Pathogens and host proteins

 

 

 

There are ways that pathogens interact with host proteins to promote their own survival. Describe 2 pathogens, the host protein(s) each interacts with, and the outcome of pathogen/host protein interactions during infection. Focus on host cell biology. Also briefly describe how that outcome influences disease.

 

Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological systems theory.

 

 

 

Consider Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological systems theory. Discuss the various components of your microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem. How did these systems influence your own growth and development? What were some of the bidirectional influences in your life that helped to shape you?

The Australian Bower bird

 

View the video of the Australian Bower bird and read the science focus in your textbook. Describe the behavior exhibited by the Australian Bower bird and the significance of this behavior to its success and survival. In addition, describe the role of natural selection in shaping these behaviors. The website for the video can be accessed with the following address: Australian Bowerbird Behavior

Hint: Darwin described the role of natural selection in this process as sexual selection. Simply put, sexual selection is the evolutionary process that favors adaptations that increase an animal’s chances of mating.

Stress

 

A. What is the difference between stress and a stressor? What are some stressors that one might experience in adulthood? What are some coping mechanisms for stress? What are some stressors that you have experienced and how have you coped with it/them?
B. In the Visualizing Development graphic titled ‘Stress in Adulthood’, the chart shows that stress decreases as individuals get older. What might be some reasons for this?
