Biological Psychology Introduction Psychology is eh study of the mind, mental processes and emotions especially in relation to behaviour. Biological psychology Different aspects of behaviour exist: * Physiological: relating to the activity, the function of the brain ans other organs. * Developmental: tracing how genes, nutrition and experiences influence behaviour. * Evolutionary: showing how certain behavioural patterns which evolved in our remote ancestors are inherited.

(Gail W. Jenkins, 2013). C. Which intracellular organelles have membranes as part of their structure? How would the breakdown of the membranes of these structures affect the function of Joseph’s heart cells? All the intracellular organelles have membranes excluding the ribosomes. If the membranes started to breakdown the whole cell in turn would not be capable of performing its various functions. This then would mean that none of the organelles would be able to carry out their functions (Gail

Human Cell Components Necleolus: The round granular structure within the nucleus of a cell, and composed of protein and RNA. Nucleolus is involved with ribosomal RNA synthesis and formation of ribosomes in cells. Nucleoplasm The nucleoplasm is a highly viscous liquid that surrounds the chromosomes and nucleoli. Many substances such as nucleotides (necessary for purposes such as the replication of DNA) and enzymes (which direct activities that take place in the nucleus) are dissolved in the

the essential difference between the cytosol and the extra cellular environment. Inside the cell the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and other membrane bound organelles in a eukaryotic cell maintain the characteristic differences between the contents of each organelle and the cytosol. Ion gradients across membranes, established by the activities of specialized membrane proteins, can be used to synthesize ATP to drive the transmembrane movement of selected solutes

carried out in there. Complex sugars including glycogen and melanin which is the pigment responsible for skin and hair colour are in the cytoplasm. These chemicals are the basic living materials that a cell needs. Organelles are the various components of a cell with a specific structure and function and are linked to miniature organs. These include: Mitochondria: These are small components within cells that perform different important functions in order to keep the body healthy. They make the energy

nuclear membrane and other membrane bound organelles. Their genetic material consists of a single molecule of singular DNA. Eukaryotic, such as plant and animal cells have a nuclear membrane and other membrane bound organelles. Their genetic structure consists of one or more linear strands of DNA. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, cytoplasm, and a plasma membrane surrounding the cell. The typical plant cell has in addition a cell wall, a rigid structure made up of cellulose that surrounds the plasma

The reason why I has picked these Two is because i feel there was a lot of similarities to each other. My first organelle is the Nucleus, the Nucleus is like the manger in a sense at Knotts Berry Farm. This particular organelle is found in eukaryotic cells. The Nucleus is the main part of the cell because it controls the parts of the cell. The reason why believe that the Nucleus is like the manager because they are both full in control at all times. The cytoplasm can be the pavement and grass of

study of the interactions among the system's parts. Eukaryotic Cell A type of cell with a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles. Organisms with eukaryotic cells (protists, plants, fungi, and animals) are called eukaryotes. Prokaryotic Cell A type of cell lacking a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles. Organisms with prokaryotic cells (bacteria and archaea) are called prokaryotes. Gene A discrete unit of hereditary information consisting

no membrane-bound organelles, but they have different ancestral origins and Archaea have more complex RNA polymerases. Each bacterial cell contains a capsule, cell wall, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, flagella, pili, ribosomes, and plasmids. The capsule is the outer layer of the cell and is composed of polysaccharides,
