BIO 1.1

profileberard6

For your Session Long Project, SLP, you will analyze current scientific studies related to the important events such as the Deepwater Spill. 

In Modules 1-5, you will work through the results of this study:

Urakawa, H., Garcia, Juan C., Barreto, Patricia D., Molina, Gabriela A., Barreto, Jose C. (2012). A sensitive crude oil bioassay indicates that oil spills potentially induce a change of major nitrifying prokaryotes from the Archaea to the Bacteria. Environmental Pollution. 164:42-45

For Module 1:

  1. First read this article from Scientific American:
    Clean Up the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
  2. Next, define in complete sentences using a paragraph format:
  • What is the difference between a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic cell?
  • The following terms:

Archaea

Nitrifying bacteria

Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria

Gram-negative vs gram-positive bacteria

Hydrocarbon

Bioassay

Microtox bioassay

Crude oil

Biodegradation

  1. Finally read:

    Urakawa, H., Garcia, Juan C., Barreto, Patricia D., Molina, Gabriela A., Barreto, Jose C. (2012). A sensitive crude oil bioassay indicates that oil spills potentially induce a change of major nitrifying prokaryotes from the Archaea to the Bacteria. Environmental Pollution. 164:42-45
  2. Which groups of bacteria were affected differently in this study? 

SLP Assignment Expectations

The Session Long Project consists of an integrative project emphasizing the personalized application of each module's concepts. For Modules 1–5, students are required to engage in an original integrative project reflecting their comprehensive knowledge of and ability to apply the course materials. Each component of the SLP will be graded on a modular basis.

Your essay is considered a scholarly work.  You will be provided with many scholarly references to begin each assignment.  For any additional research you are required to do to complete your assignment, please use scholarly references such as a peer reviewed journal article or a government sponsored or university sponsored website.  As you read through your sources, take notes from your sources and then write your paper in your own words, describing what you have learned from your research.  Direct quotes should be limited and must be designated by quotation marks.  Paraphrased ideas must give credit to the original author, for example (Murray, 2014). Direct copying from “homework help” websites will not receive credit.

When you write your essay, please organize your paper to include an introduction (overview of the assignment), body with subtitles (reflecting the requirements of the assignment), and a summary (develop connections between the required topics).
