Congratulations! You have been hired to be world-renowned chemist, Dr. Ima Muchmerry’s, new lab assistant for the term. She would like you to meet her in the Chemistry lab today at noon. One of the fundamental tasks of a lab assistant is to be able to easily convert units of measurement from metric to the […]

Explain basic atomic structure.   Interpret the Periodic Table of Elements.   Analyze the principles of chemical reactions.   Apply the scientific method to experimental data.   Apply principles of measurement.   Please answer the following questions with supporting examples and full explanations.   For each of the learning objectives, provide an analysis of how […]

Compare (similarities) and contrast (differences) ionic and covalent bonding.   Make sure to discuss valence electrons and electronegativity of the atoms involved.   Give an example of a molecule formed with each type of bonding. In your example, give the chemical formula and give the IUPAC name of each molecule.   Finally, list 1 additional […]

Energy comes into the body through carbohydrates, fats, lipids and proteins and this food energy is transferred to cellular energy through digestion, absorption and transportation.   Describe in detail, the process of energy extraction from one of the pathways discussed this term.   What specific reactions are taking place within the body or outside the […]

Methods for Scientific Inquiry Presentation Group Project Overview Work with your group to finalize an eight to ten slide (length does not include the cover or references slides) PowerPoint presentation with references about your group’s assigned research method. You may use Zoom or other appropriate recording program to record your narration of the presentation.   […]

Methods for Scientific Inquiry Peer Review One group member from each group submits their Word document containing the website/URL for their presentation by Day 4. Additionally, one group member should submit the same Word document containing their website/URL for their presentation to Week 5 Assignment 1: Methods for Scientific Inquiry Presentation Group Project by Day […]

Computing devices often face a trade off between performance and power source – the higher the performance, the more it will require from the power source. It’s easy to overlook this relationship with a device that is plugged into an AC outlet, but the necessity of a power source remains – computing devices are nothing […]

1.) Define transcription and translation. How does transcription and translation differ in prokaryotes vs. eukaryotes (i.e. What is present in one but not the other)?   2.) What it means when we say that genetic code is redundant?   3.) Describe the stages of transcription in eukaryotes (in detail for each step) – what components […]

Most people think of electrocution from overhead wires or dangerous  power lines. However, there are also small circuits, such as the ones  you learn to design in this course, that are very dangerous. One such  example is the electronic cigarette, or E-Cig for short (See Figure 1  below). This is actually a small systems engineering […]

Correctly recognize, represent, and interpret the formulas (structural, line, condensed) and functions of each of the main classes of biomolecules; lipids, carbohydrates, and amino acids/proteins               Look up the structural formula for D-fructose and draw it below in the notation of your choosing (if you find both ring and […]
