Task: Discuss two or more biological explanations for the development of schizophrenia. One biological explanation for schizophrenia is genetics. This theory states that a person’s genes determine whether they develop schizophrenia or not. Family studies‚ twin studies and adoption studies have explored the roles of genes in the development of sz. Gottesman conducted a family study and he identified that the closer someone is genetically to a person with sz‚ the more likely to develop sz. For example

I just think it is ridiculous that they expect us

The Biological Importance of Water for Living Organisms Water is made up of two elements‚ 2 positively charged hydrogen molecules and one negatively charged oxygen molecule. Water molecules have uneven charge distribution as one end of the molecule is slightly positive and the other slightly negative‚ this is called polar. Ionic substances such as sodium chloride dissolve easily in water because the positively and negatively charged ions are separated due to the dipole nature of water. As water

Campbell’s Biology‚ 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 5 The Structure and Function of Large Biological Molecules In Chapter 5‚ the principles of chemistry covered in earlier chapters are applied to the understanding of biological polymers and lipid membranes. The emphasis is on properly linking monomers and their polymers‚ and on the structural and functional diversity of the different polymer types. Particular attention is given to protein structure‚ because this is central to understanding subsequent

But when it comes to deciding what approach I most identify most with‚ in relation to recognizing individual differences‚ it would have to be within the biological approaches‚ specifically in the focus of the anatomy and physiology.“The physical basis of personality is the brain and it’s tentacles‚ the nerves that each into each corner of the body right down to the tip of the big toe”.

Biological Theory of Aging Tick tock‚ tick tock‚ what ’s that sound? According to this theory‚ it ’s your biological clock‚ ticking away at a predetermined rate. This theory says that DNA‚ the cells ’ genetic material‚ holds the key to your planned demise from day one. While this aging theory appears fatalistic on the surface‚ remember that biology is not destiny. You can ’t change your genes‚ but you can slow the march of time with better eating habits and regular exercise. Your body

investigate the relationship between biological factors and behavior. Many early experiments on brain involved techniques that raise serious ethical concerns. For example‚ in order to study behavioral changes‚ psychologists practiced invasive methods such as removing or scarring brain tissues. However‚ with the great advent of brain imaging technologies‚ modern psychologists have been able to investigate the relationship between biological factors and behavior more effectively and ethically.
