 In preparation for your wildlife management plan, continue to do some research on the species you choose for your Proposal last week. Consider questions such as, what are its specific habitat needs? Will you have major concerns with predation, parasites, and pathogens, and how so? Next, visit a mapping web site (e.g., Google Maps) and use the satellite background (not the map or the topographic […]

Many growth factors act only on nervous tissues (neurotrophic factors) and are implicated in neural development. Design an experiment (based on your readings of the scientific literature) that will allow you to show how a particular growth factor, such as FGF8, is involved only in the development of the nervous system and not any of the other organ systems.

 Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that is used by neurons that innervate muscles and also in the parasympathetic nervous system, which broadly is the calming part of the nervous system. (The activating part of the nervous system, responsible for the fight-or-flight response is called the sympathetic nervous system.) In “cholinergic” synapses, acetylcholine is released into the synapse, it binds to receptors on the post-synaptic cell to […]

An ambulance took him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead (Briscoe, 2012). In another case, […]

Louis Pasteur’s experiment that refuted spontaneous generation and Robert Koch’s development of Koch’s postulates were both critical advances in the field of microbiology. Pick one and argue its importance over the other. Be sure to address these two points in your argument: 1.) How did the scientist’s work contribute to our current understanding of microbiology and disease? 2.) What specific modern medical practices are directly […]

Discoveries in DNA, cell biology, evolution, biotechnology have been among the major achievements in biology over the past 200 years with accelerated discoveries and insights over the last 50 years. Consider the progress we have made in these areas of human knowledge. Present at least three of the discoveries you find to be most important and describe their significance to society, health, and the culture […]
