Phototrophs Organisms are usually classified based on their nutritional need, and according to this criterion, there are two distinct groups, the phototrophs and the chemotrophs. Phototrophs rely on energy from the sun to manufacture their food in the form of ATP (Parker et al., 2017). The sunlight oxidizes organic molecules...

Anthropology. Kinship Diagram: Story of Family

To complete this kinship diagram project, I prefer to use a nonunilineal descent system, also known as bilateral descent. In anthropology, understanding kindship is a crucial aspect, with the help of which individuals are able to identify and describe their family relationships. There are three functions of any kinship system:...

Cognitive Neuroscience: Language Processing and Memory

The statement that the left hemisphere controls language is wrong since the activity of the hemisphere is imbalanced. Thus, this is most evident in individuals, where the right hemisphere regulates spatial awareness and manages the opposite side of the brain. In contrast, the left hemisphere handles logical thinking and motor...
