What is the importance of osmosis and water potential in plant cells?What is it important to know the water potential of cells (particularly of foods like potatoes which we may wish to store and preserve)?

Finding the mean water potential of potato tuber cells and carrying semi-quantitative tests for reducing sugars

What is the aim of your practical, i.e. what do you aim to achieve?
What is your hypothesis? What do expect to find?
Look back at the introduction section for Lab 1 in your lab handbook to help you

Give a background/context for your practical here:

Give a summary of the current state of knowledge about this topic, e.g. what types of cells are you investigating and why is this a good choice – introduce the potato tuber and state its latin name?

What is osmosis? Define the key terms (isotonic, hypertonic, hypotonic).

What are some important biological examples of osmosis?

What is water potential and how is it affected by solute concentration?

Your patient has lost 50 pounds and started seeing a therapist for stress management. What affect would each of these have on her blood pressure. Specifically, how would each of these factors influence blood pressure, list the neurotransmitters involved, the physiological principles involved, and any anatomical structures involved.

Phys 2535 Midterm Exam Case review
Rules of the game
1. Each student will be assigned a case study
2. Your answers must include the following:
a. You must give at least 2 physiological process involved/happening in the assigned case
b. Briefly describe the relevant anatomy
c. You must cite where you got your information from. This does not have to be in APA format it can be simply be source and page number. Websites are fine, but it must be peer-reviewed or a university site. If you use a website, you must include the site address so I can verify the information. Wikipedia does not count
3. Each student will write a 1-page (12 font) paper to answer to their case.
4. This assignment should take 1 to 1 1/2 hours to complete
5. Late submissions will not be accepted

What is the mutation that causes the disease? What are the effects of having this mutation (in other words, how does the disease present)? Are there any cures for this disease? Write at least 150 words. Be sure to give citations and references for all of the information.

Discussion

For this discussion, do some research about a particular genetic diseases. Tell the class about the disease you chose to discuss.

Why would some bacteria become resistant to antibiotics? Explain this in terms of evolution by natural selection.The average generation time for bacteria is 20-30 minutes. How would this be afactor in bacteria developing resistance to antibiotics?

Antibiotics in Evolution

Description of the Output:
A 2-3 page paper on a driving question guiding this topic on evolution: “Why would some bacteria become resistant to antibiotics? Explain this in terms of evolution by natural selection.

Use the following guidelines below as points that you can use to answer the question. You can include other points not included below.

a. Have you used antibiotics before and if so, when?

b. Antibiotics have been around since 1933. How did people fight infections prior to the discovery of antibiotics?

c. Do you think people always need antibiotics when they are sick or have an earache?

d. The average generation time for bacteria is 20-30 minutes. How would this be afactor in bacteria developing resistance to antibiotics?

Power plants that produce electricity often release CO2 into the atmosphere, which can be dangerous for animal life. Do you think planting more trees would make this problem better or worse?

1. Power plants that produce electricity often release CO2 into the atmosphere, which can be dangerous for animal life. Do you think planting more trees would make this problem better or worse? (Either answer could be correct, but you need to back it up with good evidence and reasoning.)

2. Many scientists are concerned because CO2 levels in the atmosphere appear to be increasing. If this happens, how do you think plants and the atmosphere will affect each other? Make sure you include both respiration and photosynthesis in your answer.
