Examples of primary in the following topics:
-
Primary and Secondary Research
-
Primary Groups
- Families and close friends are examples of primary groups.
- Primary groups play an important role in the development of personal identity.
- Cooley argued that the impact of the primary group is so great that individuals cling to primary ideals in more complex associations and even create new primary groupings within formal organizations.
- Relationships formed in primary groups are often long lasting and goals in themselves.
- This family from the 1970s would be an example of a primary group.
-
Primary Market Research
- Primary research consists of the collection of original primary data.
- Primary research consists of the collection of original primary data.
- There are advantages and disadvantages to primary research.
- It takes longer to undertake primary research than to acquire secondary data.
- All research, whether primary or secondary, depends eventually on the collection of primary research data.
-
Primaries and Caucuses
- The Iowa caucuses are the first nominating election to occur in the presidential primary season and, therefore, they often have a significant impact on later primaries.
- Not every election is preceded by a primary season, but most major races, such as presidential and congressional races, use primaries to narrow the field of candidates.
- In a closed primary, only voters who are registered with the party holding the primary are allowed to vote.
- In an open primary system, voters can vote in either primary regardless of affiliation.
- Summarize the primary system and how a primary differs from a caucus
-
Primary and Secondary Groups
- A Primary group is typically a small social group whose members share close, personal, enduring relationships.
- Families and close friends are examples of primary groups
- People in a secondary group interact on a less personal level than in a primary group.
- The distinction between primary and secondary groups was originally proposed by Charles Horton Cooley.
- This family from the 1970s would be an example of a primary group.
-
Productivity within Trophic Levels
- For example, in the English Channel ecosystem, the primary producers account for a biomass of 4 g/m2 (grams per meter squared), while the primary consumers exhibit a biomass of 21 g/m2.
- The rate at which photosynthetic primary producers incorporate energy from the sun is called gross primary productivity.
- Net primary productivity is the energy that remains in the primary producers after accounting for the organisms' respiration and heat loss.
- The net productivity is then available to the primary consumers at the next trophic level.
- Explain the concept of primary production and distinguish between gross primary production and net primary production
-
Primary and Secondary Metabolites
- Primary and secondary metabolites are often used in industrial microbiology for the production of food, amino acids, and antibiotics.
- Metabolites can be categorized into both primary and secondary metabolites.
- Primary metabolites are involved in growth, development, and reproduction of the organism.
- Examples of primary metabolites include alcohols such as ethanol, lactic acid, and certain amino acids.
- Another example of a primary metabolite commonly used in industrial microbiology includes citric acid.
-
Abiotic Factors Influencing Plant Growth
- Temperature and moisture are important influences on plant production (primary productivity) and the amount of organic matter available as food (net primary productivity).
- Almost all life on earth is directly or indirectly reliant on primary production.
- The organisms responsible for primary production, known as primary producers or autotrophs, form the base of the food chain.
- Net primary productivity is an estimation of all of the organic matter available as food.
- The magnitude and distribution of global primary production varies between biomes.
-
The Discount Rate
- The Fed offers three discount window programs to depository institutions: primary credit, secondary credit, and seasonal credit, each with its own interest rate.
- Under the primary credit program, loans are extended for a very short term (usually overnight) to depository institutions in generally sound financial condition.
- The discount rate charged for primary credit (the primary credit rate) is set above the usual level of short-term market interest rates.
- (Because primary credit is the Federal Reserve's main discount window program, the Federal Reserve, at times, uses the term "discount rate" to mean the primary credit rate. ) The discount rate on secondary credit is above the rate on primary credit.
- Describe the Fed's primary credit, secondary credit, and seasonal credit lending programs
-
Child Socialization
- Primary and secondary socialization are two forms of socialization that are particularly important for children.
- These two types are known as primary and secondary socialization.
- Primary socialization in sociology is the acceptance and learning of a set of norms and values established through the process of socialization.
- Primary socialization for a child is very important because it sets the groundwork for all future socialization.
- Justify the importance of socialization for children, in terms of both primary and secondary socialization
