that are important for sustaining life? Could there be life on other planets without water?

What are your thoughts about this—is a diet low in carbohydrates better than a diet low in saturated fats in decreasing cardiovascular disease? If so, how does that work and why?

Module 2 Chemical Building Blocks of Life

It seems like every year or two a new diet trend makes the rounds: Paleo, Mediterranean, Atkins, Zone, raw food, South Beach, macrobiotics, ketogenic, and 5:2 . Dieting can be quite frustrating when one minute the scientific world says to eat lots of meat and low carbs and the next minute we are told to stay away from fatty foods and carbs are not the enemy. It’s enough to drive a person mad. We all know that eating nutritious food is good for us but is the quote “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” true?

What are your thoughts about this—is a diet low in carbohydrates better than a diet low in saturated fats in decreasing cardiovascular disease? If so, how does that work and why? What is the significance of carbon in forming the basis of the four classes of biologically important organic molecules?

Present the practical implications of this biological and psychological knowledge. How do these issues affect people and society? How are they affected by technology, society, genetics, and the environment?

Module 6 Final Presentation

Instructions:
Using the paper from order #741103 as foundation, complete a paper on the Biological Psychology of Poverty in low income students. Here are your headers:

– Background of the topic and value of the information to your audience.

– Present the neural basis of your topic and highlighting recent research on these brain mechanisms. Include the names and functions of specific anatomical regions and any relevant points about cell function, neurotransmitters, or other cellular and molecular mechanisms.

– Present the practical implications of this biological and psychological knowledge. How do these issues affect people and society? How are they affected by technology, society, genetics, and the environment?

– Explain and give examples of the most notable consequences to individuals and groups or highlight other primary topics of concern and application within this field.

– Conclusion: Emphasize the take-home message and value of the information.

Identify and label the key features/organelles of cells from plants, animals, and bacteria. Classify cells as prokaryotic or eukaryotic and compare and contrast features of each. Summarize the key functions of cell organelles.

“From single-celled organisms to human populations, viruses affect all life on earth, often determining what will survive. But viruses themselves also evolve. New viruses, such as the AIDS-causing HIV-1, may be the only biological entities that researchers can actually witness come into being, providing a real-time example of evolution in action.” Villarreal, L. P. Are viruses alive? Scientific American-American Edition, 291, 100-105.

Explain the effects of ONE of the following: technology, society, genetics, general health, sleep, education, physical activity, nutrition, drugs , environmental toxins on one or more forms of memory.

Memory

You must complete parts A, B, and C:

a. Tell classmates and your instructor about your chosen topic for the final presentation and provide a brief outline of the main concepts. NOTE: YOU WILL NOT WRITE THE FINAL PROJECT IN THIS ORDER. YOU ARE SIMPLY PROVIDING A BRIEF INTRODUCTION/EXPLANATION OF YOUR TOPIC AND AN OUTLINE.

b. Choose one type of memory and describe its neuroanatomy and neurophysiology  and ONE recent peer-reviewed source to support your claims.

c. Find and play an online memory testing game. Play when you are tired and alert, before and 20 minutes after a cup of coffee, or compare two other situations of your choice.

Part 2: Choose ONE of the following:

a. Explain the topic of false memory research and discuss some of the most compelling discoveries, their effects on the legal system, and how you, friends, and family may experience and argue about memory errors. What parts of the brain are involved in memory errors?

b. Explain the neurobiology of a memory disorder, its symptoms and diagnosis, causes, and possible treatments.

c. Explain a memory enhancement method and how it might affect the brain.

d. Explain the effects of ONE of the following: technology, society, genetics, general health, sleep, education, physical activity, nutrition, drugs , environmental toxins on one or more forms of memory.

Discuss the categories that organisms can be grouped in based on their nutritional requirements.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis discussion

Discuss the categories that organisms can be grouped in based on their nutritional requirements.

Find one microorganism, either a prokaryote or eukaryote, and describe the environment in which it lives. To complete your initial post, you will then use the vocabulary we discussed to classify it based on its nutritional needs and environmental requirements.
