For the questions #1A, 1B and 1C, use information from your textbook( TEXT: Nester’s Microbiology, A Human Perspective 8th edition, Denise Anderson, Sarah Salm and Deborah Allen ISBN: 9780073522593) or information researched from the literature online, through OHIOLINK or Pubmed. Provide proper citations for your sources so that I can also find the information that you have used to prepare your responses.

1. A) What are prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics? B) What are the health benefits of prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics?

Explain why you agree or disagree with the following proposals made by various energy analysts:

1)We should eliminate government subsidies for all energy alternatives so that all energy providers can compete in a true free-market system.

2)We should phase out all government tax breaks and other subsidies for conventional fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, and coal), synthetic natural gas and oil, and nuclear power (fission and fusion). We should replace them with subsidies and tax breaks for improving energy efficiency and developing solar, wind, geothermal, hydrogen, and biomass energy alternatives.

3)We should leave development of solar, wind, and hydrogen energy to private enterprise, and it should receive little or no help from the federal government, but nuclear energy and fossil fuels should continue to receive large federal government subsidies.

4)We should place a heavy federal tax on gasoline and imported oil to help reduce the waste and consumption of crude oil resources and to encourage use of other alternatives.

5)We should find and develop more domestic supplies of crude oil and increase our dependence on coal.

Create an argumentative essay that describes your personal view on these issues. Cite three reliable sources to justify your personal view.

1. What are endocrine disrupters? Provide some examples that explain how we are exposed to these chemicals. Why are they so difficult to study them in humans? Why is it so important that we do study them (provide examples)? (Endocrine disrupters powerpoint)

2. Describe the microbiome and our microbiota and how it can affect our health. What are some things people can do to support their microbiome/microbiota? Is it important for our health for doctors and microbiologists to work together? Explain why or why not. (infectious disease ppt and video)

3. This semester we have used online tools that provide information on our exposure to chemicals in our environment. Airnow.gov, EWG’s water quality, and the European Chemicals Agency. Discuss these tools and how they work. Critique these tools (Did you find them helpful or not? Are they easy to use? Would you use them and how would you use them outside of class?). (PPT, projects, Water quality journal entry)
