Once you complete this learning activity, your next task will be to complete an assessment for grading using the quiz feature. The assessment will consist of a series of multiple choice and short answer questions, followed by a longer written response. You should prepare your response in advance so that you can add it in when you get to the end of the assessment. The instructions and marking criteria for this response are outlined below: Instru...

Effects of raising pH of EMB agar to 7.81. What would the consequence be of raising the starting pH of EMB agar to 7.8 (normal pH = 7ish)? Would it alter the selective nature of the media, the differential nature of the media or both? Would it be more or less sensitive (more = detects coliforms more easily, less = less likely to detect coliforms)? Explain your answer. 2. All bacteria are able to use citrate for e...
BL21 Gold Cells and Induction1. Why were BL21 gold cells used (what is in their genome), and what was added to induce its expression? 2. At what absorbance (OD600) were the cells induced and why? 3. How do you make 20 ml of STE (sodium chloride-Tris-EDTA) buffer? 4. What is the purpose of EDTA in this buffer? 5. How were the bacterial cells lysed (three ways)? 6.

Task1.I have calculated the nutrient density for protein in the regular Cheerios below. Using that process, calculate the nutrient density for Cheerios High Protein. Be sure to use the numbers from the Cheerios Protein label when doing your calculation. You can also refer to the “Nutrient Density Exercise with Key” under “Self-Assessment Tools” for Module One to remind you of how you calculate this. Show your math...
Research QuestionYou are required to write a short research proposal, relevant to the Research Methods Module for which you are submitting the coursework. The choice of subject area is up to you - however, it should be substantively different from the topic of your final dissertation. The topic and title of the proposal should ideally both come from you. In the event you are unable to come up with an area in which the proposal is to be formul...
G+ positive vs G- negative organisms1.Concerning G+ positive, coccus shaped organisms: describe how they differ from G- organisms and how you determine that you are working with a G+. 2.Discuss how you might differentiate between Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus lactis and why it might be important to tell the difference between the two. 3.Discuss the truth or fiction concerning this statement and why it is either true or false: "I ...
First, you have to summarize the article or chapter to determine what the author is arguing. Here is one plan for reading/writing summaries: 1) Read the essay from beginning to end, not stopping even if you don’t fully comprehend the piece. Force yourself to read it in one sitting! 2) Next, read the essay in sections, especially if the essay you’re summarizing is a long one, in order to summarize subsecti...
What is Phenylketonuria (PKU)?From the NIH:“Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inherited disorder of metabolism that causes an increase in the blood of a chemical known as phenylalanine. Phenylalanine comes from a person's diet and is used by the body to make proteins. Phenylalanine is found in all food proteins and in some artificial sweeteners. Without dietary treatment, phenylalanine can build up to harmful levels in the body, causing mental r...
Experiment OverviewTask: Sugars are carbohydrates and consist in single units known as monosaccharides, like glucose and fructose. These single monosaccharide units, termed monomers, can also be building blocks for larger sugars like disaccharides (two monomers), tri-saccharides (three monomers) or polysaccharides (many monomers). Recall from the chemical equation shown in your handout that one of the byproducts of fermentation by yeast is carb...

If you decide to involve family members or friends in your assignment,you will likely find it easy to generate interest in the topic.New advances in our understanding of genetics are being reported on a m...
Framing your research questionA. Make sure the paper starts on a general level with some type of introductory remarks before going into the details of the specific research question you are proposing. This can be accomplished by providing a frame of reference, a definition, or a discussion of the significance of the topic in the field.B. Provide a statement of the question, issue or general problem that you are examining. A common problem i...
Lab instructionsDownload the Primate Lab exercise sheet and 7 .pdfs. In face-to-face classes students are usually finished the lab in 1 hour to 1.25 hours.
