The Elements of Life

In biology, the elements of life are the essential building blocks that make up living things. They are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur. The first four of these are the most important, as they are used to construct the molecules that are necessary to make up living cells. These elements form the basic building blocks of the major macromolecules of life, including carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins. Carbon is an important element for all living organisms, as it is used to construct the basic building blocks of life, such as carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Even the cell membranes are made of proteins. Carbon is also used to construct the energy-rich molecules adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and guanosine triphosphate (GTP). Hydrogen is used to construct the molecules water and organic compounds with carbon. Hydrogen is also used to construct ATP and GTP. Nitrogen is used to construct the basic building blocks of life, such as amino acids, nucleic acids, and proteins. It is also used to construct ATP and GTP. Oxygen is used to construct the basic building blocks of life, such as carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. It is also used to construct ATP and GTP. Phosphorus is used to construct the basic building blocks of life, such as carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.

Developmental psychologists study physical, cognitive, and ________ changes throughout the human life span.

social

Theories of human development have been most susceptible to criticism for overemphasizing

discrete age-linked stages.

During the course of successful prenatal development, a human organism begins as a(n)

zygote and finally develops into a fetus.

A preference for our mother's voice over our father's voice has been detected as early as

the day after birth.

Alcohol may cause fetal damage by leaving chemical marks on DNA that switch genes abnormally on or off. This best illustrates

an epigenetic effect.

Infant visual preferences have been discovered by assessing infants'

habituation.

Maturation refers to

biological growth processes that are relatively uninfluenced by experience.

The concept of maturation is most relevant to understanding the absence of

bladder control among 2-year-olds.

Three-year-olds who experienced a fire evacuation caused by a burning popcorn maker were unable to remember the cause of this vivid event when they were 10-year-olds. This best illustrates

infantile amnesia.

The first time that 4-year-old Sarah saw her older brother play a flute, she thought it was simply a large whistle. Sarah's initial understanding of the flute best illustrates the process of

assimilation

Object permanence is the understanding that

things continue to exist even when they are not perceived.

The egocentrism of preschoolers was most strongly emphasized by

Piaget's cognitive development theory.

According to Piaget, imagining an action and mentally reversing it would be an example of a

mental operation.

Preschoolers' acquisition of a theory of mind suggests that Piaget overestimated young children's

egocentrism.

Children for whom amniotic fluid analysis indicated high prenatal testosterone develop more

autistic traits.

Which of the following is the correct order for the developing organism during prenatal development?

There are three stages of prenatal development: germinal, embryonic, and fetal.

During what weeks of development is the human baby called an embryo quizlet?

It is called an embryo for the first 7 weeks. At the 8th week, it is called a fetus, which means "young in the womb".

Which prenatal stage begins when a zygote is created through fertilization quizlet?

The germinal stage is the stage from conception to about two weeks. During this stage, a zygote becomes a mass of cells that implants in the uterine wall, marking the start of the placenta's formation.

What do we call a developing human organism from 9 weeks to birth?

Your developing fetus has already gone through a few name changes in the first few weeks of pregnancy. Generally, it's called an embryo from conception until the eighth week of development. After the eighth week, it's called a fetus until it's born.
