    Mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotic cells that are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). They are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell. The main function of mitochondria is to convert the chemical energy found in food molecules (such as glucose) into a form that the cell can use for various metabolic processes. This process is known as cellular respiration and it occurs in two stages: glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. During glycolysis, glucose is converted into pyruvate, which then enters the mitochondria. In the citric acid cycle, pyruvate is further broken down and combined with oxygen to produce ATP. This process also generates heat and water as byproducts. Overall, mitochondria play a crucial role in providing energy for the cell's functions, including growth, repair, and reproduction.

1. The human brain is the most complex organ in the body, with over 100 billion neurons and trillions of  connections between them. 2. The brain is divided into several regions, each responsible for specific functions, such as memory,  movement, and emotion. 3. The brain is capable of plasticity, meaning it can change and adapt in response to new experiences  and learning. 4. The left hemisphere of the brain is typically associated with logical thinking and language, while the right hemisphere is associated with creativity and spatial awareness. 5. Stress and anxiety can have a negative impact on the brain, potentially leading to depression and  other  mental health issues. 6. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and adequate sleep can all positively impact brain function. 7. The brain continues to develop and change throughout a person's life, with important  developmental milestones occurring during childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. 8. The brain ...

The traditional intelligence test could measure only the cognitive aspect of one’s mental ability, but many psychologists like Gardner (1983) proposed that there are many forms of non-cognitive intelligence that affect our behaviour. He further noted that one’s intelligence quotient or IQ cannot explain cognitive ability fully. In the early 1990’s, John Mayer and Peter Salovey introduced and defined one of the most important non-cognitive intelligence: Emotional Intelligence (EI). In the Handbook of Intelligence (2000) they defined emotional intelligence (EI)  as “the ability to perceive and express emotion, assimilate emotion in thought, understand and reason with emotion, and regulate emotion in the self and others” (Mayer, Salovey, & Caruso, 2000, p. 396; see also Mayer & Salovey, 1997). Although Mayer and Salovey were responsible for introducing this term (EI) to the world of psychology it was Goleman’s (1995) bestselling book Emotional Intelligence:  Mayer and Sal...

SPEARMAN THEORIES OF INTELLIGENCE Charles Spearman’s theory of intelligence is known as the two-factor theory. Spearman noticed that children who perform well in one subject tend to have good marks in other subjects also. This observation led him to propose that there is a common factor which affect all of your activities. Using a statistical method called as “factor analysis”, he proposed that all cognitive activity or mental activity consist of two factors namely, “general” or “g” factor and “specific” or “s” factor. So, your intelligence is a sum of “g” factor and “s” factor. The “g” factor affects all kind of mental activities whereas; “s” factor influences your performance on specific or particular mental activity. Further, “g” factor is innate, and constant throughout one’s life, present in all cognitive activities. Whereas “s” factor is learned and varies with the task within the same individual, one can have many “s” factors and, it is associated with the only specific task. Pe...

How social media became a tool for Arab Spring?  The „Arab Spring‟ is a term used to define pro-democracy protests and rebellious actions the public took against their government. It started back in 2010 in Tunisia (Africa), when one street vendor named Sidi Bouazizi, set himself on fire when an official confiscated his vegetable cart and went on to humiliate him in public. The poor vendor‟s „mistake‟ was that he refused to pay bribes to the police. He set himself on fire and the whole country felt the jitters of pain, from which emerged a revolution that the Bouazizi incident Media and Psychology 40 An Introduction to Psychology and Media 40 sparked. This was labelled Jasmine revolution. The public was already aware of the rampant corruption, nepotism, election manipulation, and oppression. However, it seems, in retrospect, people were just waiting for an event that would surpass their limit of tolerance. The selfimmolation of Bouazizi stirred the public, who then was...

 Media Psychology Purview. As is evident, media psychology is the interface between media and technology, with human beings, their responses and behaviour. There is a reciprocal relationship between the two. As a sub-discipline in psychology, media psychology uses the theories, conceptual frameworks and research methods of psychology to examine the impact of mass media on individuals, groups, societies and cultures. : A whole system model of Media Psychology (Rutledge, 2010) According to Rutledge (2010) media psychology takes into consideration the whole system, which is a continual loop consisting of technological developments (i-pads and tablets), production of content (books, news, music), perception and consumption of that content (listening to music of choice or availability of news 24X7) and response of the consumer (internet addiction). Each of these components coexist, interact and coevolve with each other.
