Question

Pick a profession that you might be interested in that demands some knowledge in the life sciences. From the abbreviate course outline provided below, choose the 5 units you think are most important, then explain what you must learn in detail to give you the best academic preparation for your profession. Be sure to relate to specific concepts learned within each unit of your chosen units. Must be at least 500 words.

Animal Physiology; review major animal phyla; vertebrate reproduction, embryology and hormone regulation; circulation, digestion and exchange systems; excretion and kidney nephrons; the vertebrate immune system; neurons and nervous systems

Carbon and the Macromolecules of Living Things; structure and function of carbon, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and enzyme kinetics.  

Ecology; ecosystems, biomes, cycles of materials, communities, succession, populations.  

Cell Structure, Function, and Division; cell theory, structure and function of organelles, membrane transport, cell to cell interactions, mitosis, carcinogenesis.

Respiration and Photosynthesis; ATP, fundamentals of metabolism, energy from nutrients, anaerobic and aerobic respiration, how plants convert solar energy to chemical energy.

Mendelian Genetics; meiosis, laws of heredity, punnett squares, human traits, genetic disorders, chromosomal abnormalities.

Molecular Genetics; DNA function, structure, and replication; RNA transcription and translation; gene regulation; genetic engineering.  

Classification and Evolution; taxonomy, species defined, classic darwinism, mechanisms of evolution, fossil formation and dating, the evolution of self replicating molecules through vertebrates and humans, how species evolve, and a genetic view of evolution.  

Organism Survey (primarily microorganisms); viruses, bacteria, protists, and fungi.

Botany; classification of plants, basic structure and function of tissues, and physiology.

Answer 1

1.Biomedic Scientist is one among the professions that required knowledge in life sciences along with mathematics.

2. The most important Units to include from the above provided course outline includes the following 5:

(a)Animal Physiology; (b)Carbon & Macromoleculs of living things; (c)Cell Structure, Function & Development; (d)Molecular Genetics; & (e)Organism Survey (primarily microorganisms).

3. A Biomedica Scientist examines various medical samples ( eg: blood samples & tissue samples) and helps in diagnosing and treating a diseases, so the most important to learn includes Pathology, Physiology, Immunology, Genetics. They work to gain knowledge in how human body works and new ways to cure and treat diseases.They use living organisms as models to conduct experiment.

They techniques used by them involves- Molecular & Biochemical techniques,Genetic modifications & Engineering.

* To gain knowledge in Pathology requires Microbiology ( the study of microbes- viruses, bacteria,fungi, protists ) which are pathogenic (causes diseases) to living organisms. * For the knowledge in Physiology requires the study of different animal, there internal organisation, nervous system , excretory system, digestive system etc... for which learning structural organisation of living cells, interactions between cells,energy productions and storage ,enzymatic activities in the body becomes important. * For Immunology the defence system ( immune system) should be learnt which is again included in Physiology. It also includes the involvement kinetics ( Bio-Chemistry) in it.   * For knowledge in Genetics requires the study of Molecular Biology, Transcription and Translation, DNA structure & function,Protein production, Gene regulations , Genetic engineering studies. * Thus, gaining knowledge in Pathology, Physiology, Immunology and Genetics includes Organism Survey of Viruses, bacteria,fungi which are both beneficial and harmful to living organisms ( beneficial by helping in genetic engineering - formation of vectors that help in developing recombinant DNA molecules which help in production of Vaccines);Animal Physiology which includes the study of internal organisations in the body; Carbon & Macromolecules of living things- which help in the study of basic metabolites in living organisms ( carbs,proteins,amino acids,nucleic acids, lipids) & there metabolism;Cell Structure, Function & Division--which includes the study of cell- cell interactions ,organisation within the internal organs, transportation & cell division,development and differedifferentiation  and Molecular Genetics --which includes the study of DNA,RNA & Proteins.
