Bio Exam 1 review

what is the process of learning?

stimulus - sensory memory - STM - LTM

the storage of sensory memory

temporary storage from 5 sense

the storage of STM

brief storage of info being used currently

the storage of LTM

Permanent storage for info not being used at that moment

the capacity of sensory memory

high

the capacity of STM

7 +/- 2 memories

the capacity of LTM

unlimited

duration of sensory memory

less than 1 second for vision and a few seconds for hearing

duration of STM

less than 20 seconds

duration of LTM

permanent as long as LTP is present

Type of sensory memory

declarative knowledge

type of STM

attention while in lecture

type of LTM

repetition of info, practice

neuronal development

brain develops and grows after birth (embryonic development)

neural plasticity

brain is changed after birth - synapses

activity dependent

lots of activity - more connections

themes of biology

emergence and reductionism

biological organizer levels

organelles - cells - tissue- organs/organ systems - organisms/populations/communities - ecosystem - biosphere

scientific method

observation - background - hypothesis/predictions - experiment - evaluate

what happens if once repeated and verified was unsuccessful?

go back to predictions

what happens if incorrect predictions?

revise predictions and hypothesis

what happens if repeat and verify is successful?

ask a new question

N/A

emergent properties of water

hydrogen bonding, cohesive behavior, moderate tempature, expansion upon freezing

hydrogen bonding

* bond pairing water molecules together
* leads to 4 other properties

cohesive behavior

* cohesion
* adhesion
* surface tension

cohesion

water sticking together - dome

adhesion

water sticking to other polar things - rain on window

surface tension

hard to break tension - spider

moderate tempeture

high specific heat

expansion upon freezing

ice floats - air pockets from hydrogen bonds
