design an experiment to determine the concentration of HbA1c in the blood sample by following these six steps
Step 1, pick one differentiating characteristic
Step2 how will u probe that differentiating characteristic
Step3 tell the anticipated response to the probe
step4 measure the response to the probe
step 5 how will u interpret the response to the probe to obtain the desired information
step6 tell the likely interference with the method you have chosen.
you have to design experiment to tell the concentration of HbA1c

After watching Frontline’s Endgame: AIDS in Black America, answer the following questions in a separate Word document and attach it below. Be sure to include very obvious headers for each question answered.
What was your knowledge of the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on the African American community prior to watching this film?

DNA is the blueprint not only for the organism but for all the parts of the cell. How does DNA dictate the functions of a particular cell (by the production of proteins)? But how does a cell produce proteins? This week, we'll discuss how DNA functions as a blueprint for the cell by looking at the relationship between genes and proteins, but we have to crawl before we walk. Let's begin by taking a close look at the cell, identifying all cellular organelles along with their roles in the cell.
This week, we're exploring the amazing and unique properties of
cells! Cells are truly more than the sum of their parts. Scientists
can add all the necessary ingredients to make a cell to in test
tube, but no one has ever succeeded in making a living cell.
We'll start our discussion by making a running list of the
organelles and their functions. By the end of the week, we'll have
a complete picture of the cell's machinery.
The first student to post should pick an organelle and describe its
structure and function. The next student should summarize the first
student's organelle info and then add their own to the list. The
third student will copy that list and add his or her own organelle
description. Pass it on!

Skin creams that claim to stop the process of aging is a billion-dollar business. What are the differences between young and old skin? What factors can impact the aging process? What are some of the ingredients in these skin creams that make these claims? What do you think? Do they work?

What are the three mechanism used to close/open channels? What is the difference between channels made of proteins with beta-pleated sheets versus alpha helix structures? Give an example of each.

The text raises excellent questions about ethical
issues related to using technology in genetics, such as. If you
could select three genetic traits for your children, which ones
would you select? How would you feel about raising children you
have adopted or fostered but to whom you are not genetically
related? If a biological child of yours might be born disabled or
fatally ill because of your genetic heritage, would you have
children anyway? What
circumstances or conditions would affect your
decision?

How is it that a single photopigment can give a different response to different wavelengths, yet an organism with only one receptor type (and one variety of photopigment) does not have true color vision?

The process of movement requires and interaction
between muscle fibres and bone tissue to pull about a joint.
Construct an information leaflet that can be used at a local Gym to
explain the processes involved in muscular contraction and movement
of the skeleton. In this leaflet ensure that the following points
are addressed: you need to do it in a leaflet I will do it.
1) explain the mechanical process of contraction (there is no need
to address nerve impulses here)
2) Analysis the roles of antagonist, agonist and synergist muscles
and their contractions. This should be linked to specific examples
in the body.
3) The different types of fibres that make up muscle tissue and how
they work together to produce movement relating to their
properties.
4) The components of skeletal muscle fibres and a comparison
between them

b) Explain the structure of bone and cartilage
tissues, how this relates to their functions and explain the
differences between them.
c) Explain the key conditions for adequate bone development and
maintenance

a) Draw diagrams of fibrous, cartilaginous and
synovial joints ensuring that they are fully annotated.
b) Explain, with examples, the structure of each of these types of
joint and how this relates to different types of movement that are
associated with them.
