A rat deprived of food will learn a new response even if it is given only a nonnutritive, saccharine-sweetened substance after p

Answer: The drive theory of motivation.

Explanation:

The drive threory of motivation is based on the principle that organisms have certain psycological or physiological needs (in this case, hunger). When those needs are not satisfied, a tension in the organism is produced, and with it a drive to seek the satisfaction of that need.

Because the substance the rat recieves is nonnutritive (it doesn't reduce the rat's hunger), we can clearly see that the rat isn't performing the response because of this drive, seeking for the satisfaction of its hunger, but is motivated by another feeling. Therefore, this observation is problematic for the drive theory of motivation.

Organisms may play only one role in an ecosystem true or false
anyanavicka [17]
This is false. Organisms may play several important roles in an ecosystem. Consider for example and ocean shore environment occupied by a particular species of crab. The crabs are scavengers and eat any organic matter they encounter. They therefore play an important role in the cycling of nutrients in the ecosystem. The crabs are however also an important source of food for a range of other species occupying the same habitat, including octopi, certain fishes and sea otters. Therefore, the crabs are an important part of the food web in the ecosystem. Many species similarly occupy multiple important roles in an ecosystem.

What plane would you make if you divided a thanksgiving turkey into equal right and left halves?
nasty-shy [4]
<span>In anatomical terms, this plane would be known as the midsaggital plane. This plane bisects the body of the organism along its midline, yielding two symmetrical halves. Since such a plan would run right along the ribcage of the turkey, dividing it as such, it would be the accurate anatomical descriptor for such a division.</span>

Here, in the question the acid tolerant plant species is favored over the other phenotype.

Hence, the correct answer is option D
