Brainstorm a list of stimuli External Internal

What is the difference between a stimulus & a response?

Stimulus: an action or condition that provokes a response. (Cause) Response: Any behavior of a living organism that results from an external or internal stimulus. (Effect)

Internal Stimulus: A signal that comes from within an organism.

Examples: Thirst Adrenaline Blood sugar levels Pathogens

Hunger Oxygen
Toxins

External Stimulus: A signal that originates from outside of an organism & causes a response within the organism. Examples: Touch Pressure Heat

Learned Response: This is a behavior/response that is learned by observation or training.

Examples: Bear cub taught to fish (hunger)

Innate Response: Instinct This is a behavior/response that is not taught. It is a natural automatic response.

Migrate: to move to another area in order to increase the chance for survival or survival of the species.

Fight or Flight: The response to an organisms acute stress or danger. The response could be fight or flight.
Hormones are released that stimulate the heart, raise blood pressure, constricts small blood vessels, & releases sugar stored in the liver. It relaxes some involuntary muscles & contracts others.

Tropism: The turning or bending movement of a living organism or part toward or away from an external stimulus
Light = Phototropism Gravity = Geotropism Touch = Thigmotropism Heat = Thermotropism
+ (Positive) = Toward the stimulus - (Negative) = Away from stimulus

Homeostasis:
Refers to the bodys ability to regulate its body in response to changing outside elements. The tendency of an organism or cell to maintain a balanced state so as to maintain health and functioning.

 How does changing an external stimulus affect how an organism will respond?
In what ways does an organisms body respond to maintain homeostasis?

How do organisms respond internally when unknown pathogens invade the body?

How do you think phototropism relates to a plants chance for survival?

Phototropism is a response by plants that promotes maximum photosynthesis, & therefore plant growth & optimal overall plant health. Without this response, many plants would die & never reproduce.

What is the difference between phototropism & photosynthesis? Phototropism is the response of plants to light (usually +) that help them to collect sunlight for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of plants to create food energy from sunlight energy.

Fight or Flight? Check which response you think is expressed in each part of the table.
Organisms response to threat Fight Flight response response

Zebra spots a lion sprinting toward him & he bolts A rat sees a human A rat is cornered by a human A possum threatened & plays dead A dog attacking the mailman A male Betta fish protecting his nest

Fight/Flight Response:
An organisms primitive, automatic, inborn response that prepare the body to fight or flee from perceived attack, harm or threat to its survival. This is a survival instrinct.

What is the role of homeostasis in an organism? All organisms require an exact & unique set of environmental conditions to live in.
Homeostasis (means equilibrium) is the ability to allow organisms to function properly.

What is the role of homeostasis in an organism?

Homeostasis is needed when there are environmental changes that set the organism out of its conditions in order to maintain stability.
Some environmental changes External factors: Heat, light, temp. Internal factors: Lack of water

What is the role of homeostasis in an organism?

Examples: If you are hot, then you sweat If you are cold, then you shiver If you are exercising, then you breathe faster to feed more oxygen to your muscles.

Stimulus & Response Classify each part of the scenario for stimulus or response. Underline the stimulus in red Underline the response in green

Stimulus & Response

You touch something hot, so you move your hand away. Your dont drink enough water, you become thirsty. A plant lacks water & light, so it becomes wilted. You eat spoiled food, so you get sick

Stimulus & Response

If in a stressful situation, then you will fight for survival or flee for survival. If you consume too much liquid, then you have to urinate frequently.

If you are hungry, then you eat.

Lack of food, water, or shelter, then some animals migrate
