Answer:

Sensory Adaption

Explanation:

Stimuli, both external and internal, are sensed with the help of sensory receptors. These sensory receptors sense the change in internal or external conditions called stimuli and send the information to the central nervous system. The sensory information is processed and interpreted in the central nervous system which in turn makes a person aware of the sensed stimuli.

However, the constant presence of the same stimulus does not trigger the firing of the action potential as it occurred during the first few encounters. This is called sensory adaption. For example, chirping of birds is apparent when a person enters the countryside but becomes less apparent after a few days due to sensory adaption of ears.

The domain that includes organisms with true nuclei and membrane-bound organelles is called *

Hunter-Best [27]

Eukarya. Eukaryotes are the only organisms that have true nuclei and membrane-bound organelles, though some bacteria have a pseudo-nuclei.
The reason why only eukaryotes have true nuclei and membrane-bound organelles is because only eukaryotes have figured out how to create so much energy through the mitochondria, which is required for high compartmentalization.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

An individual can be placed or classified into a particular species depending on the concept a scientist has considered,

The three most prominent are Biological, morphological and phylogenetic species concept.

1. Biological species concept- Individuals that can interbreed naturally are placed into the same species. Therefore, Biological species concept, not applicable for extinct species

2. Morphological - Relies on similarities in structure

This species concept places individuals having similar body structures into the same species. It can be easily applied to asexual and extinct species.

3. Phylogenetic - Based on evolutionary history

Species are classified according to a common ancestor.

4. Morphological and Phylogenetic

Accommodates asexual reproduction

Species acceptance criteria can be subjective

5. Morphological, Phylogenetic, and Biological

Used by scientists in classification

All the three concepts are used for classification.

According to the text, what happens when organisms cannot adapt to changes in their environment?

Tema [17]

Answer:

<em>The correct options are A) They move to another environment.</em>

<em>B) They risk dying out.</em>

Explanation:

According to natural selection, only those organisms are able to live and survive in an environment which can adapt to the changes in an environment. Such organisms reproduce and pass on their characteristics to their offsprings.

Organisms which are not able to adapt to changes in an environment either migrate to other places or die as they are not able to survive by the changes being made.
