They also documented their observations of the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Northwest. Lewis and Clark gave descriptions of at least 178 plants and 122 animals. Among these was the black-tailed prairie dog which the explorers described as a "barking squirrel." The explorers sent this specimen to President Jefferson to show some concrete evidence of their discoveries.

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Claim 2: Earthworms can respond to light.

Explanation:

Yes, earthworms do not have eyes. However, sensory organs of animals isn't restricted to the eyes alone. Other sensory organs include, ears for hearing, nose for smelling and so on. In terms of response to light, the eyes as a sense organ comes into play. However, the skin is also a sense organ which has the ability to feel the effect of a phenomenon such as as heat or respond to touch. Because light produces heat, earthworms can respond to light through their skin. With their skin they can measure the intensity of light falling in them and adjust depending on their current body temperature.

Therefore, earthworms can respond to light with their skin.
