Instructions A concept map is used to help organize relationships between different concepts or ideas. It is a visual tool to connect how things are related to each other. In this assignment, you will be creating a concept map of the 4 primary tissue types and the subcategories of each of the primary tissue types. Tissue Concept Map Create a concept map of your choice; you can do this on a word document, PowerPoint, Adobe, Paint, or Hand-drawn. If you are unsure ask your instructor for other options if applicable. There is an example of a concept map at the end of this document for reference. The concept map needs to include: The four primary tissue types The function of each primary tissue type All subtypes of each primary tissue The function of each subtype An example of where you would find each subtype in the body A histological image or drawing of each subtype – A histological image is what the tissue type would look like under a microscope.  In addition to the concept map answer the following questions: What are the steps involved in tissue repair? Explain the process of tissue repair. Some tissues in the body regenerate or repair very well whereas others do not regenerate at all. Pick one tissue type or subtype that regenerates very well and explain why it does. Pick one tissue type or subtype that regenerates very poorly and explain why it does not regenerate well. Complete additional research on the topic as necessary, ensuring to cite and reference all material in APA format.

Pick a biome and ecosystem and create a 500-700 word essay addressing the following: Refer to the infographic provided and chose a biome to describe with an example ecosystem.  Provide one example of a keystone species found in the biome/ecosystem.  Why is this keystone species important to the biome/ecosystem?  What defines it as a keystone species? Provide an example of an invasive species found in the biome/ecosystem.  What are some of the negative impacts this invasive species has on the ecosystem?  What is being done to mitigate impacts? Provide one example of an endangered species found in the biome/ecosystem.  Briefly discuss the causes of the decline in the species and what is being done to help.    Please include at least 3 academic sources and make sure all sources are cited in your essay.  Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

In this reflective writing , I would like to agree or disagree & explain why ? And used examples in our day to day to respond to this reflective writing . You can cited a source if needed but it is not recommended Reflective writing about : I chose an article on studying dietary modifications to combat fatigue in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). The population being studied in the article is range from 18 to 70 years old, have clinically been identified as having RRMS by McDonald Criteria, are able to ambulate 25 feet with either no or unilateral support, living within 500 miles of Iowa City, and able to participate in dietary changes and shop for their food. These participants were further divided into two groups, the group values at 45 assuming a 25% attrition rate to continue with the 34 patients required in each group. To date the study has recruited 58 participants and is ongoing, with the group randomized blind to the study observer to a low fat or paleo diet. Changes in patient outcomes is measured by subjective report. As the expectation in the study is improvement in both groups, and the reported data is subjective, modifications to the study were added, with a 12 week observation of normal diet, and measure from and accelerometer for actual physical data was added. The study itself includes a 36 week, parallel, randomized trial with 2 groups broke into three 12 week intervals of observation, intervention, and follow up.

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are a hot button of controversy throughout the world. Crop plants and animals with modified genomes are offered as ways of saving humanity from famine, but raise worries about creating monsters that may have unforeseen effects. Find and read/view internet materials about GMOs, and then write about the following questions: 1. What are the benefits and risks of GMOs? What regulations, if any, should apply to them? 2. Should there be limits on research on GMOs? Why or why not?
