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

Explicación

Pregunta 12 de 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
