Bicep muscles is the flexor muscle that straightens the limb, while the triceps muscle is the extensor muscle that bends the limb

Bicep muscles is the flexor muscle that bends the limb, while the triceps muscle is the extensor muscle that straightens the limb

They are the same

What's the difference between tibia and fibula?

Fibula is the lateral and the smaller bone, while tibia is the medial and larger bone

Fibula is the lateral and the bigger bone, while tibia is the medial and smaller bone

Tibia is the lateral and the smaller bone, while fibula is the medial and bigger bone

They are the same

What is not true about movement?

Bones can move

Skeletal muscles contract and relax

Muscles works in pairs: flexors and extensors

When straightening the elbow, biceps relax, triceps contract

What is the BIGGEST difference between learned behavior and innate behavior?

Innate behavior is known by yourself without prior experience, while learned behavior is obtained from practice and experience

Innate behavior always stays exactly the same, while learned behavior can change

Innate behavior helps survival, while learned behavior does not

Innate behavior cannot be inherited, while learned behavior can

What is the difference between operant conditioning and classical conditioning?

Classical conditioning is a new stimulus is associated with a pre-existing response through repeat pairing of new and previously known stimuli, while operant conditioning is learning to perform a behavior more or less frequently through a reward or punishment that follows the behavior

Classical conditioning is only useful for humans, while operant conditioning can be used for all animals

Classical conditioning is associated only with reward, while operant conditioning is associated only with punishment

Classical conditioning is discovered by an American, while operant conditioning is discovered by a Russian

What is not true about pheromones?

It is a secreted chemical signal used to trigger a response to all species

It can attract the opposite sex

Because it can increase their bond

Because it can protect males from being eaten long enough to mate

What is not true about eusociality?

There are overlapping generations

There is clear division of labor

Ant colonies are an example of this
