I don’t know how to handle this Environmental Science question and need guidance.

Ecological Footprint Template

1. Using this link, click on the United States and record the following for the most current year available:
   Biocapacity per person:
   1. Ecological Footprint per person:
   2. Biocapacity Reserve (+)/ Deficit (-):
2. Choose any other county and repeat
   1. Country chosen:
   2. Biocapacity per person:
   3. Ecological Footprint per person:
   4. Biocapacity Reserve (+)/ Deficit (-):
3. How did the country that you selected compare to the US with respect to the values? What factors do you think influenced your findings?
4. Using this link, enter in your personal information and calculate your own ecological footprint.
   1. If everyone lived like you, how many Earth’s would we need?
   2. What is your ecological footprint in global hectares?
   3. What is your carbon footprint (CO2 emissions in tons per year)
   4. What is your carbon footprint (P% of your total ecological footprint)
5. Using this link investigate the state of the nation and the “the state of the states” by examining the chart that outlines the ecological wealth of the United States and answering the following questions:
   1. How does your ecological footprint compare to that of the United States?
      1. Suggest possible reasons for the differences between your own footprint and the USA average
   2. How does your ecological footprint compare to that of the state in which you live?
      1. Suggest possible reasons for the differences between your own footprint and your state
   3. Choose another state. How does your ecological footprint compare to that of the chosen state? (Be sure to list the state that you chose)
      1. Suggest possible reasons for the differences between your own footprint and your chosen state
6. Summary Question: To summarize the experience of examining the ecological impact of your own county, state and personal impact, please address the following reflection questions:
   1. What is your reaction to your own ecological footprint? Were you surprised? Was it higher or lower than you expected? Summarize your feelings and thoughts about the experience of determining your own environmental impact.
   2. What is your reaction to your state and nation? Were you surprised? Was it higher or lower than you expected? Summarize your feelings and thoughts about the experience of determining the environmental impact of your state and your country on the world.
   3. What (if anything) do you think people should do? Should people attempt to reduce their ecological footprints and impact on the environment? Why or why not? If you do feel that they should; what are some ways that humans could curb their consumption? If you do not feel that humans should attempt to reduce their impact on the environment, explain.

I’ll submit the sylabbus and also if you require any questions or more pictures of the lab manual i will send, i need to get this questions done asap!

You will receive an email with two unknown organisms (Unknown A and Unknown B), along with the Results Table. You must download the files to go through the experiments. You need to download both the presentation and the Results Table PDF. You will go through the PowerPoint in presentation mode and write the results down by hand. Once you have identified your unknown bacteria you will fill out the Results Table and submit that here for your grade. If you did not receive an email, or have any questions, please contact me ASAP! There is a powerpoint to reference however I will submit that file once the tutor is chosen.

1. Reading and understanding food labels can often feel like having to understand an entirely new language. However, it is important that consumers are able to read and interpret the nutrient content in the foods they consume.For this assignment, you will need to compare the nutrition labels (provided) for two types of crackers, and then answer a series of questions. Use the Food Label Worksheet below.

1. What are the primary classes of mutations and how do they occur? Here are some good sources for this question.

2. Are mutations always deleterious?Give an example of a mutation that has either no ill effect or perhaps a useful one.

3. What are transposons? How might they be related to mutation?

5. What is “junk” or non-coding DNA?  About how much of the human genome does it comprise? What importance may it have?

Part Two: Due Thursday by 6pm

a recommendation (at least two paragraphs long) for a promising treatment of the genetic disease you selected. The recommendation should include:

• A brief description of the genetic disease and how it occurs
• An explanation of the treatment you selected
• Reasons why this treatment is particularly promising
• References to at least two sources outside of the Required Resources
• All references cited in APA format

Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review Chapter 6 “Cancer” in the course text and consider the following:
  • What a mutation is
  • The causes and effects of particular mutations
• Review Chapter 9, “Genetically Modified Organisms,” focusing on how genetic mutations occur and ways genetic modification is being considered in the treatment of genetic disorders.
• Conduct research to learn more about human genetic diseases. Identify one that particularly interests you. Learn more about the disease and how it is being treated, as well as treatments under development. Compare and contrast the treatments you read about to identify one that you find particularly promising.
  • Explore the Internet, especially websites that contain news and articles about genetic diseases and their treatment. This week’s Optional Resources suggest websites where you could start your search.

I’m working on a anatomy writing question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Chemistry is important as its own subject and also as part of the study of anatomy and physiology. To truly understand anatomy and physiology, including the processes that take place in the human body, you also need some knowledge of chemistry and chemical processes.

• Describe two of the chemicals and chemical processes that are most important to human life.
• Describe a chemical process you have seen in action. When and where did it happen? What took place when you observed this process?
• How does that process relate to one or more of the chemical processes that happen in the human body?
