Animal Senses
How do animals get information from their environment?
Through their senses.
How do plants get information from their environment?
Through their senses?
In order to see, light has to first got to what?
Whatever is being looked at.
Why can plants/ animals survive in different environments?
They have different structures.
This means to stay alive.
Survive
What is the main reason that humans/animals/plants use their senses?
To survive.
Are plant senses the same as animal senses?
No, they don't have a brain.
Can an animal see if there is no light?
No
What is an 'adaptation' that allows desert plants to survive in such an extreme environment?
thick stems that hold water, small leaves so they lose less water, long stems to find water, thorns to protect from other animals
Another word for proof.
Evidence
True/ False: All structures have the same function.
False
Give an example of a plant stimulus/ information from the environment.
Light, water, gravity
What is the function of the optic nerve?
To transfer information from the light receptors to the brain.
What are 3 things all plants need to survive?
Water, Air, Sun, Nutrients (often from soil)
A structure that responds to information coming from the environment.
Receptor
Are all animal senses the same? Why or why not?
No they aren't. Animal senses depend on the structures of their body and what they need to survive.
What is reproduction?
Creating more
Explain the difference between high-sensitivity and low-sensitivity light receptors.
High sensitivity light receptors allow animals to see better at night; low sensitivity light receptors allow animals to see better during the day.
The process in which plants turn sunlight into food
Photosynthesis
Environment
All living and nonliving things in an area.
How does a brain recognize what it is sensing?
Memories
What is an example of how a plant responds to stimulus in its environment?
Ex: Light reaches the leaf cells, and they send information to the stem. The stem then bends towards the light.
Explain the process that allows animals to see.
Light goes to an object, then reflects off of the object and goes to the eye. It enters the pupil and goes to the light receptors. The light receptors respond by sending the information to the brain. The brain creates an image and compares it to other memories to make sense of it.
What is one way water plants get light?
They have big leaves that float on the surface.
They have thin leaves that can absorb the little amount of sun that makes it through the water.
Function
What something does
