What is a specialized structure or adaptation?
This is the next thing that happens when an animal senses a change in its environment.
What is the brain processes information?
A frog sees an insect and quickly moves its tongue toward it. This sequence best explains what happened:
A. pond-->frog-->insect
B. environment-->sense receptors-->brain-->behavior
C. pond-->brain-->frog-->insect-->behavior
What is B. environment-->sense receptors-->brain-->behavior?
This is the best example of an internal structure helping an animal survive:
A. A deer uses its legs to run from a predator.
B. A dog uses its lungs to take in oxygen.
C. A hawk uses its talons to catch prey.
D. A turtle uses its shell for protection.
What is B. a dog uses its lungs to take in oxygen?
