Animal Behavior and Plant Responses

The video tutorial covers the behavior of animals and the responses of plants to various stimuli. It explains how animals exhibit behaviors controlled by the nervous and endocrine systems, including instincts and learned behaviors. The video also discusses plant responses, such as tropisms and turgor movements, which occur in reaction to environmental factors like light and gravity.

Which two systems control animal behavior?

• Skeletal and integumentary systems

• Circulatory and muscular systems

• Digestive and respiratory systems

• Nervous and endocrine systems

What is a reflex in animals?

• A learned behavior

• A rapid, involuntary response

• A behavior controlled by the brain

• A behavior that requires practice

Which of the following is an example of taxis in animals?

• A dog learning to sit

• A bird migrating south

• A moth flying towards a light

• A spider spinning a web

What is required for an animal to learn a new behavior?

• A large body size

• A complex digestive system

• A simple nervous system

• A strong motivation and a developed brain

Which animal is known for its ability to learn simple sign language?

• Elephant

• Chimpanzee

• Dolphin

• Parrot

What is phototropism in plants?

• Growth towards gravity

• Growth towards light

• Rapid movement in response to touch

• Opening and closing of stomata

How do plants respond to gravity?

• By closing their leaves

• By growing roots downward and stems upward

• By growing away from water

• By growing towards light

What causes the rapid closing of a Venus flytrap?

• Growth hormones

• Temperature changes

• Turgor pressure changes

• Light exposure

What is the main reason for the rapid movement of Mimosa pudica (sensitive plant)?

• Growth towards light

• Nutrient absorption

• Turgor pressure changes

• Temperature changes

How do plants like Christmas cactus adjust their flowering time?

• By altering their nutrient absorption

• By adjusting to different light durations

• By changing their water intake

• By modifying their root growth
