Answer:

The Aplysia withdrawing it's gills is demonstrating a gill and siphon withdrawal reflex (GSWR) phenomenon

Explanation:

The hill and siphon withdrawal reflex (GSWR) is involuntary and a defensive reflex. This reflex causes delicate siphon and gill to be retracted when an animal is disturbed.

A two-component reflex is triggered when weak or moderate stimulus is applied to a siphon or the mantle shelf. These two components consist of two reflex acts, the siphon-withdrawal reflex and the gill-withdrawal reflex. Together they often form a reflex pattern with short latency that protects the animals gill and siphon to potentially threatening stimuli.

How is animal testing bad for the environment?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Testing facilities that engage in animal testing dispose of both animals and dangerous chemicals, food waste, and a variety of supplies used during the testing process. Not to mention, animal testing has a heavy impact on water and air quality. Additionally, animal testing is cruel and ineffective. Animals don't get many of the diseases that humans do. For example, major types of heart disease, many types of cancer, HIV, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia. 100 million animals are killed each year due to animal testing.
