Unit 8: Ecology

ENE-3.D: Explain how the behavioral and/or physiological response of an organism is related to changes in the internal or external environment.

ENE-3.D.1: Organisms respond to changes in their environment through behavioral and physiological mechanisms.
Illustrative examples:
- Photoperiodism and phototropism in plants
- Taxis and kinesis in animals
- Nocturnal and diurnal activity

Task: Explain how the behavioral and/or physiological response of an organism is related to changes in the internal or external environment.



Answer :

Final answer:

Organisms adapt through behavioral and physiological responses to internal and external changes in their environment to ensure survival.


Explanation:

Behavioral and physiological responses of organisms to changes in internal or external environments are crucial for survival. For example, photoperiodism and phototropism in plants exhibit responses to changes in light conditions. Animals display responses like taxis (movement towards or away from a stimulus) and kinesis (non-directional response) for survival. Nocturnal and diurnal activity patterns in organisms are also shaped by environmental changes.
