Ch 27

Front 1

The adaptive nature of behavior can be seen in the relationship between blank and blank

Back 1

stimulus and response

Front 2

type of information that has potential to make an organism change its behavior

Back 2

stimulus

Front 3

tell him animal what is occurring in his own body

Back 3

internal stimulus

Front 4

given animal information about it surroundings example sound of a predator

Back 4

external stimuli

Front 5

animals to detect information with specialized cells lettuce incentive to changes in specific kind of physical and chemical stimuli decent three sales me to text things such as

Back 5

light sound chemicals

Front 6

adrenal glands release of hormones called epinephrine causes many other systems in your body to react in what is known as blank

Back 6

fight or flight response

Front 7

what is the hormone release in adrenal gland's called

Back 7

epinephrine

Front 8

where are the adrenal gland

Back 8

The kidneys

Front 9

The maintenance of constant internal condition

Back 9

homeostasis

Front 10

temperature receptors cause A lizard to move to a sunnier spot if it is too cold or sunny spot if it becomes too warm this is an example of

Back 10

homeostasis response to stimuli

Front 11

some behaviors can be triggered by blank

Back 11

A single stimulus

Front 12

hormones released as the day changes may make the animal more likely to respond to another external stimulus such as the mating display

Back 12

h

Front 13

blank is a flat of bright red skin under the lizards to use for meeting

Back 13

dewlap

Front 14

environmental changes are predictable especially those that occur daily monthly or yearly

Back 14

g

Front 15

The pattern of activity and sleep is called blank

Back 15

Circadian rhythm

Front 16

behavior in which an animal avoids cold winter temperatures by entering into a dormant state

Back 16

hibernation

Front 17

hibernating animals prepare for winter by eating large amounts of food and Blake

Back 17

storing it as fat

Front 18

this type of behavior about animals to avoid harsh conditions in their home range for part of the year

Back 18

migration

Front 19

is set in motion by a variety of internal and Extertal stimuli

Back 19

migration

Front 20

complex is born behavior

Back 20

instinct

Front 21

instinctive behaviors are characterized as being blank and blank

Back 21

innate and relatively Unflexible

Front 22

behavior form correctly the first time in animal tries it even with the animal has never been exposed to the stimulus that triggers the behavior especially common in newborns

Back 22

innate behavior

Front 23

maybe innate behaviors are triggered by a simple signals releasers can be any kind of stimulus a visual sign a sound a suit or a touch

Back 23

b

Front 24

involves the strengthening of nerve pathways

Back 24

Learning

Front 25

most animal behaviors are influenced by learning and experience

Back 25

h

Front 26

rapid and irreversible learning process that only occurs during the short time and animals life during this period an animal might learn to identify its parents siblings offspring in characteristics of its own species or a place it was born

Back 26

imprinting

Front 27

animals that are able to learn modify or change their behavior to better adapt to new situations

Back 27

The ability to learn can give animals and edge in survival and reproduction allowing them to pass on jeans on to future generations

Front 28

it will associate a specific location with its consequences example birds not eating bugs with markings they know to be nasty

Back 28

associative learning

Front 29

A way to modify an animals behavior in response to a certain stimuli

Back 29

conditioning

Front 30

process in which an animal words to associate a previously neutral stimulus with the behavior that was once triggered by a different stimulus example the dog in the bell

Back 30

classical conditioning

Front 31

process in which the likelihood of a specific behavior is increased by reinforcement example of the Rat

Back 31

operant conditioning

Front 32

from an evolutionary standpoint the most important benefits of a behavior include blink and blank

Back 32

increased survivorship and reproduction rates

Front 33

type of behavioral cost; every animal behavior uses up ATP/running away from a predator

Back 33

Energy cost

Front 34

behavioral costs; every animal behavior takes time/the defending territory instead of eating

Back 34

opportunity cost

Front 35

Behavioral cost

many behaviors expose an individual to possible injury/foraging for food

Back 35

Risk cost

Front 36

it is difficult to determine if animals make conscious decisions about their actions

Back 36

n

Front 37

The benefit of territorial behavior is the ability to control the resources within the animals territory such as food &mates

Back 37

n

Front 38

The benefits of foraging are measured in the amount of energy ganed /The costs of foraging include the energy used to search for and eat the food; the risk of being captured by a predator ; and the loss of time to spend on other activities

Back 38

h

Front 39

benefits of living in a social group

Back 39

improved foraging reduced chance of predation having more eyes and ears in the group

Hint 39

benefits of living in a social group

Front 40

cost of living in a social group

Back 40

increased competition conflicts and increased visibility

Front 41

Communication in social groups can be visible sounds touch and chemicals

Back 41

b

Front 42

chemicals released by an animal that affect the behavior of individuals

Back 42

pheromones

Front 43

involves behaviors that improve the fitness of both individuals

Back 43

cooperation

Front 44

behaviors in which individuals help other group members with the expectation that they will be held in return

Back 44

reciprocity

Front 45

behavior in which an animal reduces his own fitness to help members of a group

Back 45

altruism

Front 46

social insects include blank blank and blank

Back 46

bees and wasps ants

Front 47

mental process of knowing through perception or reasoning

Back 47

cognition

Front 48

there is a really complex problem-solving behavior in these animals; they have demonstrated insight

Back 48

primates dolphins crows ravens and jays

Front 49

animals be recognized as most intelligent often have these two things

Back 49

large brain /more neurons may mean more interconnections and greater opportunities for complex behaviors

2- Live in complex social groups/form close bonds within their group
