Concept explainers
To explain: How the themes of biology represent the activity of text messaging involving muscles and nerves in the hand.
Concept introduction:
Biology is the scientific study of life and related biological aspects. The interactions among living organisms and with the environment are explained by different themes. These themes are unifying and are based on organization, information, energy and matter, interactions, and evolution.
Explanation of Solution
In the present days, mobiles phones and other hand-held devices are widely used for communication and text messaging. Text messaging involves use of thumb and fingers in the hand. These movements are coordinated by muscles, bones, and nerves in the hand that are made up of cells. Cells are the smallest units of

- In a study published in Science, Premack and Woodruff asked: "To what extent does the chimpanzee comprehend the elements of a problem situation and potential solutions?" An adult chimpanzee (Sarah) was shown 30-second videotapes of a human actor struggling with one of several problems (for example, not able to reach bananas hanging from the ceiling, a record player not playing). Then Sarah was shown two photographs, one that depicted a solution to the problem (like stepping onto a box, plugging in the record player) and one that did not. She was then instructed to pick one of the photos and place it under the television monitor. (Sarah had been raised in captivity since age one and had extensive prior exposure to photographs and television.) The order in which the scenes were presented to Sarah was randomized, as was the left/right position of the photos presented to her. Sarah was shown eight different scenarios. For each scenario, researchers recorded whether Sarah selected the…arrow_forwardHow are these systems different?arrow_forwardCan any one help me with this ? I am making notes on diagrams.

- This activity will help you remember the functions of select cellular structures. Choose 5 or more cellular structures and write an analogy about how those structures function together in an everyday system. The analogous system should be something you already know (e.g., football organization, factory, etc.). Be sure to use only one every day system that incorporates all 5+ cellular structures (and not a different, unrelated system for each structure). Be sure to: Include 5 or more cellular structures Relating all the cellular structures to a single everyday system Accurately representing the analogous functions of the cellular structures Be creative and uniquearrow_forwardWhat is Jean Piaget's theory and what are five main ideas of his theory?
