1

Check all that are included in the famous Fry paradigm

Wähle eine oder mehr der folgenden:

  • Animal behavior is distinct from, but related to, physiology

  • Physiological and behavioral traits are an expression of the continuous relationship between organism and environment

  • Animal physiology effects behavior by acting on the environment

  • Evolution is driven by natural selection

Erklärung

Frage 11 von 27

1

Wähle von der Aufklappliste, um den Text zu vervollständigen.

Integrated physiological responses only have meaning if interpreted respective of ( animal activity, animal morphology, plant morphology ) within its environment.

Erklärung

Frage 12 von 27

1

Label the responses to environmental change

: Entities that irreversibly destroy integration resulting in death
: Entities that influence molecular activation, and set the rate or pace of metabolism and development
: Entities that interfere with delivery or removal of metabolites thus limiting metabolic performance, locomotion and distribution
: Entities that, when perturbed, must be regulated through expenditure of metabolic energy diverted from other physiological processes
: Entities that alter physiological profiles in time resulting in attraction or avoidance reactions that guide the movements of an organism
