It is important because it breaks down the food eaten by the animals into nutrients which are needed for their bodies to function well. Not only it is important to animals but also to humans. <span>Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before the blood absorbs them and carries them to cells throughout the body.</span>

When a person has linked a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that now the neutral stimulus triggers the conditioned response, <u>acquisition</u> has occurred.
<u>Explanation:</u>
A trigger that in the beginning causes no specific answer other than attention concentration is understood as "a neutral stimulus". In operant conditioning the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus when used in combined way with an unconditioned stimulus.
Now let us say, for instance, you need to take your child to the pediatrician for a shot. The pediatrist hits a buzzer before the shot to call her nurse to come in and help her conduct the vaccine. Here the buzzer's noise is the neutral stimulus, as it generates no reaction from the infant, but the child knows that.
Answer: The quantity of water in the beaker will reduce. The cell will increase size.
Explanation: There is difference in water concentration between the cell and the beaker, therefore water will move from the beaker into the cell causing the cell to expand and the quantity of water in the beaker to decrease. There will be movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration (beaker) to an area of low water concentration (the cell) through a selectively permeable cell membrane. The aim of this is to create an equilibrium between the water concentration in the cell and that in the beaker.
They both can be traced back millions of years ago
