Figure Facts and Experimental Design Outline
Name: Paula Bertisan
Feel free to discuss the primary research paper with your peers, but you must write and hand
in your own assignment. In all cases, write your answers in your own words and create your own
drawings. Do not copy sentences or images from the primary research paper (or from your
friends!). As a rule of thumb, no more than five consecutive words from the primary research
paper should appear in your assignment unless specified.
Part 1: Figure Facts
In this section, we will examine the primary research paper through an analysis of the
introduction and figures. Fill out the table below and keep your responses brief (1 sentence
and/or bullet point form is fine.) There is an example in the table below.
You must write
something about each figure to get credit for this section.
Write an Article Citation here:
Kergunteuil, Alan, et al. “The Abundance, Diversity, and Metabolic
Footprint of Soil Nematodes Is Highest in High Elevation Alpine Grasslands.”

, Frontiers, 6 July
2016,

Part 1. Read the Abstract and/or Introduction to find the following:
Broad Topic: Nematode Diversity across elevation gradients.
Specific Topic: How dose nematode diversity and functional group diversity change from low to high
elevations in the alps, and how the variations of soil food webs impacted the population of nematodes at
differen elevations.
What was known prior to this paper: What nematodes are, certain language such as scientific wording like
abundance, and population, where the study was taking place.
Experimental Question: How does elevation in the Alps affect the nematode community and their
functional diversity?
Part 2. Interpreting Figures 1,2, and 5:
Start by trying to interpret the figures using the information
present in the image and figure legends (a really good figure should be interpretable on its own). Then, if
that is not useful enough information, look in the text of the Results/Discussion for further explanation,
rather than the Methods section, as the Methods may be too technical to be easily understood.
(Google/Wikipedia may help!)
If, despite your best efforts, you are unable to understand all or part of the figure, write in one or
more of the questions you have about that figure/figure panel.

The total number of
nematodes per 100 g
of dry soil at each
elevation transect
Total nematode abundance
increases with elevation so
there are more total

B-Simpsons index
in relation to
altitude
A- According to the
data, nematodes
multiply as elevation
rises, with the Faido
and Salgesh forms of
nematodes being the
most prevalent at
higher elevations.
B-As the elevation
increases, nematodes
Since the nematode
population rises with height,
there are more nematodes at
higher elevations.
Additionally, the quantity of
infected nematophagous
fungus decreases with
elevation, hence higher
elevations have fewer
infected nematophagous
fungi.

Please answer the following questions using numbers and not text. For example, if you think the answer is 24, write 24 and not twenty-four. If you think the answer is 24 ATP, write only the number 24.
As a microbiology technician, your job is to characterize a novel bacterial strain isolated from insects. Phenotypically, you have discovered that the new bacterial strain can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen. After genome sequencing and biochemical characterization, you know that your new organism is capable of making all of the enzymes necessary for glycolysis and the TCA cycle, and that it has an electron transport chain.
Answer the following questions based on the growth of your organism on minimal media plates containing only acetate as a carbon and energy source. Acetate is transported across the membrane at the cost of 3 ATP per molecule.
Each question should be answered based on the metabolism of one molecule of acetate. If you come up with a negative value, indicate an…
