7 Eukaryotic Cell StructureBackgroundCells come in all different sizes and shapes. They are classified into two major groups based on structure. Prokaryotic cells are much smaller and do not contain any membrane-bound organelle. Eukaryotic cells are larger and contain numerous membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells will be examined in the laboratory exercise that will survey the diversity of life on earth. This laboratory exercise will focus on the structure of the two most common types of eukaryotic cells: plant and animal cells.To appreciate the cell in action, watch The Inner Life of the Cellby BioVisions at Harvard University (3 min 12 sec). This video  shows movement of organelles and substances inside your cells in real time.PurposePrepare wet mounts of plant and animal cells for microscope observation.Use the light microscope to compare and contrast the structure of plant vs. animal cells.Materials (demonstrated in video)MicroscopeMicroscope slides  and cover slipsToothpickWater (or 0.9% sodium chloride solution)Medicine dropperMethylene blue (or iodine) stainElodea plantCheek cellsOnline: Virtual microscope with plant slideProcedure for plant cellView how to prepare a wet mount of an Elodealeaf (2 min 30 sec) ORhow to prepare a wet mount https://youtu.be/UWbGZMO4o_U(2 min 30 sec)To create a wet mount of an Elodea leaf, this general procedure was followed.Put a drop of water on the center of a slide.Cut an extremely small piece of an Elodea leaf and place it on the water.Place a coverslip onto the slide.Observe the plant cell slide under the virtual microscope by following this procedure.Go to the virtual microscope.Click Launch and then ExploreClick the “?” in the microscope slide boxIn the slide catalogue, select “Plant Slides”.Inside, select “Plant Cells.” The virtual microscope loads the Plant cell slide at the center of the stage.

Personal SWOT Analysis, assignment help

As part of furthering your exploration to understand your “why,” you will analyze yourself at present using a SWOT analysis to guide your thinking. A SWOT analysis is a tool commonly used as part of the strategic planning process when starting a new business or project. Business owners carefully examine the strengths and weakness of their proposed venture and the opportunities and threats posed by the internal and external environments. In doing so, they can pinpoint those areas in which they may have a natural advantage and can identify current gaps between the skills and resources that they and their business currently possess.

In your case, completing a SWOT analysis exercise can help you focus on what you want to achieve, the areas in which you want to continue to grow, and the potential obstacles that you plan to overcome so that you can meet challenges with confidence and take advantage of the opportunities that come your way. This week’s Assignment is the first of several you will complete in this course that will help you leverage the resources you have at your disposal to create a roadmap for how you will achieve your goals.

To prepare for this Assignment, review the Learning Resources for the week, including the “Introduction to the Doctoral Journey” media, and consider the various aspects of your life, including your professional and personal commitments, your goals and reasons for pursuing your DBA degree, how you manage your time, how you handle stress and change, how prepared you feel to begin your doctoral journey, etc. Use the Personal SWOT Analysis Worksheet Template within the Learning Resources to complete this self-assessment. Consider using the tips mentioned in the “Managing from the Inside Out” video prior to the completion of your Self-Assessment paper.

By Day 7

Submit a 3- to 5-page Self-Assessment in which you do the following:

  • Explain why you are pursuing a doctoral degree.
  • Briefly describe the results of your SWOT analysis.
  • Formulate three goals you plan to accomplish as a result of (or in conjunction with) completion of your DBA degree.
  • Compose at least three personal or professional strengths that will aid you in achieving your goals and at least three challenges that might prevent you from reaching your goals.
  • Assess how prepared you are to overcome these challenges, including any strategies you have developed or resources you may draw on to help you achieve your goals.
  • Conclude why earning your DBA degree can not only help you to achieve your goals but can create opportunities for you as a global change agent to devise solutions to complex business problems and to effect positive social change in the world and/or your community.

Anthropology Paper

First Writing AssignmentAnthropology 100Diamond, Jared The Third ChimpanzeePrologue, Chapters 1 and 2, and EpilogueMyths and storytelling are an integral part of the human experience.  Remember that anthropologists use the term “myth” in a way that is different from common usage.  When an anthropologist refers to a specific story as a “myth,” s/he does not mean that it is false.  Anthropologists define myths as stories that have significant social meanings and often prescribe codes of correct, ethical behavior and/or prohibit incorrect, unethical acts.  In other words, myths may or may not be “factual,” but they are always “true.”  Truth and fact are two different concepts.  The sentence “thou shalt not steal” is a truth because it prescribes a specific rule to live by, but it is not a “fact” because some people do steal.   The sentence “theft and property crime declined by 7.2% over the past 30 years” is a “fact,” but not a “truth,” because it describes the way things are, but doesn’t offer any advice concerning what we should do about it.Science is often considered to be an “objective” exercise, and to a large extent this is correct.  However, the information discovered by scientists can have “mythical” implications, just as much as any other information.  Jared Diamond discusses many facts in The Third Chimpanzee, but he does not stop with simple description.  Instead, he uses these facts to try to arrive at a number of ethical truths concerning how we should act.For your paper, read Diamond’s Prologue, Part One (Chapters 1 and 2), and Epilogue (Nothing Learned,  and Everything Forgotten?) and look for the following themes:1) Taxonomy: Classification is never “value free.”  The way we organize our experiences into conceptual categories is influenced by the way we think the world should be.  In turn, our classification systems influence the way we think things “really are.”   What is Diamond’s opinion of the way humans, common chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), and bonobos (“pygmy chimps,” Pan paniscus) are classified?  How should they be classified, according to Diamond?  Is Diamond’s argument convincing?  Why or why not?2) Ethics:  The way we treat others is, in part, influenced by how well we know them (or how well we think we know them).  If chimpanzees were re-classified as members of our genus, would we treat them the same way as we do now (e.g. putting them in zoos, performing medical experiments on them, and destroying their habitat by deforestation)?  If not, why not?3) Speculation: A few million years ago, there were several species of large-brained, human-like creatures on earth, and  as recently as 29,000 years ago, there were two (humans and neandertals).  Today, there is only a single species of large-brained, bipedal hominid left on the planet.  In your opinion, and based on your readings in Diamond and Kottak, and on lectures, what might modern life be like if there were two species of intelligent, culture-using hominids alive today?  Would we get along, or would we fight?  Would we cooperate or compete?  Would we welcome them into our society, or would we shun them?  Why do you think this would be the case, and do you feel that this should be the case, or would you oppose the general trends?  Why or why not?(These three topics can be the basis for three “body paragraphs” in a five paragraph essay.)Your writing must meet college-level standards, and your paper should be a minimum of 5 to 7 pages.
