– The ability to communicate research findings effectively is crucial for success in the biological
sciences. This assignment will require you to produce a short written summary that effectively
communicates your results from the Natural Selection: Bacterial Transformation module.
The report includes several parts: an introduction and statement of the hypothesis you
tested, a description of the experimental set-up, results, and an evaluation of the hypothesis based
on the data obtained in your group’s experiment. The evaluation of the hypothesis should include
direct implications and broad implications from the experiment. The report must be submitted as a
single document via the Assignment (TurnitIn) link on CANVAS. All text shall be 12 pt. font.
– Introduction and Hypothesis statement (20%)
The first paragraph(s) of this section must be over the importance of the experiment. The
background information supplied should allow the reader to understand the theoretical and
practical necessity of the experiment. You need to cite one or two primary sources that relate to
the topic at hand, in this section. After the introductory paragraphs, the null and alternative
hypotheses shall be clearly stated for the experiment they were designed to test. (1 -2 sentences per
hypothesis).
– Experimental set-up (20%)
This section will be written in paragraph format and should explain where, when, what, and
how. (1 – 2 paragraphs). All necessary conditions under which the experiment was conducted must
be described explicitly and should allow the reader to replicate the experiment. Clearly describe the
treatments, indicating which treatment(s) is (are) the control(s). Describe materials used to create
the treatments. Explain how data were collected, what measurements were made and what kind of
instrument or equipment used. – Results (25%)
The first part of the results section must include a summary of the results in paragraph
format. The second part should include a graphical representation of the data. Use a graph to show your data. Do not include raw data calculations, here.
– Graphs
Required for all graphs:
 Label the x and y axes.
 Write a descriptive legend for each graph.
o Be sure to state what statistic (mean, mode, standard deviation, range) the bars and
error bars represent and how many replicates were used to calculate the mean.
Example, if there were 10 replicates, the number of replicates would be given as n =
10.
o Define any abbreviations used on the graph.
– Hypothesis Evaluation (25%)
Write a paragraph to evaluate whether the results you obtained are consistent with or not
consistent with the hypothesis you tested. Were the observed results consistent with the expected
ones? The second paragraph will compare your experimental results to the results obtained in the
Technique Lab. This section evaluates the experiment based on the interpretation and meaning of
the results. The third paragraph should relate the results of the study to the broader field of the study.
This section may also include references to primary sources (other research papers).
End your document with a list of references cited. Your Technique Lab document includes a
list of references that you can use as an example for citing your own references. use only the following article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31659373/
– Spelling and Grammar (10%)
Scientific results are mainly communicated through writing; therefore, your written
summary must be clearly and accurately presented. You should ensure there are no grammatical
errors that distract the reader from understanding the experiment or interpreting the data. Scientific
writing frequently uses the past tense, particularly when the main focus of the writing is to describe
experiments or observations that took place prior to the time of writing.
– Try not to use AI to generate the text for this assignment. If you choose to use AI to
generate portions of the text, be sure to use good prompts and to revise or edit for correctness. If you
turn in an assignment that is nonsensical or includes false/incorrect information, you may lose as
many as 50% of the maximum amount of points you could earn in this assignment. Also, know
that AI makes-up some information, so make sure to check that the references to research articles
are actually true, published, scientific papers, and refer to the information cited.
– No tables
No error bars on graphs (data: control – lawn, control amp – 9 colonies, ice – lawn, ice amp – 4 colonies)
Make sure axes are labeled and include a legend
Graph on excel
Use a primary source that depicts the importance of bacterial resistance (how does it affect human habit)
Include in text citation (last name of first author and the year) (Christaki 2019). also include mla citation at the end of report

The process of photosynthesis, fundamental to life on Earth, involves the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by green plants, algae, and certain bacteria. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll-containing organelles called chloroplasts absorb sunlight, which energizes electrons and drives a series of biochemical reactions. These reactions result in the synthesis of glucose, a simple sugar, from carbon dioxide and water, with oxygen released as a byproduct. Photosynthesis not only sustains autotrophic organisms by providing them with energy-rich organic molecules but also plays a crucial role in global carbon cycling and oxygen production, contributing to the maintenance of Earth’s atmospheric composition and climate stability.

Cells or individual cell lines can be grown in the laboratory, but how about tissues and organs? Watch the TED talk on bioengineering by Anthony Atala below on growing new organs and discuss the ethical guidelines you would think are needed (narrow or wide, innovation enabling) based on our ability to genetically modify organisms (GMO), cloning animals or growing synthetic tissues in the laboratory. give one primary post and one response to the discussion posted by others. https://www.ted.com/talks/anthony_atala_growing_new_organs
discussion to respond The proper research is necessary for Regenerative medicine, but it definitely plays a major role in biomedicine. The amount of patient lives that can improve is very promising. The guidelines that I believe are necessary would-be the measurable effects, such as risks, side effects, and safety concerns associated. But also, the effects on behavior, experiences, moral values, and social structures should also be considered. Malpractice is always the top concern but as long as it is being used for its intended purposes without putting people in harm it could make it very rewarding to humanity.

Tissues 1. Some argue simple scratches and minor cuts heal fine on their own wit

Tissues
1. Some argue simple scratches and minor cuts heal fine on their own without need for antibiotics. Do you agree, or should we treat all open wounds to prevent infections?
2. Many think collagen supplements can improve skin, joints, and even the aging process! Is this backed by science or just hype?
3. Cardiovascular exercise is healthy, but say some lifting weights and resistance training is unnecessary or vain. What is your perspective? Are resistance-based exercises worthwhile?
4. Blood transfusions save lives, but some religious faiths prohibit them.
a. Put yourself in the perspective of a patient. Would religious objections impact your choice?
b. Now, put yourself in the perspective of an integral part of the healthcare team. How would you approach your patient’s care?
5. Some argue flu shots and other common vaccines do more harm than good. What is your perspective – are vaccines safe and beneficial or not?

Option 1: Crabs All the Way Down
Podcast link: Crabs All the Way Down | RadiolabThis episode is a two-parter, a double-decker crab cake of sorts. Served up on a bed of lettuce and beautiful weirdness. The first layer comes from producer Rachael Cusick, and is a story she told live on stage at Pop-Up Magazine (http://www.popupmagazine.com as a part of their Fall of 2022 tour. It chronicles a cross-species love story between artist Mary Akers (http://maryakers.com/) and an overlooked pet store companion, a creature that even Chris Tudge (https://zpr.io/MyUNwPAaqewg) – the
scientist dedicated to this creature, you could say – could not get a ring on. The second layer is cooked up by Lulu, who tries to understand why crabs keep evolving (according to recent work by Jo
Wolfe (https://zpr.io/2GftY9RjbLkF), Heather Bracken-
Grissom (https://zpr.io/HhvMVfnThp5P) and Javier
Luque (https://zpr.io/xBiQHEtNSKZr)).
