many diverse living organisms are considered to have developed from earlier forms during the history of the earth that can be defined as Evolution. Several organisms have evolved as a result of environmental changes within their habitats. Example is a diagram of a whale and details about how the whale has evolved physiologically and has become adapted to fit the environment.

How neurological processes affect behaviour and impact the field of biological psychology Psychology as a field of study has evolved from the human need to understand ourselves and the causes behind our behaviours. Philosophy tried its hand first‚ attempting to describe it as a complex interaction between the mind and the body – between the mental and the physical. This basic idea resonates through this field of exploration through the years. While there have been diversions from this line of

Chapter 34 Vertebrates Overview: Half a Billion Years of Backbones * Vertebrates are named for vertebrae‚ the series of bones that make up the vertebral column or backbone. * There are about 52‚000 species of vertebrates‚ far fewer than the 1 million insect species on Earth. * Plant-eating dinosaurs‚ at 40‚000 kg‚ were the heaviest animals to walk on land. * The biggest animal that ever existed is the blue whale‚ at 100‚000 kg. * Humans and our closest relatives are

is saying that man is shaped and made up of what he has done and what he will do. Sarte’s stance is there is no determinism‚ man is free‚ man is freedom. For example‚ a coward is responsible for being a coward. It’s not because he’s made up physiologically to be a coward but he’s like that because he made himself that way through his actions. Therefore‚ he is defined on the basis of the acts he performs. There’s always a chance that a hero doesn’t act heroically or a coward acts courageously but

and most of the Anseriformes (ducks‚ swans and geese). Amphibious and amphibiotic animals‚ like frogs (the order Anura)‚ while they do require water‚ are separated into their own environmental classification. The majority of amphibians (class Amphibia) have an aquatic larval stage‚ like a tadpole‚ but then live as terrestrial adults‚ and may return to the water to mate. Certain fish also evolved to breath air to survive oxygen-deprived water‚ such as arapaima (family Osteoglossidae) and walking

Here’s a brief explanation: As soon as your fat cells detect a slightly lower oe- strogen level‚ they come to your aid to produce oestrogen for you. (Fat cells pro- ducing oestrogen? This may surprise you‚ but it’s one of their highly evolved func- tions.) They know that eventually your ovaries will stop producing oestrogen‚ so they start preparing to take over the ovaries’ job. They increase their size‚ number and ability to store fat. Interestingly enough‚ the fat cells in your waist grow

Rise of the Animals: Triumph of the Vertebrates The new frontier for fossil discoveries is China. Here Scientist are able to take evidence for evolutionary theories. The fossil record contains many well-documented examples of the transition from one species into another‚ as well as the origin of new physical features. Evidence from the fossil record is unique‚ because it provides a time perspective for understanding the evolution of life on Earth. David Attenborough embarks on an epic 500-million-year

Henry March 9‚ 2015 Organism Physiology Paper (Chimpanzees) Chimpanzees are hominid species of apes native to Africa and the closest related to humans which they share 95-98% of human DNA. Earlier research reports that the oldest known primates are about 65 million years old with the chimpanzees emerging about 20 million years ago. It is thought that the chimpanzee’s level of intelligence has allowed it to survive
