Guidelines for Writing the Scientific Journal Article Report

Goal: The goal of this assignment is for you to research a topic of interest to you that has to do with the human body. This topic could be about human anatomy and physiology, exercise physiology, pathophysiology, or medicine. You should be able to do an online library search of the topic and then find a primary scientific research article that you will summarize using the following format.

Format:

1. Title of the Report Page

2. Summary of the Report: 1 page

In this section, you should summarize the objectives, the methods and materials used, and the findings of the paper.

3. Discussion: 1-2 pages

Discuss the importance of the findings in the article to the science that it deals with (anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, medicine, nursing, etc.) Compare the results with similar research in this particular field of investigation. Evaluate the research done in the article using two other sources. Give your opinion as to the merits (or lack of) of this research. Elaborate on the future of such research and the direction it might take.
Cite reference articles and list the sources in the bibliography section at the end.

4. Bibliography Page:

Use at least 2 sources of reference. If you cite someone you must include him/her in the bibliography.
Bibliography format: Author (last name, first initials), “title of the article”, the title of magazine or journal, book or periodical (underlined), date, volume, number, page numbers. If the article(s) is(are) from a website, be sure to include a live hyperlink to the article(s).

Article(s) must be from 2010 or later. No articles from Encyclopedias.
Select a paper on a topic that must be directly or indirectly related to human anatomy. Attach a copy of the article to your report or a web link to the report if available.
The article review must be typed. Allow one-inch margins everywhere. Typing must be done using 12 pt. font and 1.5 line spacing.

A mitochondrion (/ˌmaɪtəˈkɒndriən/;[1] pl.: mitochondria) is an organelle found

A mitochondrion (/ˌmaɪtəˈkɒndriən/;[1] pl.: mitochondria) is an organelle found in the cells of most eukaryotes, such as animals, plants and fungi. Mitochondria have a double membrane structure and use aerobic respiration to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is used throughout the cell as a source of chemical energy.[2] They were discovered by Albert von Kölliker in 1857[3] in the voluntary muscles of insects. The term mitochondrion was coined by Carl Benda in 1898. The mitochondrion is popularly nicknamed the “powerhouse of the cell”, a phrase coined by Philip Siekevitz in a 1957 article of the same name.[4]

Cell Membrane and Transport: Learn How Transporters Keep Cells Healthy Lab Reporting Worksheet
In science, reporting what has been done in a laboratory setting is incredibly important for communicating, replicating, and validating findings. However, writing scientific reports can be a little overwhelming. There is a set of agreed-upon components that the scientific community requires when reporting scientific research. Answer the following questions to describe what occurred during the lab you conducted in Labster. Be sure to use complete sentences and descriptions that fully represent what you experienced. Writing a lab report is less about being correct or incorrect than it is accurately reporting what happened and why. So, do not worry about reporting data that might seem counterintuitive or unexpected. Focus on clearly communicating what you did and what you observed.
Write your answers on a new line.
Title
What was the title of the lab you completed?
What was the subject you were trying to understand better in the lab?
What information from the textbook and classroom is relevant for the subject you were trying to gain a better understand of in the lab? Identify the concepts and explain how they are related to the lab topic.
During the lab, what information from the theory section provided additional background information about the subject? (To review the theory section, launch the lab and click the Theory tab on the top of the data pad). Identify the concepts and explain how they are related to the lab topic.
Most scientific observation involves examining phenomena or processes. What phenomenon or process were you observing in the lab? What were you able to change and explore? What did the simulation not allow to change?
You have already described the phenomenon or process you studied in the lab in the previous section. Now, take some time to fully describe the steps you took during the lab. Do not include the process of you logging into the lab in your description. For this virtual lab, a short, high-level summary will suffice.
Describe some of the observations you made. What did you write down or keep track of? What did each of your senses observe during the lab process? What did you see (e.g., changes in colors, movement, shapes, sizes, patterns)? What, if anything, did you measure? What did you hear (e.g., sounds from reactions, collisions, error messages)? What did your lab character touch? Did you notice anything that seemed unexpected? Did you notice anything that you did not expect to observe?
Which parts of the lab required you to think more than others and required more time? Which parts were simple and completed easily?
What did you notice about the phenomenon or process you explored?
Describe any information about the phenomenon or process that you learned.
During your lab, what happened that might have had an impact on the accuracy of your observations? Did the simulation alert you that an error was occurring? If so, how did you resolve it?
The discussion section also is used to summarize big ideas from the lab. What were the important learnings about the phenomenon or process from the lab?
After scientists have identified how the new knowledge fits into the old knowledge, they discuss the implications of the new information for moving forward. In this class, the purpose of study is to learn some foundational science ideas represented by the course learning outcomes. Review the course learning outcome aligned to this lab in the assignment directions in Blackboard. How is the information from this lab related to the course learning outcome? What knowledge has the lab supported you with learning that is related to this course learning outcome?
Following scientific research, scientists usually come up with new questions that result from what they learned. These new questions often end up leading to new research in the future. What additional scientific things do you wonder about after completing and writing about your lab experience?
Topic
Background Information
Method
Describing what you did during a lab supports other scientists in replicating your work. It is through this consistent replication that scientists are able to see repeating patterns and develop ideas that help move science forward. When you discuss your observations, in a later section, you will have to describe, in detail, what you did. You may also have to describe what choices you made, why you made them, and any concerns about things that occurred that were unexpected. To have enough information to do this, you need to keep very detailed notes. What doesn’t seem important in the moment may end up being something that explains your findings later. A benefit of conducting virtual labs when learning science, is that many potential errors are controlled for you. The virtual lab environment often will alert you if something is not going the way it should. This does not occur in non-virtual settings. The virtual lab setting can be very helpful to learners for this reason. However, we still need to practice documenting so those skills are practiced for the lab experiences when technology will not be there as a coach.
Observations
Many lessons learned from scientific research come from the reporting and analysis of data and observations. This part of scientific reporting requires detailed descriptions of technical information and observations, as well as high-level synthesis of information. High-level synthesis requires a mastery of foundational content in the related scientific field and a complementary mastery in some field of quantitative and/or qualitative analysis. For this report, let’s focus on big picture patterns.
Discussion
The discussion section is used to explain why things might have happened the way that they did in your research. Here, scientists describe any potential anomalies or mistakes and why they think they may have occurred.
Conclusion
The conclusion section of a lab report describes how the learnings from the lab research fit in to prior scientific knowledge. This is done by comparing new information to previously known information that was identified in the section of your report that discusses background information.
Review the background information section of your report from above and describe how the results of your lab compare to the information you discussed before.

Create Cell Models

You will create an animal cell, a plant cell, and a bacterial cell using household items to represent the different organelles present in each type of cell.

Suggested Materials (you can come up with your own as well):
Sheets of paper
Plastic Eggs
Pipe Cleaners
Kidney Beans
Beads
Aluminum Foil
Miscellaneous Household Items – get creative – you can use paperclips, hair ribbons, coins, pine cones, buttons, etc.

PROCEDURES

1. Draw a plasma membrane on a sheet of paper (one sheet for each cell). Make it large enough ​to hold all the organelles.
2. Use your textbook as a reference to make sure you include all the organelles/structures. Make sure the correct organelles go into the proper cell.
3. Label them as a “Plant Cell”, an “Animal Cell”, and a “Bacterial Cell”.
4. Add items that represent the “organelles/structures” to the cells. For example:
• Construct the rough endoplasmic reticulum by stringing beads onto two of the pipe cleaners
• Pipe cleaners (with no beads) will represent the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
• Construct a cell wall using the aluminum foil into a square shape (around the edge of the plasma membrane).
5. Include a legend identifying the household item that represents each specific organelle/structure. Do not use arrows or lines to point out the names of the structures, you need to include an actual legend.
Example:
Animal cell legend
Mitochondria – batteries
Ribosomes – beads
Etc.

Points for discussion:
1) There are hundreds of lipid peroxidation products, why did the authors choose F2-isoprostane? What are its advantages compared to other biomarkers in terms of stability, analysis and robustness?
2) Is the analysis of one lipid peroxidation product sufficient? What other analysis did the authors perform to establish that brain damage is oxidative in nature.
3) What analytical technique used to analyze F2-IsoP’s in their study? Is this a robust method? What analytical technique you would have chosen to analyze for F2-IsoP’s?
4) If you have to choose another lipid peroxidation biomarker, what would that be and why?
5) Would the same results be observed in patients with chronic brain damage condition? That is, if experiments were performed days or months after an acute ischemic stroke instead of within 9 hours? Whether your answer is yes or no, why?
please answer all these questions from the article below.

the Whitefish Blastula
Introduction
While the onion root cells tend to be arranged in a planar fashion, the whitefish blastula is more spherical. As a result, the whitefish cells are oriented in a less orderly fashion than the regular, patterned. When a section is cut from the blastula, some mitotic figures will be visible and familiar, as in the root tip, but other cells will be cut so that many mitotic figures may have an unfamiliar or atypical appearance. Disregard these and concentrate on those which can be seen in full view. As a result, finding each stage of mitosis may require more searching in the whitefish blastula.
Materials
1. Compound microscope
2. Prepared slide of whitefish blastula
Procedure
1. In Figure 6, identify the phase of mitosis and write the name of the phase below each diagram. The cells go in the appropriate temporal sequence through cell cycle and you are likely to use the same term multiple times. While technically not a phase of mitosis, you may use “interphase” for some of the cells, but you should not use “cytokinesis.”
2. Hold the slide of the whitefish blastula to the light and note that there are a number of sections on the slide. Examine all sections on the slide using high power to locate all the phases of mitosis.
3. Find each phase of mitosis on the slide. As you locate each phase, your instructor will verify that you are correct and initial your paper. After you have received verification from your instructor, draw the cell in Table 1.
