Summary Introduction

To determine:

Blastomyces is dimorphic; what does this adjective mean.

Case summary:

Phil went to western Ontario, Canada, who spent two weeks there in camping, fishing, and hiking. After his return to his college with sweet memories of Canada, he felt worse and the symptoms are related to the flu. The symptoms are coughing, shivering, chills and fever, tiredness, muscle aches and runny nose. Phil developed serious effects because of the undiagnosis of the disease and inappropriate treatment. The serious symptoms of Phil are weight loss, appearance of sores on the neck, face, and legs. He also has aching and swollen testes. Phil was infected with Blastomyces, a fungal infection. He got treated with amphotericin B for two weeks followed by itraconazole for a period of a year.

Build a model of a prokaryotic cell using any material of your choice. In your model be sure to include all the structures appropriate to your cell. You may model a bacterial cell or an archaea. You will model at least 4 structures in any model. Next, build a model of a virus using the same type of materials. You may choose any type of virus but be sure you can illustrate the key features of a virus (head shape for example). Once complete, take multiple photographs of your models from all angles. Include these images in a document that also contains the following completed table format. You may need to add rows to your table depending on the type of prokaryote you model. Structure Model Key Found in Different in Function Virus Virus Once your model is complete, write a brief description of your cell and your virus. Emphasize features that are absent in viruses that classify them as non-living. You can refer to specific structures in your table in this explanation. Some suggestions for…
(This is a 2-part work, Part 1 is done, only Part 2 is to be worked on at the bottom)Part 1 (Done): Describe the levels of structural hierarchy for the human body, starting with the organismal level and ending with the chemical level. In addition, you should make sure you link each level to the previous level, emphasizing the structural relationships. The human body is organized into a structural hierarchy that progresses from the macroscopic organismal level down to the microscopic chemical level. Each level builds upon the previous one, creating increasingly complex structures. Below is the hierarchy, from largest to smallest, with explanations linking each level to its predecessor:   1. Organismal Level The entire living human body.Relationship: All lower levels work together to sustain life at this highest level.   2. Organ System Level Groups of organs working together to perform major functions.Examples: circulatory, nervous, digestive systems.Relationship: The organismal…
