Distinguishing Properties and Substances

Explain the differences between the following concepts:

1. Physical vs. Chemical Properties

   Physical properties depend only on the substance itself (e.g., density), whereas chemical properties depend on the interaction with other substances (e.g., reactivity).

2. General vs. Specific Properties

   General properties are not useful for distinguishing types of matter (e.g., mass), while specific properties are useful for identification (e.g., boiling point).

3. Pure Substances vs. Mixtures

   Pure substances have a uniform composition in any of their parts (e.g., water). Mixtures are formed by two or more pure substances combined physically (e.g., saltwater).

4. Simple Substances vs. Compounds

   Simple substances (elements) have only

The Nephron

The nephron is the functional unit of the kidneys, responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. Each kidney contains over one million nephrons.

Parts of the Nephron

• Bowman's Capsule: Surrounds a tiny network of capillaries.
• Tubule: Shaped like a handle, the tubule of several nephrons empties into a larger tube called a collecting duct.
• Collecting Ducts: Move urine into the renal pelvis.

Kidney Function

1. Filtration: Molecules exit the bloodstream and enter the Bowman's capsule, forming filtrate.
2. Reabsorption: As filtrate travels through the tubule, some molecules are reabsorbed by the capillaries. Glucose, 99% of water, a small amount of urea, and salts return to the blood.
3. Excretion: The remaining filtrate forms urine, which is excreted

Ethical Considerations in Psychological Research

One ethical consideration in psychological research is the use of deception. Deception occurs when a participant is not made fully aware of the purpose of a study or is intentionally misinformed. Researchers often use deception to hide the true aim of an experiment. If participants knew the aim, they might demonstrate demand characteristics, either trying to give the researchers what they want or behaving in a way that makes them look their best, a phenomenon known as the social desirability effect.

Deception is problematic because it undermines the concept of informed consent. It violates the trust between a researcher and a participant. Additionally, it increases the chance that a participant... Continue reading "Ethical Deception in Research & Multi-Store Memory Model" »

The Renaissance was an artistic-cultural movement that, from Italy, spread throughout Western Europe from the 15th century. It was the cultural manifestation of a change in the European mentality that went from a theocentric world view, typical of the medieval period, to an anthropocentric one. This change, manifested in the humanist philosophical current, is considered the beginning of the Modern Age.

Principles:

• Anthropocentrism: They rejected theocentric mentality which revolved around God. They believed humans were the centre of the universe.
• Classical antiquity: They studied Greek and Latin texts and were inspired by the philosophers of antiquity.
• Scientific curiosity: They were interested in science and technological progress.

Origin:

During... Continue reading "The Renaissance: A Cultural Movement from Italy to Western Europe" »
