This assignment is a research discussion paper that must include the following questions below. Thank you. What are some of the main flu pandemics that have occurred in history? What species do you think the next flu pandemic will be derived from? Will this pandemic be as severe as the past flu pandemics? How would a flu pandemic differ from the annual influenza infections? How long would it take vaccinations to be developed against a strain of flu? How does this compare to a timeline of infection?

You are required to use the attached template when developing your report. Read the instructions carefully, and do not add or delete any sections of this template. Any Figures and Tables should be appended to the end of the document, and each Figure/Table must be numbered and included a short informative title, and be cited explicitly in the text of your report. Present each Figure/Table on a separate page.

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.

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).

As part of the course students must write a term-paper on a vaccine, an antimicrobial or a disease caused by a microorganism and explore information provided by the CDC, WHO, and literary sources for a total of at least five resources. The term paper should include a summary of the research and provide the Web sites and references utilized for the research. Each student must have a different disease, antimicrobial or vaccine to research. The term paper must be typed with 1” margins, double spacing and a 12 point Times Roman font. The paper should also include a reference list. A minimum of five references must be utilized. The American Psychological Association format must also be utilized for the paper. The paper should be between five and seven pages in length (not including cover page, abstract, references, exhibits, etc.). -What’s the patho of disease -What microorganisms caused disease -How is it spread -What are some preventative measures -How is it treated or managed  -What type of treatment can be used; during and after

This week’s discussion involves one part. Be sure to completely respond to the prompt in your post. Pick one cell organelle, describe its structure and function and then discuss how it works with another cell organelle. Don’t forget to add a question to get the class engaged in discussion.

Check the news from the suggested sources listed below at least five separate days every week. For each day choose one article and list the title and citation (and or weblink) of the article next to the date. Read each article that you choose for each day. Make sure you list the citation or a link to the article if emailing monitoring assignment. We check citations! Do not use the same news source for every article that you list. The point is to get you familiar with the industry through a variety of news portals. Try using at least 3 different source each week. Choose ONLY ONE of the FIVE articles that you listed and provide a written summary on that article at the end of your assignment. The summary will summarize the article and it’s relevant to the industry. Do NOT plagiarize from the article. It must be an original summary of the article. The summary needs to be one or two paragraphs on the topic of article and any comments you might have on the news or information.

Include a copy of your full primary article. Article must relate to your topic, it must have being published within the last 5 years and be experimental based (article includes material and methods, results, discussion).
