A key understanding of how synapses work is that they must be able to 1. Turn a signal on, 2. Turn a signal off again. Explain why two neurons, one dopaminergic, one glutergic demonstrate this principle in Cocaine addition. In Nicotine addiction, the pathway is reversed, a Cholinergic neuron is followed by a Dopaminergic neuron. The same logic applies. Explain.

I am an addict. Which is my best excuse? 'It’s my genes'. 'It’s my mates'. 'It’s down-regulation of my receptors'. The excuse must be accompanied by an explanation.

make a table of important vitamin facts. At the top of the document list your demographic (age/sex) category. In the table, include the following information for all vitamins (there are 13 - see Chapter 9 & 10)

  • RDA and UL for your demographic (age/sex) - and state what that is. Provide appropriate, accurate units
    • On tests you will need to know RDAs and ULs for all groups - remember that you can refer to the tables inside the text if you have a hard copy or use the scanned RDA/UL tables provided in the orientation module.
  • chemical name(s)
    • there may be more than one so include all common ones listed in the text (eg. vitamin A comes in the form of retinol, retinal and retinoic acid; vitamin B1 is also known as thiamin, etc.)
  • type and storage
    • indicate if it is water or fat soluble
    • include whether/where in the body excess is stored (if it isn't stored just say N/A for not applicable)
  • symptoms of deficiency
    • summarize the effects on the body if you don't have enough
    • describe the symptoms and include the names of any specific diseases caused by lack of this vitamin in the diet
  • symptoms of toxicity
    • summarize the effects on the body if you get too much
    • for some vitamins this is rare and/or there is no known toxicity - if that's the case say so
  • food sources - food groups and specific foods that are good sources
  • any additional info that you think is important or is emphasized in lecture slides

FORMAT - choose a format that works for you. You may use either of the vitamin table templates (one is an excel file, one is a word doc) provided on the Chapter 9 page as a guide for what information to include in your table or make your own.

  • EXCEL or WORD - if you have the Microsoft office suite, you can download either the excel or word template and fill in/modify as you like. Then submit your version of this file to the dropbox.
  • OTHER DIGITAL PROGRAMS - want to use a different program? You can make your table in any program just be sure to include and label all required information. IMPORTANT: you must save it as an excel file, word doc or pdf then submit to the dropbox. If you use other digital programs then you must save and submit as a pdf so I can see and grade it!!
  • HAND WRITTEN - flash cards or sheets of paper; if your handwriting is neat and legible and you don't want to use a computer program, you can create a paper version. You can use colored pens and get creative

a. the amount of water in the plant cell would not change.
b. the plant cells would gain water .
c. the plant cells would lose water.
d. osmosis will cause water to flow from the hypertonic plant cell to the hypotonic solution surrounding the cells.
e. osmosis would change the plant cells such as the plant is now adapted for a salt water environment.

MICROBIOLOGY PRSENTATION
Topic: streptococcus pneumonia
Presentation title: you should think of a creative title for your presentation

Format: PowerPoint presentation
Visual Aids: tables, figures, diagrams, graphs, photos, maps, etc… (you should have a good balance of word & figures throughout the presentation) – if you would like to use a figure from the textbook email me, and I will provide it for you. You must request the image no later than 2 days before your presentation
What you will cover:
1. Pathogen / type of microbe
a. Is your pathogen a virus or bacterium?
b. Scientific name of the pathogen
i. For a virus give the family of viruses your specific virus belongs to
ii. For a bacteria give the genus and species name
c. For bacteria:
i. Is it Gram-positive or Gram-negative?
ii. What is the morphology?
iii. What are the oxygen requirements (aerobic, anaerobic, etc…)
iiii. Does your bacterium have any special structural features? (capsule, flagella, endospore, etc…)
v. What type of cell or tissue does it infect/colonize?
d. For viruses:
i. What type of genome does it have? (DNA or RNA)
ii. Is it enveloped or naked?
iii. Does it have any proteins associated with the virion?
iiii. What type of cell does the virus infect?
v. What are the host cell receptors?
2. Diseases – list any disease(s) your pathogen causes
3. Epidemiology – (do not spend a lot of time on this portion of the talk)
a. What regions locations is pathogen typically found? (widespread or only found in a certain area?)
b. What is the mortality rate? With or without treatment?
c. Is there a particular population that is more susceptible to the pathogen?
4. Transmission

b. Is drug resistance common in your pathogen?
c. Are there any actions or drugs that can be used to prevent infection or spread?
8. Major virulence factor(s) - does your pathogen have any specific proteins, structures, features, or mechanisms that it uses to cause disease? If so, state them and give a brief explanation, as time allows.
9. References – list all references used to gather information. You do not need to present the references. Just list them on the last slide of your presentation.
Information sources: Your textbook will serve as your primary reference. However, you will most likely need additional references to gather all of the required information. A couple of acceptable sources are listed below:
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: https://www.cdc.gov/
World Health Organization: http://www.who.int/en/
MicrobeWiki: https://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/MicrobeWiki
WIKIPEDIA IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOURCE!!!! You may use a source other than the two listed above if it is another textbook or a reputable scientific website. You can ask me if you are unsure!

Additional Considerations:
• The font used in your presentation should be block print. No cursive or script fonts.
