Answer:
fixed action pattern, key stimulus; key stimulus, fixed action pattern
Explanation:
- An innate behavior which specific to a species and is highly stereotyped is termed as a fixed action pattern.
- This behavior occurs due to a neuronal network that is hard-wired in the species and the response is said to be generated following a key stimulus.
- A key stimulus is the one that generates a fixed action pattern and this is also called a releaser.
- A key stimulus can be in the form of shape, sound, color, or a combination of these.
- In this case, the red spot is a stimulus for the chicks which causes them to peck at their parent's bill, and hence, the red spot is a key stimulus, and pecking of the chicks is a fixed action pattern.
- The parents regurgitate the food only when the chicks peck at their bills, so pecking is a key stimulus for the parents which causes them to regurgitate the food which is a fixed action pattern.
It's where Charles wrote his book
Which abiotic factor most likely controls where the plants live in this environment ?
Oxygen levels for aquatic animals
Oxygen from the air and oxygen produced by aquatic plants dissolves in water. Without this, aquatic animals would suffocate and die. Healthy lakes and rivers have high levels of oxygen, and polluted waters often have low levels of oxygen. This pollution means that only certain species can survive there such as sludgeworms. These are bioindicator species because their presence or absence informs us about the condition of the habitat.
Carbon dioxide levels for plants
Carbon dioxide is a reactant in photosynthesis which means plants need it to survive. Areas with higher levels of carbon dioxide are more likely to have healthy plants growing. Farmers often release carbon dioxide within their greenhouses to maximise their crop yield. Woodlands often have higher carbon dioxide levels than open grassland, so many plants living in open areas have evolved mechanisms to overcome a shortage of carbon dioxide.
