1. There are a few forms of "apoptosis". All of these forms have the same end point, but they differ in how the cells get there. in particular some forms of apoptosis do NOT REQUIRE the activation of the caspases.

a. Given that the end point of apoptosis is the same, describe one way you would expect all of these forms of cell to be the same (Dead cells is NOT a sufficient answer).

You are studying apoptosis in a particular cell type and you would like to determine if caspase activation occurs during this apoptotic event.

b. Describe how caspases are normally activated during apoptosis.

c. design an experiment to test if caspases are active during your apoptotic event. This is just the experimental design, what you're going to do and NOT what will it show you.

d. Draw and label two figures with all of the appropriate controls. You do not need to write a figure legend, but your labeling should be sufficient enough to be able to interpret the figure.

i. A figure showing that caspases ARE activated by your apoptotic event.

ii. A figure showing that caspases ARE NOT activated by your apoptotic event.

Understanding basic safety procedures used in the biology laboratory. This assignment will also introduce the scientific method and metric system, and will explore properties of water that are essential to life.

Apply critical thinking to answer the following:

1. How would it affect organisms living in cold climates if oil or alcohol were their main body fluid?
2. How do you think the cohesive nature of water relates to its evaporation?
3. Describe in detail an experiment you could conduct to test whether another substance could replace water.

1. Why is it important to maintain good nutrition during pregnancy?

2. Are cravings during pregnancy real or a myth?

3. Which is better breast milk or formula milk or is there even much of a difference?

4. What are some benefits of breastfeeding?

5. Should caregivers use food as punishment or reward? Why or why not?

6. What are the major factors that contributed to increased life expectancy during the past century?

a. Identify hydrogen bond donors and acceptors in each Watson-Crick base pair. Why won't adenine base hydrogen bond with cytosine or guanine hydrogen bond with thymine?

b. Name an important structure stabilized by Van der Waals interactions. Explain how the Van der Waals interactions work in this instance

c. Explain how the ionization state of any amino acid (or its side chain in a protein) at any

pH can be predicted, based on its pKa value.

Which are functions of the signal recognition particle (SRP)?

1. to pause protein synthesis as the signal sequence emerges from the peptidyl exit tunnel
2. to deliver the nascent polypeptide to the SRP receptor on the endoplasmic reticulum
3. to dissociate the nascent polypeptide from the ribosome
4. to resume protein synthesis after docking to the SRP receptor
5. to cleave the signal sequence from nascent polypeptides
6. to translocate the nascent polypeptide into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum

Discuss the life cycle of the jellyfish Aurelia. Is there an Alternation of Generations in the life cycle? Explain.

 A nursing student is considering working for a pediatric endocrinologist after graduation and is concerned about her ability to gain sufficient knowledge to respond to questions from patients and their parents about various metabolic disorders. What could the student do to acquire more knowledge in this field, and what will the student discover in terms of the role of the endocrine system?

Post your original "primary post" of at least 125 words for one of the following three bulleted items. Also, reply to a fellow student on any topic.

(1) Trophic Cascades in theSerengeti. Watch Dr. Cox's video on "What Rinderpest eradication taught us about the Serengeti", which can be found in the Instructor Insights folder for this week. Then address the following questions: (a) How did eradication of Rinderpest from East Africa increase both the tree and giraffe populations in the Serengeti? (b) How did eradication of Rinderpest from East Africa increase the population of predator species in the Serengeti? (c) What does this tell us about ecosystems?

(2) Biomes. The term "biome" is described in the textbook. For this topic, describe the biome where you grew up (or where you currently live). Identify your location, the biome of the region, and describe the major characteristics of that biome. Add enough detail and commentary from your own experience, so that your answer is 125 words or more. If you're really ambitious, you could consider looking up the "ecoregion". The EPA maintains information about that.

(3) Shrinking Red Knots. Read two of the following three articles: Briggs (2016); Dussault (2016); Zimmer (2016). (A) In your own words summarize the basic story that the articles have in common. (B) Of the two articles you read, which of them do you prefer? Why?

When looking at data on average life expectancy in different developed countries, the average life expectancy in the United States is significantly lower than that of many other developed countries. What are three factors that contribute to this lower life expectancy, and how are they related to each other? What is a realistic way to help reduce these problems?

answer the following questions
1 what are the six keys that determine the RUG three groupers.

2 what are the three components that together reflect the cost of the particular procedure

3 what are the major categories of suppliers of the hco?

4 what are the four major payment method unit that are used in the healthcare

human growth hormone (HGH) has been taken by athletes to gain a competitive advantage. This protein is also found naturally. Assuming that blood contains HGH, describe a test that could be developed to test large numbers of athletes in a short period of time and describe one that would not be as feasible. Briefly explain your choices.

1. If all cell types have the exact same genome, how can they be different from one another?

2. do you think transcription through introns is sufficient to explain transcription of 75% of the genome? Why or why not?
