General Biology 115 Exam 1 (New 2026/
2027 Update) Questions & Answers {Grade
A} 100% Correct (Verified Solutions)-
Rutgers
Neural Development - Correct answer involves gene expression and signal
transduction (nervous system in the brain)
Neuronal Plasticity - Correct answer modifications to nervous system after birth;
activity dependent; "use it or lose it"
Synapses - Correct answer 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? - Correct answer Stimulus
What's the second step in the process of memory formation? - Correct answer
Sensory Memory
,What's the third step in the process of memory formation? - Correct answer Short-
Term Memory
What's the fourth step in the process of memory formation? - Correct answer Long-
Term Memory
What process is it when you retrieve memory from the long-term memory into the
short-term? - Correct answer Long-Term Potentiation (LTP)
What happens when sensory memory and short-term memory is not encoded? -
Correct answer Forgotten
Long-Term Potentiation (LTP) - Correct answer encoding and reencoding memories;
changes the brain (stronger synapses/memory)
Neuron - Correct answer Nerve cell
Emergence - Correct answer the whole is more than just the sum of its parts (ex: H2O)
, Levels of Biological Organization (largest to smallest) - Correct answer Biosphere >
Ecosystems > Communities > Populations > Organisms > Organs & Organ Systems >
Tissues > Cells > Organelles > Molecule
BECPO(OS)TCOM - Correct answer an acronym for the levels of biological organization
What's 1st the level of biological organization? (from largest to smallest) - Correct
answer Biosphere
