Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.37 Sensing, Processing and Responding skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which revision would make a diagram of a salamander sensing and responding scientifically accurate? "Identify the stimulus detector in this situation.,A. Show an unrelated sense organ that the organism does not use for this stimulus | B. Show the response happening before the stimulus | C. Leave out the stimulus and only show the final movement | D. Show a dry surface as the stimulus

Solution & Explanation:and the response: moves toward a damp place,D. Show a dry surface as the stimulus

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which revision would make a diagram of an earthworm sensing and responding scientifically accurate? Identify the stimulus detector in this situation.

AShow an unrelated sense organ that the organism does not use for this stimulus

BShow the response happening before the stimulus

CShow bright light on its skin as the stimulus, the skin detecting the light, nerves/brain processing it, and the response: moves back into dark soil

DLeave out the stimulus and only show the final movement

Solution & Explanation:A useful diagram must connect the environmental stimulus, the correct sensing structure, processing, and a matching response.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which revision would make a diagram of a deer sensing and responding scientifically accurate? "Identify the stimulus detector in this situation.,A. Show an unrelated sense organ that the organism does not use for this stimulus | B. Show smoke nearby as the stimulus

Solution & Explanation:and the response: moves away from the smell | C. Show the response happening before the stimulus | D. Leave out the stimulus and only show the final movement,B. Show smoke nearby as the stimulus
