Discuss at least (3) lifestyle or behavior change-related modifications you can or have incorporate(d) to help you achieve your goal.
SMART Goal & Barrier Considerations
- Considering the information from above create a weight management-related SMART goal for yourself (or your hypothetical person).
- Remember that weight management can be loss, gain, or maintenance. You should select a goal that is appropriate and safe for you and your health/performance goals.
- Identify at least (2) potential barriers that you or someone trying to reach your stated goal may encounter including a potential solution to each barrier.
- Examine prejudicial structures and attitudes around weight and weight discrimination, how might this impact a person in their pursuit of a healthy lifestyle and weight-related behaviors? Please give at least (1) specific example in your discussion.
Prompt 3: Weight Management Strategy
- Develop a strategy for achieving your above-listed weight management goal.
- Include a discussion of nutritional considerations you will have. Refer to the tracking report and include specific modifications that would be helpful in achieving your goal. Be sure to explain why these modifications would be included. If you are on track with all the nutritional considerations, explain what things you are doing to achieve this and why it is beneficial.
- Include a discussion of physical activity/exercise-related modifications that would help to achieve this goal. Again, like with nutrition, if you are already doing what is required to achieve your goal include what you are doing and why this is helping you towards your goal.
- Discuss at least (3) lifestyle or behavior change-related modifications you can or have incorporate(d) to help you achieve your goal. Explain why each behavior or lifestyle modification will help you to achieve your goal.
Discuss based on the tracked information what your energy balance likely is.
Purpose
The intent of this assignment is for you to consider the concept of energy balance as well as other individual factors that influence a person’s weight. You will have the opportunity to apply concepts learned throughout the course to demonstrate learning and understanding.
Instructions
View the following prompts and respond as directed. It is recommended to do this review with yourself as the subject, however, if it is not a healthy or safe activity for you to do this for yourself you may create a hypothetical person as the subjector use a family member or friend if you have someone willing to allow you to track their intake. If you still have concerns about this activity, please reach out to discuss it with me to determine an alternative way for you to demonstrate your understanding and application.
Prompt 1: Energy Balance
- You will use a tracking website/app (Cronometer is recommended, reach out if you have questions or concerns how to use this app or website) to enter a typical day’s intake and exercise.
- Be sure to be as specific as possible with things such as serving size and condiments used as this will change the values in your report.
- Remember that anything that contains kcals should be included (foods, beverages, supplements), you are welcome to track water if you wish but not required.
- You do not earn extra points for meeting everything perfectly. I’d rather you track truthfully and be able to reflect on that than track what you think I want to see. Absolutely no judgment from me on your intake!
- Take a screenshot of your report to include (I do not need the food log, just the nutrient list) once completed.
- Once you have had a chance to track your intake and your exercise and review the report reflect on the following:
- Discuss based on the tracked information what your energy balance likely is.
- Does this align with your current health and/or weight goals? Expand on why or why not.
- What would the long-term health implications be of continuing in your determined energy balance?

Identify one potential impact of poor soldering on a printed circuit board. How would you identify the fault?
- Identify and explain one troubleshooting tip or technique.
- One method for troubleshooting method is reviewing your work, many times we as humans will perform maintenance and we make errors, we are prone to it. Reviewing our work is a good method to make sure that the issue is not due to human error.
- Identify in which step (analysis, planning, measuring) the technique would be applied.
- This technique should be applied as soon as you perform the solder, because it would make no sense to review something that is not present.
- Not every tip will apply to every situation. Explain a situation in which your tip would be applicable (include personal examples if possible).
- My tip should be applicable in all situations except in the conditions that you have reviewed your own work and you are satisfied and said work has been supervised and reviewed by fellow peers. Having multiple opinions is always helpful to better yourself because you can use their advice as constructive criticism.
- Identify one potential impact of poor soldering on a printed circuit board. How would you identify the fault?
- A poor fault I can foresee due to poor soldering would be a resistor not functioning correctly or something that should be functioning in a certain manner is not.

What defense have some moths evolved in response to predation by bats?
LAB 12
PART A
Activity 1: Predator Prey Coevolution
WATCH VIDEO & ANSWER QUESTIONS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeCmSL_N65A
What are some advantages to using sonar to find prey?
What defense have some moths evolved in response to predation by bats?
Of the nearly 140,000 moth species that exist, as many as half may be able to hear bat echolocation. When they hear the bat calls, some moths try to escape, while others produce ultrasounds in response. What are two ways in which ultrasound production can help moths avoid being eaten by bats?
What strategy did the moths in Gorongosa use to escape bats. What pieces of evidence from the video support this claim?
What does Dr. Barber mean when he says some of the moths are bluffing?
Explain how the team tested if the moths were bluffing or not.
According to the video how did these escape abilities originate in moths?
Toward the end of the film, this statement appears in the video: “Coevolution: bats and moths reciprocally affect each other’s evolution;” Explain, in your own words, how each organism affects the other’s evolution.
Activity 2: Predator Prey Simulation
For this exercise we are going to use a simulation to model a single population of prey species: deer mice. Like all populations, the individual members are not genetically identical. The process of mutations arising throughout the evolutionary history of this species has created new genes, and sexual reproduction has shuffled those genes into new combinations. Those genes that are beneficial will accumulate in the population, while those that are harmful will not. This process is essentially natural selection.
We’re going to focus only on the gene that expresses coat color. Our mouse population has two versions of this gene: RD and RL. Individuals that have the genotype RDRD will be dark brown in color. Those that are heterozygous RDRL are medium brown, and those that have the genotype RLRL will be light in color. We are going to investigate how predators and the physical environment in which the prey live influence which phenotypes are selected for (survive and reproduce) and which phenotypes are selected against (are eaten by hawks). The hawks are mainly visual predators, so we are assuming they are mainly picking mice based on their ability to see the mice.

Play around with the settings to see what everything does.
When you’re ready, hit “reset”
To run the first simulation:
Record the initial frequencies of each color of mice in the table below (this should remain the same throughout the simulation).
Click the button that says “add” and has a picture of a hawk to add predators to the simulation. When this is turned on you will see hawks appear.
Make sure the mutation setting is turned off (not checked).
The environment should be set to field. Make a predication about which color of mice will be best at surviving in this environment in your notebook.
Click “run” and let the simulation go for 5 years (60 months).
At the end of 60 months, record the final number of each mouse color in table 1 below under trial 1. In the tables below, L = light brown, M = medium, and D = dark brown.
Click reset
Repeat steps 1-7 for trials 2 and 3 for “field”
Then calculate the average number of each color
AVERAGE =
Calculate the average percent for each color
AVERAGE PERCENT =X 100
Repeat steps 1-9 with the “beach” environment (step 4).
