Answer:
The four-letter word which speaks to the ability of an organism to modify its behavior or actions to external stimuli is <u>Move.</u>
Explanation:
Movement gives organisms the ability to move away from or towards an external stimulus depending on whether it is a detrimental stimulus or a favourable one.
Examples of stimuli are:
- Light: All organisms respond to the presence of light. Some stay away from it and remain at sleep until the sun goes down. They are called nocturnal. Others gravitate towards it. Plants always grow towards light.
- Temperature: Some organisms favour cold environments, other the temperate parts of the earth
- Sound: The sound of a carnivorous animal such as the lion will put a deer to flight. The sound of a mother hen calling out to her chicks will attract them to her.

Acorns of bur, pin and red oaks can be planted in fall or stratified seed can be sown in spring. When planting acorns, place the seeds one-half to one inch deep. Choose a planting site where the oak seedlings can receive good care for one to two years before they are transplanted to their permanent locations.
A fomite is a non-moving object responsible for the indirect transmission of disease.
Fomites are inanimate objects involved in the indirect contact transmission of pathogens. These objects include a whole range of items mostly found in indoor environments.
When pathogens such as viruses and bacteria come in contact with these objects through various human and animal activities such as sneezing or coughing, use of toilets etc; these pathogens remain active on these objects and can then cause disease when others come in contact with these objects.
<h3>How do fomites transmit infectious agents?</h3>
Some diseases are more likely to be transmitted by pathogens than others. However, several factors can influence whether bacteria on carriers are successfully transferred to humans.
- type of bacteria or virus on the carrier
- number of bacteria or viruses leading to infection
- room temperature
- room humidity
- carrier porosity.
Sneezing and coughing can transfer bacteria to surfaces through droplets released by the sneeze or cough itself, or by bacteria from a sneeze or cough getting on the hands and coming into contact with a bacterial carrier.

Answer: C. Chagas disease
Explanation:
Xenodiagnosis is a method of diagnosis and detection of the microorganism responsible for infecting the tissues of the body.
Chagas disease is a potentially life threatening disease. It is caused by the protozoan parasite called as Trypanosoma cruzi. It is transmitted to people through the feces of insects. This disease is common in South and Central America and in Mexico. The xenodiagnosis is used to detect the parasite responsible for the Chagas disease.
