Rutgers General Biology 115
Exam 1/179 Questions and
Answers 2024/2025
Neural Development - ANS >>involves gene expression and signal transduction (nervous system in the
brain)
Neuronal Plasticity - ANS >>modifications to nervous system after birth; activity dependent; "use it or
lose it"
Synapses - ANS >>junction between neurons that tell the brain memories. When broken, the memory is
"lost"
What's the first step in the process of memory formation? - ANS >>Stimulus
What's the second step in the process of memory formation? - ANS >>Sensory Memory
What's the third step in the process of memory formation? - ANS >>Short-Term Memory
What's the fourth step in the process of memory formation? - ANS >>Long-Term Memory
What process is it when you retrieve memory from the long-term memory into the short-term? - ANS
>>Long-Term Potentiation (LTP)
What happens when sensory memory and short-term memory is not encoded? - ANS >>Forgotten
, Long-Term Potentiation (LTP) - ANS >>encoding and reencoding memories; changes the brain (stronger
synapses/memory)
Neuron - ANS >>Nerve cell
Emergence - ANS >>the whole is more than just the sum of its parts (ex: H2O)
Levels of Biological Organization (largest to smallest) - ANS >>Biosphere > Ecosystems > Communities >
Populations > Organisms > Organs & Organ Systems > Tissues > Cells > Organelles > Molecule
BECPO(OS)TCOM - ANS >>an acronym for the levels of biological organization
What's 1st the level of biological organization? (from largest to smallest) - ANS >>Biosphere
What's 2nd the level of biological organization? (from largest to smallest) - ANS >>Ecosystems
What's 3rd the level of biological organization? (from largest to smallest) - ANS >>Communities
What's 4th the level of biological organization? (from largest to smallest) - ANS >>Populations
What's the 5th level of biological organization? (from largest to smallest) - ANS >>Organisms
What's 6th the level of biological organization? (from largest to smallest) - ANS >>Organs/Organ Systems
What's 7th the level of biological organization? (from largest to smallest) - ANS >>Tissues
What's the 8th level of biological organization? (from largest to smallest) - ANS >>Cells
