Case Assignment In the Module 3 Case Assignment you will explore bacterial growth and methods used to measure and control the growth of microbes. After you have read the information on the Home page, answer the following questions: 1. From the video on metabolism, where do they say metabolism is accomplished in the human cell? Be specific and include a brief description of the organelle they describe. Do we accomplish aerobic or anaerobic metabolism? 2. What does the video describe as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain? 3. Using the dichotomous key linked to the term "identify" on the Home page, which organisms in the first frame of the video have been described in previous module materials? Now choose a pathogenic bacteria to discuss and find the antibiotic that can be used to control it. Use this link to Antibiotic Modes of Action to learn more about how antibiotics work and to identify the appropriate antibiotic for your chosen pathogen. Use the following format to write this section of your Case Assignment: Introduction Include the growth requirements and phenotypic characteristics of your pathogenic bacteria. Refer to the dichotomous keys, growth patterns, and the CDC website to properly discuss these phenotypic descriptions of your pathogen. Body Paragraph 1 Is this bacteria ONLY pathogenic or does it reside as a normal part of the Human Microbiome? If it is also a nonpathogenic resident microbe, what conditions create the pathogenic state? (We use the term "opportunistic pathogen" to describe this type of pathogen). Body Paragraph 2 Describe the mode of action of the antibiotic class used to control this bacteria. Conclusion Summarize the topics you described and explain how the characteristics of your pathogen can be used to control it. Assignment Expectations Please include a cover sheet for your Case Assignment. Use headings to separate each section's questions, and answer each question using complete sentences. Use your own words and build on the ideas of others. Quoted material should not exceed 10% of the total paper (since the focus of these assignments is critical thinking). When material is copied verbatim from external sources, it MUST be enclosed in quotes. The references should be cited within the text and also listed at the end of the assignment in the References section (preferably in APA format).  References: List the references used to address the second part of this assignment. The references should be listed at the end of the assignment in a References section (preferably in APA format).  Organization: Subheadings should be used to organize your paper according to question. The following items will be assessed: Assignment-Driven Criteria - Did you address each requirement? Critical Thinking - How well did you synthesize and evaluate the topics addressed? Scholarly Writing - Is everything explained in complete sentences? Quality of References and Assignment Organization - Did you organize your paper with headings?  Citing Sources - Did you list your references and cite information where necessary?
