Write down all the food items you consume in one complete day. Assemble information from food labels, menus, and dietary tables to calculate the number of grams of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats consumed. Calculate the number of Calories in each food type using 4 Cal/g for proteins and carbohydrates and 9 Cal/g for fats. Then obtain information about recommended dietary requirements for persons of your sex, age, weight, height, and level of activity from health or biology teachers or the Internet.

In studying a particular bio-molecule (a protein, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, or lipid) in the laboratory, the biochemist first needs to separate it from other biomolecules in the sample—that is, to purify it. Specific puri-fication techniques are described later in the book. However, by looking at the monomeric subunits of a biomolecule, you should have some ideas about the characteristics of the mole-cule that would allow you to separate it from other molecules. For example, how would you separate (a) amino acids from fatty acids and (b) nucleotides from glucose?

An example of ongoing natural selection that dramatically affects humans is the evolution of drug-resistant strains of pathogenic bacteria that can proliferate very quickly. With that in mind, explain how the following statement is inaccurate. "Antibiotics have created drug resistance in MRSA."

Research the categories of growth media listed below. Describe the use of each one. Name at least two media found in each category and the organisms that can grow on each. If a special reaction occurs in the media, please explain.

Growth media: Defined, Complex, Selective, Differential, Transfer.

Identify a molecular diagnostic technique. For the technique you select, write a paragraph describing 4 pre-analytical variables.

listing the five greatest advances in the field of immunology in the last 40 years. Of course, this is a matter of opinion (to a reasonable extent), Be sure to include reasons for selecting the options you chose.

Suppose you wish to be outstanding in your field by studying plant cell biology. You discover a new strain of wild lima bean plants from Costa Rica that is resistant to being killed by a hydrophobic pesticide. Which one of the following states the most reasonable hypothesis that could explain the nature of the pesticide resistance?

A) Many chloroplast proteins are encoded in the plant nuclear genome. A nuclear gene encoding an enzyme involved in the dark reactions might confer resistance by degrading the pesticide.

B) In the resistant strain, the plant cell wall might contain a novel phospholipid that binds to the pesticide and prevents its entry into the plant cells.

C) The endoplasmic reticulum in the leaf cells of the resistant strain might contain a mutant version of a cytochrome P450 enzyme that helps to remove the pesticide from the membrane.

D) The resistant strain has mutations in actin that inhibit the development of pluripotent cells in the stem, re. This results in active transport of the pesticide via LDL particles interacting with coated pits on the mitochondrial thylakoid membranes.

E) None of the above

You are designing different liposomes for drug delivery through the blood stream and for skin application as a topical lotion. Describe your selection of lipids for each application that would ensure that liposomes remain in a semi-fluid state between liquid-ordered and liquid-disordered states.
