experience things are due to our biology. Genes‚ chemicals such as hormones‚ brain structure and systems. They believe that the environment does not have any influence on your condition. This approach tends to fit in with the nature nurture debate. A biological perspective is relevant to the study of psychology in three ways: 1. Comparative method: different species of animal can be studied and +compared. This can help in the search to understand human behaviour. 2. Physiology: how the nervous system

With the aid of specific examples‚ describe the concept of a hierarchy of biological organization. What is meant by the phrase‚ "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts?" Understanding the range of life on the planet we call Earth. This magnificent planet is full of living organisms everywhere you look. As cells build upon each other in the structure of life‚ they create the different forms known as emergent properties. From the tiniest cells‚ the beautiful colors of the fungi to the

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

A. Proteins- A protein is a naturally produced macromolecules that are made of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ and chains of amino acids. The amino acids are building blocks for all our cells. Proteins main function is to help in tissue repair and growth. There are three different types of proteins. Fibrous proteins help in forming muscle tissues‚ tendons‚ bones‚ and connective tissue and some examples of these are Actin‚ Coronin‚ Elastin‚ and Myosin. Globular proteins help in regulating

Honors 13 August 2014 Unit 1 Chapter 3 1) a. Monomers are small‚ simple molecules that when put together create carbon compounds‚ and polymers are molecules that consist of repeated units. b. Functional groups are made of clusters of atoms‚ while macromolecules are large polymers. c. A monosaccharide is a simple sugar‚ but a disaccharide is known as a double sugar‚ or two monosaccharaides. d. Long chains of amino acids are called polypeptides‚ and proteins are composed of one or more of them. e. Nucleic

Identifying Market Opportunities Through Marketing Information Systems And Research Having looked at the major elements in the international marketing environment‚ this section is concerned with identifying market opportunities. For many agricultural products which are exported from African countries much of this involves the use of "outsiders" - agents‚ for example‚ who know the foreign market opportunities. The Kenyan horticultural industry was developed partly because of the Asians who had left

Biological weapons include any organism (such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ or fungi) or toxin found in nature that can be used to kill or injure a person. The history of biological weapons starts back way before many people realize. Biological weapons have quite a few advantages and disadvantages. Biological weapons have been used as agents of terror and will continue to be used as such. Biological weapons are extremely dangerous and shouldn’t be used because they have the potential to wipe out entire

Enzymes are biological molecules‚ or proteins‚ that act as catalysts. Enzymes help complex reactions so that they may occur everywhere in life. For example‚ when you eat meat‚ the proteases work to help break down the peptide bonds that occur among the amino acids. Enzymes usually work to complete one specific job which makes them specific catalysts. They also won’t be found all over the body‚ enzymes are found in neural cells‚ intestinal cells‚ and saliva. Enzymes are among the many organic macromolecules
