Is that evidence referenced by the source?

For this writing assignment you will be utilizing the biology-related media news which you selected and summarized in Week 3 Discussion.

This below was my Biology-related media news.

“To validate the real world uses of osmosis in the medical and industrial fields, a different way of looking at the process was necessary. Three scientists Sophie Marbach, Hiroaki Yoshida, Lydéric Bocquet, with that goal in mind decided to think outside the box. When it comes to the way osmotic processes are studied, each stand is studied individually, like you would a banana and an orange. However, these three decided that it might be in the best interest of scientific progression to look at them on a grander scale; as fruit as opposed to individual categories of fruit. Armed with this new way of thinking, they forged forward and were successful in their endeavors. What they found was a whole new aspect of osmosis that was not previously available to them. And now, thanks to them, that information is now available to other scientist who wish to study this new unchartered territory.”

•Written Assignment: Science News Media Research

This assignment addresses course outcomes 1-4:

◦recognize and explain how the scientific method is used to solve problems

◦make observations and discriminate between scientific and pseudoscientific explanations

◦weigh evidence and make decisions based on strengths and limitations of scientific knowledge and the scientific method

◦use knowledge of biological principles, the scientific method, and appropriate technologies to ask relevant questions, develop hypotheses, design and conduct experiments, interpret results, and draw conclusions

Write a paper with title page, introduction, several paragraphs addressing the questions, conclusion and references. You must write in your own words and paraphrase information from your chosen information sources, addressing and analyzing the questions for your Science News Media article. Your paper should consist of less than 10% direct quotes. Your paper should be 750-1500 words, excluding references and title page. Use APA style for references: https://www.umuc.edu/library/libhow/apa_tutorial.cfm
