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_forwardOn a hot day out, Marie uses a book as a fan to cool her off. During an unexpected rain shower, Marie holds the newspaper over her head to block the rain. During a snowstorm, Marie uses the car floor mats as traction under the tires to get unstuck. In each case, Marie overcomes . 2 When you meet Joe, he tells you that he loves math and building computers and robots. You decide that Joe must be an engineering student and not a liberal arts student, even though there are more liberal arts students at your school. In making this decision, you have just used: 1 When your friends start dating, you say ‘Aw, you are so good together!” Later when you hear they broke up you say, “I knew that wasn’t gonna last!” This bias is called:1 Sheldon thinks immigrants are defrauding the social benefit system, taking jobs, and committing crimes at an exceptionally high rate.
