Make a sketch that shows a carbon atom and the molecule it is a part of before soil is wet. A second sketch should show the same carbon atom now as a part of CO2 in the atmosphere. Describe what happened to cause the carbon atom to become a part of a different molecule.

In Week 2, we saw how cells of similar size, shape, and function form tissues. As a tissue, muscle is very diverse. Let's kick off our study of muscles by discussing the subtypes of muscle tissue, beginning with smooth muscle. Where do we find this muscle tissue, how does it contract, and what are its defining characteristics? In what ways are smooth muscles working in your body right now?
Here's the muscle discussion! I bet you will learn something new about muscles this week. First we will tackle smooth muscles. Where are they? How do they work? What do they do?

Imagine that you took the mass of dried soil before you added water to it. You then added water and waited a week. Then you dried out the soil again. Would you expect the mass to be higher, lower, or equal to your original measurement? Explain your answer.

native conformation and how misfolded proteins can lead to
diseases.
(2). What are the differences of saturated, polyunsaturated and
monounsaturated fats? How do they affect human health.
(3). What are the differences of cellulose, starch and glycogen?
Which one is the most abundant organic compound on earth?

In what population(s) do(es) Staphylococcus aureus cause infections? What types of infections are associated with S. aureus? How does Protein A contribute to the virulence of S. aureus? What toxin causes toxic shock syndrome? What type of toxin is associated with scalded skin syndrome? What toxins are involved in staphylococcal food poisoning? In what clinical condition would coagulase-negative staphylococci be significant? Which coagulase-negative staphylococci are considered more significant, and might need to be identified to the species level? What are the two types of coagulase produced by S. aureus, and how is each type detected in the clinical lab?
