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

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_forward

They would need to be on different levels, such as molecular, cellular, or organism. Thank you!arrow_forward28. Neuroimaging research from Gallant Lab on the representation of the mental lexicon showed which of the following? words that are semantically related are represented in distant areas of cerebral cortex a single word is only represented in one area of the brain words that are closely phonologically related are represented in closely located areas of the brain spatial organization of words in the cortex is meaningfully related to the organization of other functions, for example, words that are associated with visual relations are located in occipital (visual) cortexarrow_forward

Describe an experiment you could do to test this hypothesis. the scientist need to be specific from the beginning of of the experiment by identifying the mutation to the end including experiment, propagation of action potential, its effect on signal transmission and synapse and give an example of the phenotype you anticipate to observearrow_forward
