Biology

satela [25.4K]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

The tropical rainforest is made up of a dense network of trees, shrubs and vegetation.

This zone on earth is the most biodiverse on the earth surface. It receives the highest insolation of all places on earth and so radiant energy here is very high.

  • Due to this, the net productivity is very high.
  • This implies that a wide range of food is available to support the diverse organisms.
  • Also, the wet and dry seasons provides a very conducive weather for most organisms to survive.

Tundra and deserts have low precipitation and the conditions are very harsh.

An animal trainer is conditioning an elephant to startle at the sound of a trombone. Every time she plays the trombone, she then
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D, that is, the elephant will not react.

Explanation:

A kind of behavior that comprises a stimulus-response, which is distinct from the natural one is termed as conditioning. It is a kind of learned behavior. It is a kind of learning where the efficacy of stimulus enhances while provoking a response. When the presentation of two stimuli is done at a suitable time and with appropriate intensity, then one of them will be able to provoke a response that resembles the other one.  

In the given case, the mouse and the trombone are termed as unconditioned and conditioned stimuli. When a conditioned stimulus is demonstrated in a context of classical conditioning, it will result in the non-predication of the coming unconditioned stimulus. The conditioned response will get to cease slowly and will eliminate the conditioned fear. Thus, in the given case, the elephant will fail to react towards the trombone subsequently.
