Biomimicry calls for three key things i.e pollution control, food production and cooperation. Give examples of these key things listed above and where such practices has been used.

Provide evidence in support of or refuting the following statement microbial life can exist in the complete absence of both sunlight or organic nutrients

The iCHIP allows scientists to: grow bacteria in the natural environment. grow large numbers of a bacterial species and harvest large amounts of                 antibiotic. grow viruses effectively. grow a single diverse biofilm to later be tested in the lab.

Climate change is harming the planet's environment. To solve this problem, we need to change the way we obtain and use energy. We need to make our use of energy sustainable. This means it can continue for generations to come. Renewable energy is a cleaner and more sustainable way of powering our homes. Technologies such as solar panels and wind turbines are continually improving. Engineers are finding new ways to make them more effective. Some are using biomimicry by looking to living things for design ideas. In 2015, the United Nations agreed on 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These goals aim to end poverty, protect the planet and improve lives. Countries need to work together to meet these goals. Renewable energy fits into many of the Sustainable Development Goals. For example, Goal 7 is to provide access to cheaper and cleaner energy. Biomimicry is when engineers and scientists take inspiration from nature to solve problems. In this challenge, you want to improve a device that…

Develop suggestions for maintaining biodiversity (10 suggestions)

Authors note that global food systems are not meeting the world's dietary needs given the large number of people in the world who are over or under nourished. The cite 'Big Food' (multinational food and beverage companies) as a major culprit and suggest which of the following actions be taken: O Partnering with industry (to assist with developing regulations) Dismantling multinational corporations O Industry self-regulation O Public regulation

Describe the evidence in support of or against the following statement: Humans consume microbes every day with little health risk.

Consider the following graph depicting the population growth of bacteria in an “ideal” laboratory created condition. Explain what conditions would allow for a population to grow exponentially like in this example, and why this is unlikely to occur naturally in the wild. ✓✓ Population (number of bacteria) 35000 30000 25000 20000 15000 10000 5000 0 Population Growth of Bacteria in Ideal Conditions 2 Time (hours) 3

Topic A Problem: Antibiotics are a form of medicine used to treat bacterial infections. However, new bacteria are evolving that are resistant to antibiotics. When someone uses antibiotics, they often contribute in a small way to an increase in the number of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. How would an economist classify antibiotic use? Public health officials are concerned with the overuse of antibiotics, which leads to bacteria being resistant to antibiotics. What is a solution to this problem? In the evaluation stage, you will be evaluating topic B videos.

ascertainment bias... The natural tendency to use surrounding information to resolve ambiguities Bias that is introduced by the process of collecting a sample or doing a search The tendency to focus on unusual or dangerous things A tendency to see the things that we want or expect to see none of above
