    The topic for week 14 is evolution and the origin of species. For week 14 you will look at a case study that leads you through an exploration of the evolutionary origin of apparently cooperative guarding behavior in meerkats. You will generate hypotheses, evaluate the predictions associated with them, and then analyze graphical data from the literature to determine which hypotheses for the evolution of this behavior are supported by evidence.

    You will be led to confront your misconceptions about altruism and solidify your understanding of how natural selection operates in animal groups to drive the evolution of specific behaviors.

    Part A

    Three C’s (Content, Concern, Connection)

    Content: Pick something from this case study that stood out to you in some way. It could be something new you learned, something that made you think about this subject in a different way, or something you found interesting. Share the content you chose with the class and explain why you chose it.

    Concern, or question: After reviewing this case study, what is one question or concern this content raised in your mind? This could be something that didn’t settle well with you, a question you have for future research or consideration, or something you’d like to know more about. Share this concern with the class and explain why you chose it.

    Connection: Why is the content in this case study important? How does it relate to the real world and/or why is this case study important? You could draw upon real world examples like something you read in the news recently, something from your favorite TV show, or any other form of connection between this case study and the importance of its content outside the classroom.

    Part B

    Then, from the case study, answer the following questions:

    • Introduction: Answer question 1
    • Part I: Answer questions 1-4
    • Part II: Answer question 2
    • Part III: Answer questions 2 and 4
    • Assessment: Answer questions 1 and 2

    *Make sure you include the parts and question numbers in your post so we know which questions you are answering (i.e. ‘Part II, Question 4’)

  • ileum and doudenum

    mineral salts and glucose are absorbed by the duodenum and ileum. Describe the absorption of mineral salts after taking a meal containg a lot of mineral salts

    2.Describe the absorption of glucose when concentration is higher int he blood than in the ileum.

  • Meiosis mitosis

    Goal

    Explore the processes of mitosis and meiosis, compare their steps and purposes, and describe the differences between plant and animal cell division.

    To achieve this goal, we will be completing the interactives below in class:

    If you missed class, please follow the instructions below:

    Make-Up Assignment: Mitosis & Meiosis in Plants and Animals

    Instructions

    • Access the Interactive Simulations
    • Complete the Simulations
    • Go through each simulation from start to finish.
      • Take notes on:
        • Each stage of the process (names & what happens)
        • The purpose of each process in the cell/organism
        • Key structural features you notice in plant vs. animal cells
    • Create Your Summary
    • In Google Slides, make 56 slides:
      • Title Slide Your name and title: Mitosis & Meiosis: Plant and Animal Cells
      • Mitosis Overview List stages in order with 12 bullet points per stage.
      • Meiosis Overview List stages in order with 12 bullet points per stage (you can combine Meiosis I & II or separate).
      • Similarities & Differences Between Mitosis and Meiosis Purpose, number of divisions, outcomes, chromosome behavior.
      • Plant vs. Animal Cell Differences Focus on structures and division specifics (e.g., cell plate vs. cleavage furrow, centrioles, gamete production).
      • Visuals Include 12 labeled images or screenshots from the simulations.
    • Submit
      • Share your Google Slides link in this assignment (make sure its set to Anyone with the link can view).
      • You can also create a PDF or Word document with the above information

    Tip:
    You can replay simulation sections if you need to review the visual details before writing your notes.

  • Assignment: Exploring Food Fermentation

    Assignment: Exploring Food Fermentation

    Description:

    The objective of this assignment is to deepen your understanding of food fermentation processes and their significance in food production. By exploring various types of food fermentation, you will learn about the biosynthetic pathways, responsible microbes, and the resulting fermented foods. This assignment will involve reading the provided materials, selecting a specific type of food fermentation, and creating a detailed PowerPoint presentation.

    Instructions:

    1. Read the Provided Materials:

    Review the article on from ScienceDirect.

    Read the article on from the NCBI website.

    1. Select a Type of Food Fermentation:

    Choose one type of food fermentation discussed in the NCBI article.

    1. Create a PowerPoint Presentation:

    Slide 1 – Title Slide: Include the title of your presentation, your name, and the date.

    Slide 2 – Introduction to Fermentation: Define fermentation and its importance in food production.

    Slide 3 – Selected Type of Fermentation: Describe the type of fermentation you selected.

    Slide 4 – Biosynthetic Pathway: Explain the biosynthetic pathway involved in this fermentation process.

    Slide 5 – Responsible Microbes: Identify and describe the microbes responsible for this fermentation.

    Slide 6 – Examples of Fermented Foods: Provide examples of foods produced using this type of fermentation.

    Slide 7 – Conclusion: Summarize the key points of your presentation.

    Slide 8 – Citations: Include all references used in APA format..
