Water is both a powerful force and critical to an organism’s survival. Explain how this can be true of water, by providing a detailed example of each situation (including the chemistry aspect as needed).

There is a wide variety of survival strategies used by terrestrial organisms. Explain the difference between ectotherms and endotherms, and an example organism for each.

Many organisms live in environments that experience large changes, giving them seasons. Explain the differences between diapause, hibernation, and torpor. Provide a single organism example for each of the three terms and why that species must use this strategy.

You decide to do to determine the effect of used cigarette butts on water from Morses Creek, NJ and how it affects the water quality index. In the lab, you set up 3 large tanks of water from Morses Creek for the control group and 3 large tanks for the experimental group.

1. What is the independent variable in this experiment?

2. Name four dependent variables that you should measure.

3. What are three controlled variables?

4. Explain how you should set up the control group tanks. Then explain how you would set up the experimental group tanks.

Please answer the following question in your own words.

1. The following relates to Natural Selection and the theory of evolution:

A. How is natural selection related to gene flow, how is it related to genetic drift, and how is it related to mutation.

B. Write a 7 sentence summary discussing how has the theory of evolution contributed to your understanding of humans as a biological species.

According to their calculation of theta, the long term mtDNA Ne= 5000. Now assume that a single African mtDNA lineage migrates from Africa to European Neanderthals. How many years will it take before this single mtDNA lineage would fix in the Neanderthalhals population? Assume 30 years per generation.

Question is: A man produces his alleged girlfriend’s medical documents which include a diagnosis of “vulvovaginitis” with the saline wet mount lab results showing flagellated protozoa. What is the likely diagnosis of the man? Explain your diagnosis.

what is the best the best kind of media (agar or broth medium) to use for identification of the following bacteria:

1. Staphylococcus aureus
2. Escherichia coli
3. Streptococcus pneumoniae

Examples of possible media choices may include: TSA, TSIA, MSA, MacConkey, Blood Agar, EMB, SIM, MR-VP, etc.

Also, provide reasoning behind each selection. Also list if each of the media used are selective and/or differential. What observable changes would you expect to see from the media after a proper incubation period with each bacterial species?

Describe the relationship of yeast and humans?

1) List 5 adaptations that allow plants to live in relatively dry conditions. What is the order in which these evolved?

2) List two of the earliest adaptations plants developed to live on dry land. Why were these first adaptations, coming before vascular tissue, roots, or leaves?
