What is 'innate behaviour'? Where does it feature in the environment? And how does it compare to 'learned behaviour? Innate behaviour is instinctive; it is determined by our nervous system and does not involve conscious decision. It is often inflexible, such as a reflex response to a stimulus. We do not acquire innate behaviour through learning and practice, but are born with the behaviour pattern 'hard-wired' into our nervous system. We have inherited the response in our genes from our parents. There is little variation in response between individuals. You do not need to learn how to sneeze, or a spider does not learn how to spin a web; this things come 'naturally'. Learned behaviour however does involve learning, and we modify our learned behaviour responses as a result of experience. This means that learned behaviour does vary between individuals.

All living organisms are made up of cells - they are the basic building blocks of life. There are two important categories of cells: plant cells and animal cells. In this video we look at animal cells in more detail. Animal cells are the type of cell that make up our bodies... and the bodies of al
Learn the basics about carbon neutral and biofuels, as a part of environmental chemistry. Coal, oil, natural gas, shale gas and gas from fracking are fossil fuels formed hundreds of millions of years ago from living things that got trapped by layers of sediment before they had time to decompose. H
The way we grow and develop in the womb is controlled by our DNA. Small sections of DNA, called genes, carry the code telling the body how to build itself. Usually this works fine, but sometimes those genes carry mistakes in their code. These mistakes, known as mutations, may have no effect, they ma
