9907718702Aeneid Book 4 Lines 659-705Dido is very sad at this point as she watched her husband sail away. She talks with her sister. Then, the next day, she commits suicide.14
9907718703Aeneid Book 6, Lines 295-314Aeneas, with the Sibyl, reaches the shores of Tartarus, and sees the ferryman Charon. He pushes a little boat to transport souls across the river, and the souls of the dead crowd the shores to reach him.15
9907718704Aeneid Book 6, Lines 315-332Charon takes some souls, but not others. Aeneas asks the Sibyl why. She says that the people who are unburied cannot cross the Styx for 100 years, so they wander on the shores. Aeneas thinks about their fate.16
9907718705Aeneid Book 6, Lines 384-410Aeneas and the Sibyl approach the shore, and Charon sees them. He greets them with hostility, mentions other times heros got on his boat. The Sibyl explains they're friendly and shows the golden twig. Charon is moved and comes to shore.17

9907718716Caesar Book 4.24Romans try and beach britain but lose confidence as they are not skilled to fight in water as the british are on dry land.28
9907718717Caesar Book 4.25Caesar orders war ships to transport vessels and this scares the barbarians and causes them to retreat a little. Standard bearer hypes up the men and jumps off the ship leading them into battle29
9907718718Caesar Book 4.26Caesar's men are embarrassing themselves because they can't fight properly so caesar sends in support ships to help their lads out30
9907718719Caesar Book 4.27The Britains and Caesar negotiate terms of peace. Commius is returned to the Romans. Caesar basically calls them out for making war with him without reason but forgives their ignorance and demands hostages. They set up a formal surrender in a few days.31
9907718720Caesar Book 4.28A storm picks up and offsets the ships at the upper port with the calvary. Some ships are pushed back to Gaul, some are damaged.32
9907718721Caesar Book 4.29Now the tide comes in which no Roman was aware of. Every ship at sea is in a wreck, lost, or flooded. The whole army is thrown into confusion. They need parts and grain.33
9907718722Caesar Book 4.30when the Britians saw Caesar without men, ships, or food they thought to renew the war.34
9907718723Caesar Book 4.31Caesar w the comeback gets his men food from the countryside and sneaks off wood and brass to repair the ships for night travel35
9907718724Caesar Book 4.32the barbarians try and make plays but because the Romans saw too much dust in the distance, the barbarians end up getting played and surrounded by legions and cohorts36
9907718725Caesar Book 4.33talks about the ways in which they fight on chariot37
9907718726Caesar Book 4:34Caesar helped at the right time but only escaped instead of full scale battle. Storms follow for several days. Barbarians rally local barbarians to kill the romans and throw off their yoke forever38
9907718727Caesar Book 4.35Caesar saw this coming and met them halfway and killed the barbarians with the help of Commius and his calvary. They routed, killed and burned what they had left.39
9907718728Caesar Book 4.36Caesar negotiates peace and receives double the hostages he asked for previously40
9907718729Caesar 5.24Caesar distributed his legions among several states so that he could fix the problem of the scarce amount of corn being distributed.41
9907718730Caesar 5.25Tasgetius was a high ranking, wealthy Carnute. He was killed in his third year of ruling by his enemies who included many that were part of his state. Caesar learned of the death and was informed that all his legions were fortified in their winter-quarters.42
9907718731Caesar 5.26Some of Caesar's troops were attacked by Ambiorix and Cativolus while they were gathering food and supplies. Quickly other troops came in and drove off the enemies.43
9907718732Caesar 5.27Ambiorix reveals the plans of the Gauls to join with the Germans, and attack the winter-quarters, all in the same day. Ambiorix says that because he owes Caesar, he is giving him notice. He promises to let them have safe passage through his territory.44
9907718733Caesar 5.28After hearing the want of Caesar's troops to fight the enemies, a Council came together to debate whether they should fight and wait for Caesar's orders or flee. One reason to stay was that they sustained the attacks from the Germans. Another reason was that they shouldn't believe what the enemy says.45
9907718734Caesar 5.29Titurius believed that they would decide too late and that the Germans already are assembling to fight. He talks about their loss of Gaul and the death if Ariovistis was very impactful. He also doubts Ambiorix's "plan" of surrendering. Ambiorix should be feared and they should prepare for danger.46
9907718735Caesar 5.30After both sides made their case, Sabinus tells the soldiers that he hopes he is not the only one that is well aware of the disaster that is bound to happen. He says that the troops will experience war and they will die by sword or by famine.47
9907718736Caesar 5.31The debate continues till midnight. Cotta is overruled and Sabinus' plan wins. They decide to leave at daybreak. All the soldiers gather their things while making a great amount of noise. They have everything ready, yet they are tired, to easily leave because they believed in Ambiorix to allow them to pass without harm.48
9907718737Caesar 5.32The enemy are waiting outside the winter quarters for the arrival of the Romans. They attack them as they are in a valley and unready.49
9907718738Caesar 5.33Sabinus runs around scared and without a plan. Cotta tries his best as he thought this might happen. The soldiers try to get a battle line together by telling everyone to drop baggage and get into formation. General chaos everywhere.50
9907718739Caesar 5.34The barbarians had a good plan and were very organized. Many Romans fought bravely and killed many enemy even if abandoned by their leader (Sabinus). Ambiorix guides enemy to avoid well-organized Romans.51
9907718740Caesar 5.35Long day of fighting outside winter quarters of Sabinus and Cotta. Brave Titus Balventius is wounded. Quintus Lucanius is killed helping his son. Cotta is wounded while encouraging his men.52
9907718741Caesar 5.36Sabinus sends an interpreter to Ambiorix to ask for surrender. He asks Cotta if he wants to have a meeting: Cotta refuses to go up to an armed enemy.53
9907718742Caesar 5.37Sabinus talks to Ambiorix, is surrounded and killed. Cotta is killed while fighting. Lucius Petrosidius throws the eagle into the ramparts and dies. Survivors kill themselves. Some escape and tell Labienus what happened.54
9907718743Caesar 5.38Ambiorix is happy and gets more Gauls (Nervii) excited to fight. They set sights on Cicero.55
9907718744Caesar 5.39Many head to Cicero's winter quarters and capture (again) men gathering wood and supplies. They attack the calvary and then the legion. Romans barely sustain attack and enemy confident of victory.56
9907718745Caesar 5.40They send messages to Caesar. Cicero fortifies the winter quarters and fill the ditch. They work day and night.57
9907718746Caesar 5.41Two Nervians give Cicero the same offer that Ambiorix gave to Sabinus. Cicero says that no Roman would accept the offer of an armed enemy. Cicero offers to send a message to Caesar.58
9907718747Caesar 5.42The Nervii build fortifications of their own around the camp outside of Cicero's winter quarters.59
9907718748Caesar 5.437th day of attack. There is a big fire. The enemy begins to scale the walls of Cicero's winter quarters. The Romans fight bravely.60
9907718749Caesar 5.44Pullo and Vorenus.61
9907718750Caesar 5.45The worst day of the battle. A Nervian volunteers to send a message about the attack on Cicero's winter quarters to Caesar.62
9907718751Caesar 5.46Caear receives the message about the attack on Cicero's winter quarters and send his own to gather troops.63
9907718752Caesar 5.47Crassus and Fabius are coming to help troops at Cicero's winter quarters with a legion but Labienus is afraid to leave and get attacked himself.64
9907718753Caesar 5.48Goes with the two legions to help Cicero. Cicero finally gets the letter from the tower, reads it to his men and sees the signs of legions in the distance.65
9907718754Caesar Book 6.13Caesar describes the two kinds of men in Gaul. (He describes how many common people are essentially slaves, and turn over their rights to more powerful people when they are oppressed or overwhelmed by debt or etc.) The first is that of the Druids. The Druids interpret religious matters and perform sacrifices. They decide legal disputes. There is one Druid whom reigns supreme over the others. Once per year, they assemble in the territory of the Carnutes to decide disputes. Caesar also supposes that the Druid order was begun in Britain.66
9907718755Caesar Book 6.14The Druids aren't involved in war or paying taxes. Many Druids were sent to the organization by family, and spend up to 20 years learning verses. However, they don't write them down, because they don't want the common folk to be able to learn them and because it's more rigorous to memorize them without writing. They believe in a form of reincarnation, and tell the youth about astronomy.67
9907718756Caesar Book 6.15The second order is the knights. They are usually engaged in war every year, and excel in that respect. Those born into good families receive many slaves. This is the lifestyle that they choose to live.68
9907718757Caesar Book 6.16Caesar describes the Gallic practice of human sacrifice. They sacrifice those who are seriously ill or prisoners, and the Druids preside over these ceremonies. They do it to please the gods. Most of the time, they create giant figures and put the sacrifices inside of them for burning. When they can't sacrifice a guilty person, sometimes they resort to sacrificing innocent people to please the will of the gods.69
9907718758Caesar Book 6.17The Gauls worship many gods, but especially like Mercury. They consider him to be the top god, and worship Apollo (avoiding disease), Mars (wars), Jupiter (command of heavenly beings), and Minerva (works and trades) below him. For Mars, they sacrifice animals and take spoils of war and place them in sacred locations. It is a crime to either hide these things in your house or attempt to take one, and the punishment for this is death by torture.70
9907718759Caesar Book 6.18The Gauls think that they are descended from the god Dis (AKA Pluto). This is a Druid teaching. They use this belief to justify their division of days "so that day follows night". Additionally, children are not allowed to openly approach their father in public until they can fight in war.71
9907718760Caesar Book 6.19In marriage, both men and women have a dowry, and all of this money is put into a singular account. Whoever survives longer gets the money that is in this account. Fathers have authority over life of their wives and children, and if a father dies and there is a suspicion that he might have been murdered, an investigation is launched. Gallic funerals involve burning all of the things which they held dear to the deceased person, including animals and slaves.72
9907718761Caesar Book 6.20It is not allowed to tell rumors or secrets about the state behind the state's back. This is because more inexperienced men heard false rumors and went crazy because of them. It's up to the magistrates to decide what the common people should and should not know about the state.73

6309520736Wobbleflexible base pairing at codon position30
6309520737Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)made in nucleolus, make up ribosomal subunits31
6309520738P Site (peptidyl-tRNA site)holds tRNA carrying growing polypeptide chain32
6309520739A Site (aminoacyl-tRNA site)holds tRNA carrying next AA to be added in chain33
6309520740E Site (exit site)where discharged tRNAs leave ribosome34
6309520741Release Factorprotein that binds to stop codon @ A site35
6309520742Polyribosomes-strings of ribosomes trailing along mRNA -enables cells to make many copies of polypeptide quickly36
6309520743Signal Peptide-targets protein to ER -marks if polypeptide of proteins destined for endomembrane system or for secretion37
6309520744Signal Recognition Particle (SRP)brings ribosome to receptor protein into ER membrane38
6309520745Signal Mechanism for Targeting Proteins to ER1. polypeptide synthesis begins on free ribosome in cytosol 2. SRP binds to signal peptide, halting synthesis momentarily 3. SRP binds to receptor proteins in ER membrane (receptor is part of protein complex w/ membrane and signal cleaving enzyme) 4. SRP leaves, and polypeptide synthesis resumes w/ simultaneous translocation across membrane (signal peptide stays attached to translocation complex) 5. signal cleaving enzyme cuts off signal peptide 6. rest of complexed polypeptide leaves ribosome and folds into final conformation39
6309520746Mutations-change into genetic information of cell -responsible for huge diversity of genes found along organisms40
6309520747Point Mutations-chemical changes in a single base pair of a gene -if occurs in a gamete, can be transmitted to offspring and future generations41
6309520748Base Pair Substitutionsreplacement of one nucleotide and its partner w/ another pair of nucleotides42
6309520749Missense Mutations-change one amino acid to another -new amino acid may have properties similar to replaced amino acid, or may be in region where exact sequence of amino acids not essential to proteins functions43
6309520750Nonsense Mutation-change codon for amino acid into stop codon -causes translation to be terminated prematurely -resulting polypeptide shorter than polypeptide encoded by normal gene44
6309520751Insertionsadditions of nucleotide pairs in gene45
6309520752Deletionlosses of nucleotide pairs in gene46
6309520753Frameshift Mutations-# nucleotides inserted/deleted NOT multiple of 3 -may alter reading frame of genetic message47
6309520754Mutagenphysical and chemical agents that interact w/ DNA that cause mutations48

7798090549SensationProcess by which our sensory receptors recieve stimulus energies from the environment0
7798090550PerceptionProcess by organizing and interpreting sensory information. Enabling us to recognize meaningful events/objects1
7798090551Bottom-Up ProcessingBegins with sensory receptors that send up to the brain2
7798090552Top-Down ProcessingConducted by higher level mental processes, construct drawings on experiences and expectations Example: Michelle one time had a comment given to her in a specific pitch (offensive comment). Now, every time she hears a comment in that pitch she finds it offensive.3
7798090553Selective AttentionFocusing on conscious awareness on a particular stimulus Example: My selective attention right now is doing this quizlet.4
7798090554Cocktail Party EffectExample: Hearing your name at the other side of the room. or when we hear there will be a pop quiz, you will immediately question if we have one5
7798090555Inattentional BlindnessFailing to see visible objects when our attention is elsewhere Example: When you're texting and driving. You're attention is only on the phone; thus, you get into a car crash.6
7798090556Change BlindnessFailure to see changes in the environment Example: Not noticing the change in desks in a classroom7
7798090557Change Blindness includes :Change Deafness Choice Blindness8
7798090558Change DeafnessPeople ignore or tune you out because you have changed Example: Daniella's father likes Marco Rubio. Daniella doesn't like Marco Rubio. Whenever Daniella makes a comment about Marco Rubio her father tunes her out.9
7798090559Choice BlindnessChoosing to ignore something because you don't like it Example: Son who tells parent he is gay. Parent will ignore that the son is gay and act like he isn't.10
7798090560PsychophysicsStudy of relationships between the physical characteristics of stimuli, such as their intensity, and our psychological experience on them11
7798090561Absolute ThresholdMinimum stimulation necessary to detect a particular stimuli 50% of the time12
7798090562Signal-Detection TheoryWhen we detect the presence of a faint stimulus amid loud background noise w/out having to achieve threshold based on alertness experience13
7798090563SubliminalBelow one's absolute threshold for conscious awareness Example: Brushing our teeth, we don't think about it. (natural)14
7798090564PrimingPredisposing one's perception, memory, or response Example: Showing a scary photo of a clown. Later someone shows the image of a man, but the person thinks the man is scary due to them being primed w/ the stimulus of being scared already.15
7798090565Difference Threshold (nickname = noticeable difference)Minimum difference between 2 stimuli required for detection 50% of the time16
7798090566Weber's LawTo be perceived as different, two stimuli must differ by constant percentage17
7798090567Sensory AdaptationDiminished sensitivity as a result of constant stimulation Example: Stare at a photo of a man (the eye) parts of vision is lost & face starts to disappear18
