The Mercantilist and Physiocratic economic schools of thought are the earliest recognizable school of thought in human history. This question has the aim to help you to review these schools of thought and to encourage your critical thinking. a) Identify a similarity with respect to economic ideas between those schools of thought. Your answer needs to provide at least one paragraph. (1/2 point) b) Identify a difference with respect o economic ideas between those schools of thought. Your answer needs to provide at least one paragraph. (1/2 point) c) Discuss the school of thought between these two that you are less likely to support or that you dissagree. (1 point)?

Assume that adults were randomly selected for a poll. They were asked if they​ "favor or oppose using federal tax dollars to fund medical research using stem cells obtained from human​ embryos." Of those​ polled,

483483

were in​ favor,

402402

were​ opposed, and

115115

were unsure. A politician claims that people​ don't really understand the stem cell issue and their responses to such questions are random responses equivalent to a coin toss. Exclude the

115115

subjects who said that they were​ unsure, and use a

0.010.01

significance level to test the claim that the proportion of subjects who respond in favor is equal to

0.50.5.

What does the result suggest about the​ politician's

1. Insects are one of the most abundant and diverse groups of animals with biologists estimating that there are about 5 million species with many of them not yet described. Describe three reasons why insects such as the fruit fly have become an important model system along with snails, worms, sea urchins, frogs, chickens, zebrafish, and mice.

2. Even though the fruit fly is “just” an insect, it is an important model system for understanding human disease and development.

Describe one example of how the fruit fly has contributed to our understanding of a specific disease or aspect of development based on a quick search of the scientific literature. Limit your response to six sentences.

Your textbook explains the three major explanations for the continuing wage gap between men and women in the paid labor force: human capital theory, the dual labor market, and gender segregation.

In your discussion post, answer the following questions:

• Find an example of a successful effort to narrow the wage gap — either a government policy or a private company that addressed the issue with its own internal policies. Summarize the strategies or methods involved and the effects those strategies or methods produced.
• Could these same strategies or methods be effective across all areas of the labor force?
• What is one possible reason the wage gap has not narrowed across all jobs?

Let's discuss the idea of the American hero regarding Death of a Salesman. The American idea of a tragic hero differs substantially from the Ancient Greek idea of the tragic hero and one's tragic flaw. How do you find value in reading about such American tragic heroes such as Willy Loman? Be sure to support your ideas with details from the play as well as quoted passages. As always, make sure you use in-text citations and an end reference. What did you personally learn about human behavior from the historical aspects of the play and does this play's commentary on American consumerism resonate with what we see and experience in our society today?

You isolate a new drug that seems to kill bacteria. To understand the mechanism of the bacterial death, you do two experiments where you grow the bacteria in the presence of either radiolabeled methionine or radiolabeled uracil and then resolve the proteins or RNA as appropriate. Although the signal for the radiolabeled RNA stays constant in both treated and untreated samples, the amount of radiolabeled proteins is reduced in the treated sample.

A. Hypothesize how the drug is killing the bacteria.

B. After doing further experiments, you find that the drug has a very high affinity for the RNA sequence 5’-ACCUCC. Would you use this drug to treat human patients? Explain your answer.

As you like an adventure! assume that to celebrate graduation from Seneca College, you and your friends do a road trip ‘out west’. Along the way, you accept an entry-level human resources position in a global oil/gas drilling company - based in Calgary.

The company is sending a team of four drill crew to Qatar for four-months. Three of the crew are male and will work exclusively in the field, one of the crew is female and will support drilling logistics from the capital city of Doha.

1. What would you need to look for when you are assessing the personnel risk?
2. How would you prepare this personnel for life in Qatar?
3. Does gender make a difference?

1. A. Discuss the etiology of goiter development compared to that of a normal person.

B. List the three major endocrine cell types and their secretions found in the human pancreas.

C. Name and describe the roles of the substances produced by the exocrine portion of the pancreas.

2. A. A CBC is ordered for you and the sample of blood has just been taken. After proper procedures are observed and centrifugation occurs, the blood is separated into two major components. Name the liquid portion, the three proteins plus four other components contained in it.

B. Name the various cellular components in the formed elements and provide at least one feature for each of them.

C. Describe the flow of blood through the cardiovascular system.
