RUTGERS BIOLOGY FINAL (115) STUDY GUIDE EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS UPDATED 2024/2025 A COMPLETE EXAM WITH CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS BEST RATED A+ FOR SUCCESS
Nervous system - CORRECT ANSWERS circuits of neurons and supporting
cells
neuronal plasticity - CORRECT ANSWERS the ability nervous system to
change after birth. Changes to the number of connections between neurons that
take place during an individuals lifetime
Embryonic neural development and neuronal plasticity - CORRECT ANSWERS
synapse formation involved in both
short term memory - CORRECT ANSWERS information stored for a short
time, released if not used
long term memory - CORRECT ANSWERS activated when information
needs to be retained. When needed info retrieved into STM
long term potentiation - CORRECT ANSWERS lasting increase in the
strength of synaptic transmission -physiological changes, facilitated memory and
retrieval, activity dependent
failure to retrieve from long term memory would affect LTP but not LTM OR STM
LTP (long term potentiation)/memory formation facilitated by - CORRECT
ANSWERS chunking
Encoding - CORRECT ANSWERS transfer from STM to LTM forms a memory

emergent properties - CORRECT ANSWERS result from the arrangement
and interaction of parts within a system
emergence - CORRECT ANSWERS the whole is more than just the sum of
its parts
Levels of organization(Low to High) - CORRECT ANSWERS molecule,
organelle, cells, tissues, organs/organ systems, organisms, populations,
communities, ecosystem, biosphere
reductionism - CORRECT ANSWERS reduction of complex systems to
similar components that are more manageable to study
hypothesis - CORRECT ANSWERS testable explanation for observations

leads to new hypothesis and accurate predictions
law - CORRECT ANSWERS statement of what always occurs under certain
circumstances, observable pattern, not explanatory
atoms made up of - CORRECT ANSWERS protons, neutrons, electrons

DETAILED ANSWERS BEST RATED A+ FOR SUCCESS
potential energy - CORRECT ANSWERS energy that a material possess due
to its location or structure. can be used to do work
valence electrons - CORRECT ANSWERS outermost shell
molecule - CORRECT ANSWERS a compound of 2 or more atoms held
together by chem bonds
Electronegativity - CORRECT ANSWERS measure of an atoms affinity for e
in chem bonds
covalent bonds - CORRECT ANSWERS sharing of a pair of valence electrons
by two atoms. STRONGEST BOND
Non-polar: electrons shared equally
polar covalent: unequal sharing causes partial + or - charge
Ionic Bond - CORRECT ANSWERS highly unequal electronegativity. bond
between cation (+) and anion (-)
Van deer Waals interactions - CORRECT ANSWERS short lived, weak
interactions due to electron position and motion
Hydrogen Bonds - CORRECT ANSWERS When H bonds with O or N type of

1st emergent property of water - CORRECT ANSWERS 1) Hydrogen bond:
water is a polar molecule
2nd emergent property of water - CORRECT ANSWERS cohesive (stick
together due to H bonds) (causes surface tension: measure of how difficult it is to
break the surface of a liquid)/adhesive (stick to other stuff) behavior
3rd emergent property of water - CORRECT ANSWERS Moderate
Temperature: high specific heat (amount of energy it takes to raise 1g of a
substance 1 degree Celsius) (takes a lot of energy to raise temp of water)
4th emergent property of water - CORRECT ANSWERS expansion upon
freezing (ice floats freezes top to bottom)
5th emergent property of water - CORRECT ANSWERS versatility as a
solvent: hydrophilic: loves water has affinity for it, will dissolve, can form H bonds
with water. Hydrophobic: non polar and non ionic cannot for H bonds, no affinity
for water
Carbon Backbone variation - CORRECT ANSWERS Length
Branching
Double bonds
Rings
Hydrocarbons - CORRECT ANSWERS Compounds composed of only carbon
and hydrogen
