Using the information on the table and what you have learned about Microbes answer the following questions:
If you could only choose one chemical agent to use in your home, which would you choose and why?
Why would you not choose some of the other choices?
Sample Solution
Think of how you might want to create your own snail experiment. What would you want to test? This paper tested their movement on different substrates(concrete and acrylic). How could you build on this? Maybe testing on substrates that they did not test? Or testing how quickly they move on different substrates? Remember, you will be carrying out an experiment and writing a full lab report that will be closer to the style of a scientific paper on whatever we choose to test as a class. Brainstorm some ideas with the rest of the class in this discussion post.
Sample Solution
(1) Which of the double-stranded DNA sequences below will require more heat to
separate the two strands (select Option A or Option B)? (2) Why is more heat is required
to separate the strands?
Option A
5’-GGACTCCCGGGTGAG-3’
3’-CCTGAGGGCCCACTC-5’
Option B
5’-AACTGTTTAAAGACA-3’
3’-TTGACAAATTTCTGT-5’
(3) What will be the mRNA sequence that is produced during the transcription of the
DNA sequence below? Hint: As we discussed in class, there is a slight difference in the
nucleotides used in DNA vs RNA.
5’-ACGTCAGGTTTCCGT-3’
(4) Based on what was discussed in Lecture 9, name four (4) enzymes/proteins that play
a role in human DNA replication, and briefly describe the specific role each plays during
human DNA replication.
Sample Solution
The fluoride rinse in dental offices usually contains sodium fluoride. Sodium fluoride can be prepared from the reaction between sodium metal and fluorine gas. Which properly represents the balanced chemical equation for this reaction?
Na(s) + F2(g) → NaF2(s)
Na(s) + F(g) → NaF(s)
7Na(s) + F(g) → Na7F(s)
2Na(s) + F2(g) → 2Na2F(s)
2Na(s) + F2(g) → 2NaF(s)
Why is it important to understand this equation? What do you think could happen if this is incorrect?
Sample Solution
In no more than 2 pages, explain the effect Magnesium supplementation has on: 1. sleep 2. anxiety 3. depression How does it mediate this effect? Which form of magnesium is recommended for each? Include
Sample Solution
While much of the chemistry you will be learning about in this class has not changed during the last 20 or more years (with the exception of some added elements), there is new chemical research and news happening all around you. What innovations in chemistry interest you the most? How has or will this innovation impact your life or community?
Sample Solution
Estimation of Streamflow at Euphrates Tigris Basin for the specified coordinates in the “Thesis Progress” Report” Paper. This includes the creation of the basin dem, and calibrating the HBV Model to meet the observed discharge values.
Sample Solution
Describe how atmospheric carbon dioxide levels fluctuate daily, seasonally, and geographically. Explain why such fluctuation occurs.
Sample Solution
Explain why and how the methods were used and their significance in the context of specific application of protein chemistry.
Sample Solution
In Q4 of the simulation you and your team have the opportunity to seek Venture Capital (VC) funding to help your business grow. VC funding is one way of many to gain needed resources as your business scales and grows to the next growth stage. In the real world, you as the leadership team will need to assess the current state of your business and determine what support you are going to need to help you achieve your growth goals. Support can and should come in many forms and help solve multiple problems. This can include but not be limited to, the leadership team growth, product/service development, finance, sales, and marketing. In this discussion question, using the readings, personal examples, and other research that you conduct;
Select 1-3 types of resource support that you think would best fit your simulation company. You may use the resources for this unit as well as any additional research you complete, and personal experiences
Explain your rationale for these choices in relation to your simulation company’s values, mission, goals, and current place in game play (Standings attached). Would you use one or multiple resource sources? Why?
Discuss how you would present this information to the leadership team in your simulation company and present an outline of your strategy for accessing the resources you have identified.

Markets
Your company will be introducing a new line of carbon fiber bicycles into selected markets in North America (NORAM), Latin America (LATAM), Europe, the Middle East and Africa (Europe-MEA), and Asia Pacific (APAC) regions.
The map is divided into 4 regions: North America (abbreviated NORAM), Latin and South America (LATAM), Europe, the Middle East and Africa (Europe-MEA), and Asia and the Pacific (APAC). NORAM’s city is New York. LATAM’s city is Rio de Janeiro. Europe/MEA’s city is Amsterdam. APAC’s city is Bangalore.
Four geographic markets have been selected as sites for test marketing, one in each region. Each city represents a different market opportunity. The mix of customers with different potential demand will vary across each of them.
The current state of the carbon fiber bicycle market
The carbon fiber bicycle market is a niche segment of the bicycle industry. Almost all carbon fiber bikes are very expensive. As a result, sales have been limited to high performance road and mountain bikes by elite users. Many other riders would love to have the benefits of a carbon fiber bike, but they have been too expensive to purchase. With the introduction of moderately priced carbon fiber bikes, all of this could change. If things unfold as expected, this business could actually be in the introductory stage of the product life cycle.
Other firms will be entering the market at the same time that you are. In fact, the whole bicycle industry is interested in 3D printing. Each firm will be testing the market for these new carbon fiber bikes.
You will be selling through company-owned sales outlets. You will not be selling through third-party bike stores at this time. There are too many unanswered questions and it would be best to retain complete control of this test market. Plus, you may discover that this new distribution channel will be viable and worthy of expanding.
All competitors, including your own company, will start with exactly the same resources and knowledge of the market.
