Can you please do this biology assignment?

In this task you will find an article related to personal nutrition or nutrition of a society. Choose an article from a publication for the general public. There are lots of biology-related news articles, but remember you have to write a reflection about the one you choose, and your writing is always most effective and enjoyable to read if the topic strikes a chord with you. Choose something that interests you, not just the first article that pops up in your search. For this reason, controversies are usually easier to write about. You will show how the issue in the article relates to personal choices and/or choices in society about nutrition and food systems.
 
Your article must be:
  • published within the last year;
  • published by a reputable news source, ideally from North America;
  • printable (if online);
  • relevant to the topics we covered in this Unit.
Some possible sources:
  • Ottawa Citizen,
  • Globe & Mail,
  • National Post,
  • Toronto Sun,
  • Toronto Star,
  • Boston Herald
  • New York Times,
    The Economist,
    BBC,
    Scientific American.
     
    You will show your work in a written reflection.
    It is up to you how you organize your thoughts into paragraphs.
    Your written reflection should include the following:
    • A brief summary of the issue discussed in the article (max. 2 sentences)
    • How is this related to what we studied?
    • How is this relevant to personal choices or choices a government could make?
    • Any questions left unanswered
    • APA referencing for the article and any other sources of information you use
    These are very basic guidelines. How you write your reflection completely depends on what your article talks about. Feel free to make connections beyond the article to your life, any statistics you find, etc. The connections you make in your reflection to the course content and other relevant issues are much more important than your summary of the article.

n​ 2014, Company A reported profits of about

​$42

billion on sales of

​$151

billion. For that same​ period, Company B posted a profit ofabout

​$23

billion on sales of

​$117

billion. So Company A is a better​ marketer, right? Sales andprofits provide information to compare the profitability of thesetwo​ competitors, but between these numbers is informationregarding the efficiency of marketing efforts in creating thosesales and profits. Using the following information from the​companies' income statements​ (all numbers are in​ thousands),calculate profit​ margin, net marketing​ contribution, marketingreturn on sales​ (or marketing​ ROS), and marketing return oninvestment​ (or marketing​ ROI) for each company.

Background: In this assignment, you willinvestigate the chemical composition of the foods we eat as ourbodies break down food by the digestive process.

The USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory has posted a resourcethrough which you can investigate the chemical composition offoods. Go to the USDA Lab Link at USDA Nutrient DataLaboratory: http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/

Instructions

  1. Type in a keyword, then select a food group using the drop-downarrow, then click "submit."
  2. This pulls up a menu with lots of choices.
  3. Choose one food choice, then click "submit"
  4. Next choose a portion size, then click "submit"
  5. This will bring up the nutritional informationneeded to complete the assignment.

Example:

  • Keyword: Apple
  • Select Food Group: Fruits and FruitJuice
  • Apples, raw, with skin.
  • One medium

Assignmentdetails:

A. Nutrition: Analyze the nutritionalcomponents of the food you select; and in your own words, answerthe following questions using the USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory Website as listed in the unit Web resources:

  1. What was the food and portion size you chose?
  2. Describe its composition in terms of carbohydrates, lipids, andproteins.
  3. How many calories are in your food item? (Found in the Databaseas Energy – kcal)
  4. List some of the most common vitamins and minerals in this fooditem.

B. Water:

  1. How much of your food item is water?
  2. Provide one reason why water is important for life. Toadequately answer this question, it will be necessary to explain areason for water’s importance based upon its chemical and /orphysical properties.

C. Biological Molecule:

  1. State the most abundant category of biological molecule in yourfood: carbohydrates, lipids, or proteins.
  2. Describe the structure of this type of molecule, and itsprimary function(s). This section will not be a one sentence answer.In order to adequately “describe†an entire category ofbiological molecules, you will need to briefly review their basicmolecular structures and functions.

D. Recommendation:

After identifying the nutritional components, discuss WHY youwould or would not recommend this food item as part of a healthy,nutritious diet. Be sure to use references and guidelines such asthe Food Pyramid and Recommended Daily Allowances to support yourrecommendations.
