Introduction: Week 2: Enzyme LabIn this activity, you will study the effect of pH, temperature and lactose concentration on lactase activity. By the end of this activity, you should be able to:design experiments to study the effects of pH, temperature, and substrate concentration on enzyme activity.graph data related to enzyme activity.analyze data related to enzyme activity.complete a lab write-up summarizing and analyzing your results for the effect of temperature on lactase activity.identify the components of the scientific method.identify components of the substrate-enzyme-product system being studied.Before beginning this activity, make sure you are comfortable with the concepts of independent and dependent variables, experimental and control groups, and hypothesis. You will be applying these concepts in this lab, plus in many of the future labs. To prepare for the lab, watch the following video (Links to an external site.) and think about enzymes, substrates, products, maximum rate of reaction, and optimal conditions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2j2KGwJXJcYou will need to produce graphs using Excel or Google docs. I will not accept hand-drawn graphs or photographed images. If you are unsure how to do this, it is fine to work with other students. The final product must be your own work, but it is a good strategy to help out others in the lab. To complete the lab activity, go to the following website (https://sites.google.com/site/biologydarkow/lactase-enzyme-simulation (Links to an external site.)and read through the Home, Background and Explore the Model tabs. You will produce a lab write-up on the effect of temperature on lactase activity. Note, you are focused on Experiment II and should use the data from that activity only for the write-up. I will provide you an outline of how to organize and what to include in your write-up, but your report should be in nonnumeric, paragraph form

The Chief Operating Officer (COO) has tasked you to provide recommendations on the technologies within your environment that should be outsourced. You recommended the two technologies below:Full support of all network devices including switches, firewalls, and routersAn accounting application with several third-party pluginsThe COO gave you the green light to continue your research and has asked for additional information to support a final decision. As you formulate your response to the COO, think beyond just networking and consider how your specialization interacts with other functions and the overall business purpose:What role should virtualization, software-defined networking (SDN), and automation play in your recommendation?What is the relationship between core and edge systems?What other factors would influence your recommendation? How would your decision be different if you are overseeing a team of four technicians versus a larger team of fourteen?Your response should be no more than two well-written paragraphs. Ensure you provide citations in either IEEE or APA 7th Edition style for any external sources.
