Weekly Assignments must have the outlin" rel="nofollow">ine shown below. If no answers are submitted or if the fin" rel="nofollow">inal answers are submitted but do not follow this outlin" rel="nofollow">ine form, no credit will be given. A well- edited answer should be no more than one-page long, a maximum of two pages. a) Name the structure and the function on which your overall answer will be based? Be as specific as you can in" rel="nofollow">in delimitin" rel="nofollow">ing the boundaries of your example (the most important part of your answer, sin" rel="nofollow">ince the followin" rel="nofollow">ing b, c, & d sub-questions are based on your answer to this first sub-question, a). Please notice that only 1 item is required (in" rel="nofollow">in your answer it should be labeled as “a”). a) Name the structure and the function on which your overall answer will be based? Be as specific as you can in" rel="nofollow">in delimitin" rel="nofollow">ing the boundaries of your example (the most important part of your answer, sin" rel="nofollow">ince the followin" rel="nofollow">ing b, c, & d sub-questions are based on your answer to this first sub-question, a). Please notice that only 1 item is required (in" rel="nofollow">in your answer it should be labeled as “a”). This answer should look like: “a.- My structure (S) is …. and its function (F) is …”. In same cases a second sentence might be needed. b) Why do you thin" rel="nofollow">ink that your structure and your function are related? Support your contention based on 3 lin" rel="nofollow">ines of evidence on the chemistry, physics, anatomy or physiology in" rel="nofollow">involved in" rel="nofollow">in your example. Please notice that 3 items are required (answers should be labeled as “b1, b2, and b3”). b) Why do you thin" rel="nofollow">ink that your structure and your function are related? Support your contention based on 3 lin" rel="nofollow">ines of evidence based on the chemistry, physics, anatomy, or physiology in" rel="nofollow">involved in" rel="nofollow">in your example. Please notice that 3 items are required (answers should be labeled as “b1, b2, and b3”). One of these answers might look like: “b1.- If I do this experiment and measure this variable usin" rel="nofollow">ing this technique, this result will suggest that my S/F is correct”. Please notice that MY question does not ask you to tell me what happens, sin" rel="nofollow">ince this can be copy from any source, but it asked how do you know that your S/F relationship is true. c) Which are the levels of organization in" rel="nofollow">involved in" rel="nofollow">in your example? Cite events occurrin" rel="nofollow">ing at its main" rel="nofollow">in level of organization and in" rel="nofollow">indicate how they relate to the whole body homeostatic level. Please notice that 3 items are required (answers should be labeled as “c1, c2, and c3”). c) Which are the levels of organization in" rel="nofollow">involved in" rel="nofollow">in your example (c1)? Cite events occurrin" rel="nofollow">ing at its main" rel="nofollow">in level of organization (c2) and in" rel="nofollow">indicate how they relate to the whole body level (c3). Please notice that 3 items are required (thus, answers should be labeled as “c1, c2, and c3”). These answers should look as follows: “c1.- molecular” or any level of organization in" rel="nofollow">involved in" rel="nofollow">in your “a” answer (S/F); “c2.- the first event is …; the next even is …; the middle event is …; the next event is …; the last event is …”. Five events distributed equidistant from each other is a good summary for the story lin" rel="nofollow">ine of the S/F named in" rel="nofollow">in your “a” answer. Fin" rel="nofollow">inally, “c3.- at a whole in" rel="nofollow">individual level my S/F described in" rel="nofollow">in “a” has this role”. d) Which are the main" rel="nofollow">in feedback mechanisms in" rel="nofollow">involved in" rel="nofollow">in your example (cite at least two)? Expand on one of them and in" rel="nofollow">indicate an absolute requirement for that feedback to be operational. Please notice that 3 items are required (answers should be labeled as “d1, d2, and d3”). d) Which are the main" rel="nofollow">in feedback mechanisms in" rel="nofollow">involved in" rel="nofollow">in your example (cite at least two) (d1)? Expand on one of them (d2) and name 2 absolute requirement for that feedback to work (d3). Please notice that 3 items are required (answers should be labeled as “d1, d2, and d3”). These answers should look as follows: “d1.- an in" rel="nofollow">increase in" rel="nofollow">in this negative feedback ligand must decrease this variable under control”. This is how you NAME a negative feedback. For d1 you need to name two negative feedbacks; “d2.- the first event is …; the next even is …; the middle event is …; the next event is …; the last event is …”. Five events distributed equidistant from each other is a good summary for the most important negative feedback story lin" rel="nofollow">ine, in" rel="nofollow">involved as a control of the your S/F named in" rel="nofollow">in your “a” answer, that you named in" rel="nofollow">in d1; “d3.- these two components are absolutely necessary for the negative feedback, described in" rel="nofollow">in d2, to be operational
