For this discussion, choose a type of cell that has not already been chosen and answer the following questions. This list of questions is not inclusive, so feel free to add in other information that you might find that is relevant to the topic.
What type of cell is it? What type of organism is the cell found in? Where in the organism is the cell found? What is its function or duty? How does it contribute to the ability of the organism to maintain homeostasis? Describe the cell’s characteristics. Are there organelles? Does the cell contain components that are unique to that type of cell? Can the cell reproduce, if so, how does this occur? Is this type of cell found in other organisms?For this discussion, choose a type of cell that has not already been chosen and answer the following questions. This list of questions is not inclusive, so feel free to add in other information that you might find that is relevant to the topic.

This is for my Biology Ecology class. I’ve uploaded the worsheet you should fill out in the files but I’ll put the instructions here as well.
Weekly Assignment: Mating Behavior
Background: Read the paper titled, “Male Mating Success and Risk of Predation in a Wolf Spider…” (I’ve uploaded a file of the paper) You only need to read the abstract (and then look at one of the graphs) to answer the questions.
Then answer the following questions:
1. What 2 traits are being affected by sexual selection in these spiders? How are these traits adaptations? Describe both traits.
2. Explain the tradeoff in sexual selection and natural selection.
3. What is the evidence that the male mating behaviors are selected against by natural selection?
4. Look at Figure 1a and 1b. What do they say about the selective advantage of the 2 mating behaviors?
5. What do you think would be a good follow-up experiment? You need to describe a complete experiment – w/ the question and hypothesis and control group, treatment group, dependent variable.
Please read the instructions:
1. All pages in attached Lab 7 need to get completed
2. There are instructions to answer each page on the attached Instructions to answer each page on LAB 7.docx
3. The attachement “Reconbinant DNA BIOTECHNOLOGYReconbinant DNA BIOTECHNOLOGY” is for Activity number 5
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
Written Report: Mid-semester I will ask you to write a two part report, note page requirements for each part.
Find a) a news article on a zoology research-related event within the past 12 months (verified to be true) with b) one original scientific article related to the event. Based on these write a minimum one- full –page, (not including heading) typewritten single space comparison of the information and wording article and how it relates/differs to the actual science paper (a real critique — not just “there are more numbers and graphs in the science paper”). Do NOT focus on summarizing. Minimum 1 page, maximum 2 pages.
Focusing on the animal in the paper in part 1, write out the complete classification (Check NCBI Taxonomy for your species.) of the animal from kingdom to species. Explain why the animal was classified into each level of classification and reason for the name chosen. Minimum 2 full pages, maximum 5 pages, typewritten, single-space. Must use more than two sources.
References to both sections must be included on the paper in Council of Science Editors (CSE) format for both on a separate page.
All parts are due at the same time. No submission will be received after the due date and time. Format: Times New Roman, 12 size font, single space with 1-inch margins.
Instructions
Overview
Practice activities are designed to solidify your knowledge of the module topics and prepare you for the more challenging case study assignment.
Specific instructions for this assignment are found in the Assignments section of the appropriate module in Content.
Submission Instructions
Answer the following questions.
1. Prokaryotes are all around us. Develop an experiment to visualize these microbes from an environmental sample.
2. Flagella are unique structures on some microbes. What role does flagella play to help microbes?
3. Eukaryotes can be found in a variety of environments. Describe at least 2 places where you might come in contact with eukaryotic microbes in nature. What makes this environment suitable for these microbes?
4. Scientists have argued for decades about whether viruses are alive. Using a pros and cons list, indicate at least 3 characteristics on both lists that support this argument.
Submit your Practice Activity as a .doc, .docx, or .pdf file to the Assignment Submission folder.
Write a Lab report, with two sections of around 400 words each. The specific requirements and data are in the document.Please read both documents carefully!The Figure legend needs to be used in the REPORT.
This discussion has four parts. In your own words and in no fewer than 100 words each, answer each of the following questions. Remember to provide in text citations, and to properly render reference(s) for each answer. See the bottom of this page for additional information on references. Just posting a link as a reference will earn you a 0 for acceptable ways to render references.
. What is fermentation? Give five examples of products that we eat or drink in which fermentation is involved.
b. Give four examples of fermentation (two for bacteria and two for fungi), including in what organisms they occur, what are the sources of food for the fermenting organisms, and what are the chemical products of each of those types of fermentation?
c. Describe the morphological diversity bacteria and the morphological diversity of fungi. Give five examples of each (5 for bacteria and 5 for fungi, 10 total).
d. Besides fermentation, describe the five other environmental roles of fungi and five other environmental roles of bacteria. Give one example of each (10 total).

b. That page includes lots of examples for reference citations and also this specific link for doing in-text citations: https://libguides.umgc.edu/c.php?g=1003870&p=7270658
c. The UMGC Library has a video about setting up the Literature Cited as a whole, if you need that: https://youtu.be/KoZV2efVdsM
It is vital to master information literacy. Make sure that your references are reliable, https://libguides.umgc.edu/credibility , and make sure to provide sources to scholarly articles, https://libguides.umgc.edu/articles .
Although this course, Microbiology of Human Diseases, focuses on the “bad” microbes that you encounter in health care, most of the world microbes do not cause disease, and in fact, can be beneficial to humans.
1. Give an example of a beneficial microbe(s) and how humans have benefited.
