This is a microbiology paper. The focus needs to be specific to the effects of oxygen both positive and negative, on microorganisms as well as the human system. Nothing about oxygen in the atmosphere, or in the ocean, or space. I don’t need the origin, or chemistry, unless it pertains to microorganisms, or cellular level. The page will be put through plagiarize software so siting is important. I would like sources that come from microbiology if possible.

SEE EXAMPLE I ATTACHED written synopses (2 pages): 1.After reading the paper a.state the major “global” question being addressed. b.state the overall hypothesis being tested. c.give a general synopsis of the strategy used to address the question. 2.Pick one figure/table that, as a reviewer, you believe was crucial for publication and, if omitted, would have weakened the impact of the article. Then state a.the major hypothesis tested by experiments for that figure. b.the experimental strategy employed. c.the conclusion that can be made from the data in the figure. d.how the paper is weakened without the figure. Focus: • The impact of seminal studies linked to contemporary issues in medicine and science. Understand a historical perspective. • Critically evaluate the positives of published papers. This includes: The global hypothesis. Understanding how the investigators built their study from previously published work. Understanding the significance of: Their conclusions.Their data.

Muscular dystrophies are a group of diseases that cause weakness and degeneration of the skeletal muscles. While all types exhibit similar physical effects, their cause is not the same. Below is a list of the muscular dystrophies. Choose one to focus on for your Module 7 Lab Assignment.  Provide detailed information, in your own words using quotes sparingly, describing the features of a specific form of muscular dystrophy, including causes, symptoms, etc.  Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMD) Bethlem CMD Fukuyama CMD Muscle-eye-brain diseases (MEBs) Rigid spine syndromes Ullrich CMD Walker-Warburg syndromes (WWS) Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) Myotonic dystrophy (DM) Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD)

Instructions For this final paper, you must be more formal than with your past weekly journal/reflection papers. The topic for your final paper is Evolution.  Despite evolution’s potential for personal controversy, it is an essential element of biology and our natural world. In this paper, you will outline your response to a hypothetical situation by presenting your supporting arguments and summarizing your conclusion. Hypothetical Situation Imagine on the first day during which your class is discussing evolution, a fellow student says to you, “I don’t believe in evolution or that it creates new species of organisms.” What would you say back to this student? Do you agree with them? Does the scientific evidence agree with them? Why or why not? Support your response to the student with the scientific concepts we are learning about in class. Details This submission is required to be a minimum of 3 pages, double?spaced, 12 point standard font, in APA format, and with additional works cited page. 20.0 pts Exemplary – Thoughtfully considers both sides, specifies a response, clearly connects to scientific evidence and ends with a comprehensive conclusion tying all the elements together. 15.0 pts Exemplary – Supplements paper with MORE than 3 relevant and appropriate resources that are clearly incorporated into the body of the paper. 10.0 pts Exemplary – The paper is extremely well organized, makes transitions from paragraph to paragraph, no spelling or grammatical errors, and no evidence of plagiarism. 5.0 pts Exemplary – The paper completely adheres to the formatting requirements laid out in the instructions (including proper reference citation).

Genetic Ethics Debate Abstract: Students select topics relating to bioethical questions which they research and debate.  Goal of this activity: To provide an opportunity for students to investigate bioethics questions, to research background information, and to present their topic to classmates in a debate format. Background Information: With the revolution in the areas of molecular biology, including gene therapy and the work of The Human Genome Project, there arise many questions of interest and concern to society. Research in the areas of gene manipulation and the ethical, legal, and social implications, that this research will have on society are being presented in the media and literature. This activity provides students with a chance to investigate topics of interest and to provide a comprehensive overview of the topics, in a debate format for their peers.  Debate Topics: Guidelines:  Each member of the class will chose one of the topics listed below. Research the topic to obtain background information. You can begin with your textbook, but must include other sources. Create an argument either for or against your topic and post in the discussion board on Blackboard. Remember that this is an exercise in which there is no right or wrong answers and you are to respect your classmate’s positions. You may not agree with them and that is ok. Formulate an educated opinion before expressing your thoughts. Remember the issues need to be discussed rationally by all members of the class. In order to receive full credit for the discussion board you must follow the guidelines within the grading rubrics. You must contact me with what number you have picked- first come, first serve. No more than two students can argue on the same topic. The first thread in this discussion board will outline who is doing what topic. If you have a different topic in mind other than the ones below- email me and I will approve.  The topic I chose to debate is: 2.) Rats have been used by scientist to develop a nasal spray gene therapy for cystic fibrosis. Mice can manufacture some human proteins in their blood. Dogs were important in developing treatments for hemophilia and bone marrow transplants would not be possible without earlier work done with dogs. Many people object to the use of mammals in experiments. Do you feel that animal models of human genetic disease are necessary? Should treatments be allowed on laboratory mammals before attempting the treatment on humans

Hello, This assignment is from a general biology course. Please use as many academic references as necessary but include citations. AVOID plagiarism at all costs. I am hoping that the person I hire would agree to continue to work with me throughout the rest of the semester. If you have any questions PLEASE contact me, that way we can avoid any time be wasted. This assignment consists of five questions. Each of your responses should be one or more paragraphs long, depending upon the depth of the question. An answer consisting of only a few short sentences is insufficient, and will receive a poor grade.  Be sure to cite any and all sources correctly so that your academic integrity is not called into question. Copy the following questions and add your answers. 1. Why is evolution is one of the most important major themes of life? How does it explain both of the following characteristics of life on Earth? the unity of life the diversity of life Be sure to include specific examples in your answer. 2. Explain the various reasons why atoms and molecules form chemical bonds and explain the differences between different types of chemical bonds. 3. Why is water so important to living organisms? Be sure to discuss the four emergent properties of water discussed in your textbook. 4. Organic chemistry is an entire discipline devoted to studying carbon compounds. What characteristics of carbon atoms enable them to form into such large complex molecules in living organisms? How do functional groups change the characteristics of organic molecules? 5. Compare the structure of the four major biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) and explain how the distinct structure of each type of molecule enables it to carry out its particular function.
