  • Reflections on the Semester and Module Title: Making Connections: Reflections on the Semester and Module

    Background:
    There were lots of details in this module and it likely may have felt overwhelming. In your minute paper, address the questions below.
    Questions:
    We’ve seen some issues — like process control — that, in some respects, summarize much of what we’ve covered this semester. Consider these questions:
    • Did you see connections to earlier material? • What seemed particularly important in this module? • Any questions about what we covered?
    Finally, take some time to think back on the whole semester. We covered a lot of territory, which necessarily limits the depth that we can reach. Regardless:
    • What would you have liked to explore deeper? • What could you have done without?

  • Title: The Interrelationship of Microbial Pathogens, Hosts, and Antimicrobial Drugs in the Development of Chemotherapeutic Treatments

    Directions for the students: There are 4 essay questions. Please be sure to complete all of them with thorough substantive responses. Citations are required for all responses. There is no time limit.
    Construct a paragraph describing the interrelationship among the microbial pathogen, the affected host, and potential antimicrobial drugs in the development of an appropriate chemotherapeutic treatment.
    A critically ill patient enters your emergency room, exhibiting signs and symptoms of severe septic shock. In this case, should you immediately begin treatment with a broad-spectrum drug or a narrow-spectrum drug? Explain your answer and discuss any possible consequences of using either drug in the patient.
    Amphotericin B is often referred to as “Amphi-Terrible” in medical settings due to its effects in treated patients. Describe when this drug should be prescribed, and provide a biological reason for its damaging activity on host cells. HAART, or highly active antiretroviral therapy, is currently recommended for the treatment of HIV and involves the administration of three or more medicines at one time. Explain why this combined therapy approach is more effective than single drug treatment in the management of HIV infection, providing current evidence to support your answer.
    Antibiotic-resistance genes, as well as other virulence factor genes, are easily passed between bacterial cells through horizontal gene transfer. Conduct additional research on New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1 strains of bacteria, and explain why medical tourism poses a serious threat to the spread of this organism. Provide evidence to support your explanation.

    I have previously hired a writer to complete my rough draft research summary. Unfortunately, the writer did not complete the assignment properly and I received a 58%. My professor wrote comments on my paper and what needed to be adjusted. Now I am looking for a writer to complete my final paper with the necessary changes that my professor has mentioned. In the pdf I attached, it should have all of his annotations in blue boxes (if you can′t view them, please let me know). I have also uploaded the paper requirements and the research paper that my topic is about. Please reach out to me if there are any questions or confusion. Thank you

  • “Exploring the Vital Process of Photosynthesis: How Plants Convert Light Energy into Life-Sustaining Glucose”

    Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This process takes place in chloroplasts and is essential for producing oxygen and providing energy for the majority of life on Earth.

  • “The Surprising Conclusion: Hummingbirds Do Not Have a Sugar Preference” “Exploring Hummingbird Feeding Preferences: A Statistical Analysis of Visitation Patterns”

    The CONCLUSION:
    ● make sure to mention that our scientific hypothesis was wrong and restate it
    ● Our scientific hypothesis:
    ● FOUR sentences max.
    Explain why the outcome is interesting. Don’t assume it’s obvious.
    Briefly summarize the key findings of the study, including any significant trends or patterns observed.
    Based on the results, what can be concluded about hummingbird feeding preferences and their response to varying sugar concentrations?
    Are there any recommendations or implications for future research, conservation efforts, or practical applications based on the findings? The information you’ll need: Title: Hummingbird Feeder Preference Based on Sugar Concentration
    Objective: To investigate if hummingbirds exhibit a preference for a specific sugar concentration in feeder solutions.
    Our scientific hypothesis was that Hummingbirds will prefer Feeder C with 50% sugar concentration, spending the highest average time at this feeder compared to Feeder A with 10% and
    Feeder B with 25% sugar concentration.
    Materials:
    ● Three hummingbird feeders (Feeder A, Feeder B, Feeder C)
    ● Sugar water
    ● Measuring cups
    ● Stopwatch
    Procedure:
    1. Prepare sugar solutions for 3 feeder by dissolving the specified amount of sugar in water.
    2. Hang the feeders at equal distances from each other and at a similar height in an area frequented by hummingbirds.
    3. Record the number of hummingbirds visiting each feeder and the duration of their visits.
    4. Rotate the positions of the feeders each week
    5. At the end of the 3-week period, analyze the data to determine if there is a preference for a specific sugar concentration.
    Read the experiment and come up with data for each day
    Experimental Design:
    ● According to research, “It’s a well-known fact that hummingbirds are attracted to the color red—it’s the hue most hummingbird feeders are and the shade some retailers suggest coloring the sugar water mix to fill those feeders.”
    1. Selection of Feeders: Three identical hummingbird feeders will be used for the experiment, labeled as Feeder A, Feeder B, and Feeder C. Each feeder will contain a different concentration of sugar solution:
    ● Feeder A: 10% concentration (1 tablespoon sugar: 1⁄2 cup + 2 tablespoons water)
    ● Feeder B: 25% concentration ( 1 tablespoon sugar: 1⁄4 cup water)
    ● Feeder C: 50% concentration ( 2 tablespoons sugar: 1⁄4 cup water)
    2. Feeder Placement: The feeders will be placed in a garden or outdoor area that is known to attract hummingbirds. They will be hung at approximately the same height and width from each other to minimize any location bias. The feeders will be placed in a way that allows easy observation and access for the hummingbirds.
    3. Observation Period: The study will span four weeks, with observations conducted daily in the morning. Each observation session will last for 15 minutes to ensure consistency in the data collection process.
    4. Positional Bias: To prevent positional bias, the feeders will be rotated to different locations within the study area each week. This will help ensure that any observed preferences are not influenced by the specific location of the feeders.
    5. Record the following data for each feeder:
    ● Number of hummingbirds that visit each feeder
    ● Duration of each visit (in seconds)
    6. At the end of the 3-week period, analyze the data to determine:
    ● The total number of visits to each feeder
    ● The average duration of visits to each feeder
    ● The preferred feeder based on the total number of visits and/or the average duration of visits.
    Hypothesis:
    Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no difference in the preference of hummingbirds for different sugar concentrations.
    Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): Hummingbirds exhibit a preference for a specific sugar concentration.
    Bio Concepts Included:
    ● This experiment incorporates concepts of animal behavior, specifically the foraging behavior of hummingbirds in response to varying sugar concentrations.
    Data Analysis:
    ● Calculate the total number of visits and average duration of visits for each feeder.
    ● Use statistical analysis (t-tests or ANOVA) to determine if there are significant differences in the
    number of visits and duration of visits between the feeders.
    ● Determine if there is a preferred feeder based on the data.
    Conclusion: The results of the experiment will provide insights into the feeding preferences of hummingbirds and contribute to our understanding of their foraging behavior.
    Super sorry I forgot to add this: RESULTS: Total Time Spent at Each Feeder:
    – Feeder A: 60.88 seconds
    – Feeder B: 108.81 seconds
    – Feeder C: 30.25 seconds
    Average Time Spent per Visit:
    – Feeder A: 2.77 seconds
    – Feeder B: 4.94 seconds
    – Feeder C: 1.37 seconds
