Document Summary

Biol 1001 exam 1 study guide (items in italics are topics that we may not get to cover. If we don"t cover them, they won"t be on the exam. Topics in red have not been covered and are definitely not going to be on the exam) There is a lot of material covered here, but you should be familiar with the concepts. Remember that the process is more important than memorization (the exam questions will be of a similar style to the quiz questions). Generally be prepared to take ideas we"ve discussed in class and apply them in new areas. I spent a lot of class time on chapter 1, but only expect a few questions from that chapter on the exam. The bulk of the exam will come from the ecology material. You should have read most of the chapters by now.

When you are faced with a medical case and do not know how to approach it or have questions, what do you do? Even experienced nurses, dentists, doctors, and pharmacists will go to their smartphones and begin searching for answers. So much information is available. How do you know what information is reliable and valid? The purpose of the journal assignment is for you to practice finding, evaluating, and summarizing resources around key concepts that are presented throughout the module, which is relevant to your specific area of interest. This journal should be valuable to you; you can collect sites, resources, and readings that you find helpful to your learning.

This module will focus on the following topics that examine how our body responds, or rather adapts, to environmental toxins on a cellular level:

* Cellular adaption and neoplasia

* Infection, immunity, and inflammation

* Hematological disorders

Instructions:

Search for, read, and incorporate (3) other readings in regards to either (tumor associated inflammation in mammary cancer between humans and dogs) or (zinc and vitamin E interactions related to the inflammatory response in aging and inflammation) or both. In this area of interest that focus on cellular adaption and neoplasia; infection, immunity, and inflammation; and/or hematological disorders. You might include:

* 1-2 journal articles or websites

* Book chapters

Your summary of EACH reading should be at least one paragraph (100-200 words) and include the following information:

All references must be cited using APA Style format.

* Number of pages read

* Keywords you used to find the reading

* Link to the reading

* Why you selected the reading

* Main point of the reading

* Describe how the health deviations you read about alter normal physiology.

* Provide your key take away from the reading. This could be something that made you pause, changed your thinking, supported your thinking, or made you question something.

* In your post, respond to the following questions: How do you know that the material you have found and read is reliable? How do you know that it is valid?

Chapter 7: Microbial Nutrition, Ecology, andGrowth.


Please be sure to include 2 days of posting forthis chapter.

Select one of the following and discuss:

  • Types of nutrients (essential, micro, macro and traceelements)
  • Carbon-based nutrition types: heterotroph, autotroph,phototroph, chemotrophs
  • Chemical analysis of cell contents
  • Methanogens
  • Saprobic microbes
  • Parasitic microbes
  • Diffusion vs. Osmosis
  • Facilitated diffusion
  • Temperatures: psychrophile, mesophile, thermophile
  • Gas requirements: obligate aerobes (give examples)
  • Gas requirements: obligate anaerobes (give examples)
  • Gas requirements: facultative anaerobes (give examples)
  • Microaerophiles vs. aerotolerant anaerobes
  • Capnophiles
  • pH: neutrophiles, acidophiles and alkalinophiles
  • Osmotic pressure: halophiles and osmotolerant
  • Barophiles
  • Relationships: symbiosis
  • Relationships: mutualism
  • Relationships: commensalism
  • Synergism and antagonism
  • Interactions between microbes and humans
  • Biofilms--quorum sensing
  • Basis of population growth: binary fission
  • Generation time-exponential
  • Steps of Growth curve (visual on page 210)
  • Other methods to analyze population growth (direct count,automated counters, turbidity)

Please change the subject line to the topic you picked,we can avoid similar topics this way.

If two chapters are being discussed: the first post is due byMonday at 11:59pm and the second chapter is due by Wednesday at11:59pm. Each original post for the individual chapters MUST beposted on different days. Any replies can be made on the same dayas an original post but you are required to complete four separatedays of posting (not four posts in one day). When two chapters arebeing discussed you should post 2 times for each chapter for atotal of 4 posts. Posts done on topics already discussed will notbe given credit. Please read through the entire discussion boardbefore choosing a topic to post on.

I wonder if you can help me with this research question . I have to come up with a question related to this topic (FVA) FOREST VEGTATION ANALYSIS
The broad topic we are trying to address in the Forest Vegetation Analysis (FVA) project is: The forest we measure can be thought of as specific examples of a forest type common in our geographic area.

Description: Your task is to come up with a specific and unique research question that you will focus on for the remainder of the course. A few notes to keep in mind:
This question must be answerable using the data that we are collecting (Make sure that you take good notes on what you did in Lincoln Park so that you can come up with a testable question).
Your question must have both a dependent and independent variables.
Your study must be an observational study, not experimental.
Your study cannot involve animals because we don’t have the time to collect data on things that move.
Your question must be scientific and testable.
Think about measures such as: size, density, species identity, class of species, interactions, elevation, aspect (North/South), information from maps, proximity to roads/towns/other natural areas, historical data.
