Nutrition Analysis Assignment
Go to this link (cut and paste it if you cannot go directly to it by clicking on it) or download the free MyFitnessPal app:
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/
You will need to create a profile.  Make sure to remember all of your log in information as you will use this site for at least 3 different days and most likely more as you will really like it.
Feel free to explore around in this website as it is a good one. For your assignment you need to write down everything that you have eaten (including serving size) for three separate days. Once you have your list for one of the days you are going to click into FOOD.  Everything you will do for this assignment will be in FOOD but again, check out all the rest that this myfitnesspal has to offer as I use this with all of the athletes and personal training clients I workout.
Follow the directions and enter all of the food that you have eaten for ONE day. You will need to find your food, choose the AMOUNT you ate and when you ate it, then continue to add all the rest of the food you ate for the ONE day.  Once you have put all the food you ate for ONE day go to the bottom of the page and click on the link to view your nutrients for the day.
After all of this is entered you will see anywhere from six to sixteen categories starting with calories or protein.  From this option, in addition to sending me this report, write one paragraph for EACH day discussing at least 5 of the categories and what you could have eaten that day to make each of the 5 categories better.
You will repeat this two more times for two different days, for a total of three separate days that need not be consecutive but must all be turned in together. You can then cut and paste this document into the submission box or attach it as a file.  So you understand?  Three separate days, discussing at least five categories per day, and turning in the report for each day.  Follow the directions exactly as written to get an A.

Cell Biology

3 paragraphs with references and no plagiarism Cell Biology
When you look around at the world, you can see many examples that demonstrate how an object’s or a system’s structure relates to its function. The structure of a highway system, for example, can affect traffic flow. You can, no doubt, think of many other examples.
Your text describes the difference between the or‐ ganelles in a eukaryotic cell and the simpler structure of a prokaryotic cell as an analogy between the chief executive officer’s (CEO’s) corner office and a cubicle. Organelles are like appliances or pieces of furniture that perform specific functions. You can use analogies to describe the structure and function of these organelles as well. For example, a chloroplast is like a solar panel in that it converts light energy to a more usable form. The alignment of chloroplasts in a leaf is similar to the alignment of a solar array, and so on.
Choose 1 organelle from the following list, and use an analogy to explain its function:
Nucleus
Golgi
Lysosome
Mitochondria
Chloroplast
Endoplasmic reticulum
Based on the analogy you created, describe the most significant differences between your organelle and the object you compared it to. If you compared the chloroplast to a solar panel, you might discuss how the chloroplast not only converts sunlight energy into chemical energy, but also how it stores that energy long term in the carbon-to-carbon bonds of sugar molecules. One of the great drawbacks to solar panels is the lack of an efficient storage system.
Use the following guidelines for your paper:
Utilize at least 1 credible source to support the descriptions presented in the paper. Make sure you cite appropriately within your paper and list the reference(s) in APA format on your Reference page.
Your paper should be 2–3 paragraphs in length, not counting the Title page and Reference page. In accordance with APA formatting requirements, it should be double-spaced and include a running
head and page numbers

consequences of photosynthesis in humans.

DB Due 04-27-2018
3-4 paragraphs with references and no plagiarism Photosynthesis and Chloroplasts
You will read that only plants, algae, and some bacteria are photosynthetic. There is an exception to this, however. One species of sea slug has found a way to steal chloroplasts, store them in glands lining its digestive tract, and live on the sugar that is produced (Milius, 2010).
What if animals and humans could be engineered to have chloroplasts and could then use photosynthesis?
Focus your discussion on 1 of the following topics:
Describe at least 2 benefits and 2 drawbacks there might be for animal cells (including humans) to make their own food through photosynthesis.
Explain which cells, tissues, or organs should be modified to lead to successful photosynthesis in animals. Discuss how this compares to a plant’s leaves.
Describe at least 1 requirement for photosynthesis that would need to be considered for chloroplasts to function in an animal or a human.
Predict 2 or more consequences of photosynthesis
in humans.

What does it take to be a living organism?

Characteristics of Living Things
What does it take to be a living organism?
Living things share eight characteristics (listed in Chapter 1 of your textbook on page 19). A living thing grows, undergoes metabolism, responds to its environ‐ ment, reproduces, passes DNA to the next generation, maintains homeostasis, changes over time, and is made up of cells. A nonliving thing may seem to do one or more of these things, but to be classified as living, all eight characteristics must be present. Sometimes, you may see something that seems alive but is not. Water, for example, moves, responds to temperature, dissolves substances, erodes rocks, and so on, but it does not have DNA and is not made up of cells. Other times, you may see a thing and think it cannot be alive, yet it is. Coral looks like a rock, but a coral reef is actually made up of millions of tiny animals.
Focus your discussion on only 1 of the following topics:
Choose a living organism, and explain how it illustrates each of the characteristics of life.
Research and describe an organism or cell in which all 8 characteristics are not obvious. For example, coral looks like it does not move, red blood cells do not reproduce and have no DNA, frogs freeze in the winter and it therefore seems as if they do not maintain homeostasis, and so on. Describe the missing feature, and explain how this organism still meets the criteria of a living thing.
Compare a living thing with a nonliving thing of your choice that has some of the characteristics that define life. For example, a car exhibits metabolism (burning gas and producing heat), a characteristic of life, but is not alive because it cannot reproduce.
Compare and contrast the following pairs based on the 8 characteristics that define life:
A rock and a snail
A lamp and a tree
Discuss some of the characteristics that fire shares with living things (it can grow, it metabolizes, and so on).
