Do not use direct quotes at all in this paper. That is plagiarism in science even if you cite it. Title page Introduction paragraph Should include thesis statement that summarizes the main points of body paragraphs / subject of entire paper Broadly introduce topic. Explain enzymes, what affects them, what the paper is about, etc. Body paragraphs Should be at least 3 paragraphs – meaning you have 3 main points to explain about the topic Should have one sentence that summarizes the paragraph or introduces what the paragraph is talking about. Explain how different environmental variables affect enzymes and their function For example, each paragraph could be a different environmental variable, like pH or temp. Conclusion One paragraph that resummarizes the entire research paper Make sure to restate the thesis statement Don’t plagiarize your introduction Literature cited Put 3 sources in apa format in alphabetical order Be sure you cited each source in the text

Week 7 Chapter 12 1. Describe the mode of transmission of neural impulses involved with the sensations of pain, vision, and hearing 2. Describe diagnostic tests and treatment strategies relevant to alterations in hearing, vision, and pain management. Chapter 13 1.Describe the role of the neuroendocrine system in the stress response 2. Analyze the mechanisms of impairment that can lead to altered hormonal and metabolic regulation. Chapter 14 Questions: What are the potential etiologies for altered reproduction function? How does altered reproduction function develop? Who is most at risk for developing altered reproduction function? How can altered reproduction function be prevented? Describe benign prostatic hypertrophy. Explain how benign prostatic hypertrophy could lead to cystitis and kidney damage. Identify the manifestations of benign prostatic hypertrophy. Chapter 15 Questions: Explain the differences between altered ventilation and altered diffusion. Give an example of each.

After reading the web article on “Early life stress can leave lasting impacts on the brain”, please answer the following: What is the main function of the hippocampus? How is stress related to the hippocampus and amygdala? The authors mention that “unless we understand what part of the brain is affected, we won’t be able to tailor something to do about it,”. What type of therapy or treatment could you envision for a child with these experiences? Or an adult that had them and is now living with the long-term negative effects of a stressful childhood?

Two Seminar Reflections – Find scientific seminars on YouTube. They must be scientists presenting their original work and must be 40-60 minutes long each. Provide the link along with your submission. See reflection requirements by following the assignment submission links. After attending a biology seminar, please write a brief reflection. The reflection must include information about the talk and three (3) paragraphs: Title of the talk and complete name of the speaker One (1) paragraph summarizing the topic of the talk Another (1) paragraph reflecting on the good things the talk or the speaker had (design of the slides, organization, delivery, connection to the audience, etc.) A final paragraph reflecting on things that need improvement or things that you want to remind yourself to not do.

Lab Report Guidelines For the lab report, you will setup and perform designated 2 experiments. One will demonstrate diffusion, and the other will demonstrate osmosis. Based on the 2 experiments, you will prepare one lab report with experiments on Diffusion and Osmosis. See the experiment instructions provided. Be sure to follow these guidelines for your report. 1. A minimum of 2 references is required. – Credible websites, periodicals, books, newspapers, and journals to compliment your data may be used. 2. PLAGIARIZED PAPERS WILL AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVE A ZERO. NO COPYING and PASTING from websites! 3. Each section in the lap report must be properly labeled as Introduction, Materials & Methods…etc. 4. The length of the total lab report is a minimum of 7 pages –double spaced. See the lab report section instructions on the next page. 5. You may only use Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri 12 pt font. 6. The margins for each page should NOT be greater than 1 inch. 7. The report and each section MUST be organized in the following order. a. Title page b. Introduction c. Materials & Methods d. Results e. Discussions & Conclusions f. Works Cited 8. Each lab report section should follow the “Lab Report Section Instructions.” See the following page. 9. Grammar, spelling, and punctuation should be used correctly and consistently. Lab Report Section Instructions TITLE PAGE (1 page): Include the lab report title, class name, your name, and due date INTRODUCTION (1 FULL page min.): NO PICTURES • Introduce the topic of the experiment with sufficient background to show your clear understanding of the main topics in the lab exercise. • Background discussion(s) MUST include the following topics: diffusion, osmosis, selective permeability, cell membrane, tonicity, hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic solutions, etc. • For your hypothesis, state what you predict the outcome of each experiment will be and why you think so. MATERIALS AND METHODS (1-2 full pages): NO PICTURES in this section. First, list all materials used through each entire experiment Then, describe all procedures as they were performed (refer to instructions in the powerpoint). DO NOT copy and paste form my document. List the procedures with bullets or numbers. RESULTS: (2 pages min) • Include your pictures AND a graph or table displaying the results (time values, observations, & measured lengths) w • For each image, table, or graph, explain clearly, in sentence form, what the images or graphs are showing. Doing this provides a necessary description. DISCUSSION & CONCLUSIONS: (3/4 page min) • Summarize your results. • Explain why the solutions and materials used in the experiments are suitable. • Discuss whether or not the outcome is as predicted – the results support or refute your hypothesis • If it supports your hypothesis, how closely does it match – are there other factors involved • If not, why? What other factors might be involved? • Indicate the significance of this study (why should we study osmosis and diffusion) WORKS CITIED: (1 page) • Cite all references. The reference should include the author(s) name or initials, year of publication, journal or source, specific volume, and the pages.
