  2. Terrestrial ecosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial_ecosystem

    Terrestrial ecosystems occupy 55,660,000 mi 2 (144,150,000 km 2), or 28.26% of Earth's surface. [5] Major plant taxa in terrestrial ecosystems are members of the division Magnoliophyta (flowering plants), of which there are about 275,000 species, and the division Pinophyta (conifers), of which there are about 500 species.

  3. Memory transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_transfer

    Memory transfer proposes a chemical basis for memory termed memory RNA which can be passed down through flesh instead of an intact nervous system. Since RNA encodes information [ 1 ] and living cells produce and modify RNA in reaction to external events, it might also be used in neurons to record stimuli.

  4. Terrestrial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial

    Terrestrial gamma-ray flash, a burst of gamma rays produced in Earth's atmosphere; Terrestrial locomotion, evolutionary adaptation from aquatic types of locomotion; Terrestrial plant, a plant that grows on land rather than in water or on rocks or trees; Terrestrial planet, a planet that is primarily composed of silicate rocks, and thus "Earth-like"

  5. Memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory

    Memory capacity can be increased through a process called chunking. [29] For example, in recalling a ten-digit telephone number, a person could chunk the digits into three groups: first, the area code (such as 123), then a three-digit chunk (456), and, last, a four-digit chunk (7890). This method of remembering telephone numbers is far more ...

    Body memory, the hypothesis that (traumatic) memories can be stored in individual cells outside the brain; Neuronal memory allocation, the storage of memories in the brain at the cellular level; The epigenetic state of a cell, including the nongenetic information that can be passed from parents to offspring Genomic imprinting

  7. Terrestrial animal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial_animal

    The goat is a terrestrial animal.. Terrestrial animals are animals that live predominantly or entirely on land (e.g. cats, chickens, ants, most spiders), as compared with aquatic animals, which live predominantly or entirely in the water (e.g. fish, lobsters, octopuses), and semiaquatic animals, which rely on both aquatic and terrestrial habitats (e.g. platypus, most amphibians).

  8. Cognitive biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_biology

    Cognitive biology is an emerging science that regards natural cognition as a biological function. [1] It is based on the theoretical assumption that every organism—whether a single cell or multicellular—is continually engaged in systematic acts of cognition coupled with intentional behaviors, i.e., a sensory-motor coupling. [2]

  9. Biogeographic realm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biogeographic_realm

    A biogeographic realm is the broadest biogeographic division of Earth's land surface, based on distributional patterns of terrestrial organisms. They are subdivided into bioregions, which are further subdivided into ecoregions. A biogeographic realm is also known as "ecozone", although that term may also refer to ecoregions.
