What is Biological Psychology? It is the study of the physiological‚ evolutionary‚ and developmental mechanisms of behavior and experience. It is synonymous with the terms biopsychology‚ physiological‚ and behavioral neuroscience. Much of biological psychology is devoted to studying brain functioning. Physiology is the study of body processes- the dynamic of tissue and organ system of the body. It is the study of the physiological basis of human and animal behavior. Areas of Biological Psychology

Biological weapons are living organisms‚ whatever their nature‚ or the materials that are created because of their use. Biological weapons can cause disease or death in living organisms‚ and are depended upon for their further ability to multiply inside the organism that it attacks. Chemical weapons are defined as chemical substances of gas‚ liquid‚ or solid which are used because of a directly toxic effect upon humans‚ animals‚ or plants. Even though the two weapons are closely related‚ chemical

Biologists and sociologists view the concept of human behaviours or characteristics quite differently. Biological explanations would suggest that it is genes‚ instincts‚ or evolutionary advantages that determine human behaviour. These types of explanations suggest human traits are predetermined and are difficult to change. Sociologists argue these are misguided explanations for human behaviour because this sort of definition takes away from the obviously observable variations in behaviour throughout

Mini - assignments for biological rhythms 1. Outline what we mean by an endogenous pacemaker (3) Endogenous rhythms are rhythms that aren’t imposed by the environment but generated from within the organism. Since many of our biological cycles follow an approximation 24-hour rhythm‚ even in the absence of external stimuli‚ it follows that there must be some kind of internal biological clock. 2. What is the name given to external events that play a role in rhythmic activities? Give

ASSAYING PLANT SUBSTANCES FOR ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY PURPOSE To test plant extracts to see if they possess antibacterial activity. PROCEDURE First create a list of plant extracts being tested and choose 2 extracts per group. The plants being tested are Oregano‚ Tea tree‚ Eucalyptus and Colloidal Silver. Obtain two nutrient agar plates and using a permanent marker draw four quadrants on the bottom of each agar plate. Using a sterile pipet transfer 250 ml of E. coli broth to the middle of

Bio Lab Report Title: Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive contamination in yogurt. Introduction: There is bacteria that is beneficial and harmful in the human. Yogurt was choosed to be the best example that contains this bacteria. What happens to be the difference between these two types of bacteria‚ and how are they harmful? The bacteria is considered “Gram-Negative‚” and the substance is considered contaminated when there is more negative bacteria than positive bacteria. This will prove or disapprove
