Isn't this Chem?
a non metal and a metal
a metal transfers electrons to the non metal
the non metal gains electrons and becomes an anion (a negatively charges ion)
and the metal loses electrons and becomes a cation (a positively charged ion)
If we were to differentiate anthroprocentric and biocentric views of the environment you could say that anthroprocentric is more holistic than biocentric. They consider the importance of the environment to human beings. Biocentric sees humans as an individual part of the environment.
Also Biocentric views tend to focus more on biotic factors (living things) and anthroprocentric veer towards the abiotic factors (non-living things).
The part of the brain that performs that function is the hypothalamus.
