Signals --> Behavior --> Ecology

Question 1

Cell Signaling

Answer 1

operation of cells, tissues, and organ systems: cooordination/integration of external, inter/intracellular signals –> respond to environmental stimuli with appropriate behaviors

Question 2

External signals from environment

Answer 2

can altar organism’s physiology/behavior: modulating nervous system activity

Question 3

ecology

Answer 3

study of interactions between organisms and their environment

Question 4

Environmental signals

Answer 4

chemical; visual signals (coloration); auditory (alarm/mating calls); tactile (physical interaction); electrical (generating electric fields)

Question 5

Complex behaviors

Answer 5

signal-based sensory processing + motor control

Question 6

Chemotaxis

Answer 6

movement in response to chemicals in the local environment

Question 7

ecological interactions

Answer 7

affect the distribution.abundance/evolution of populations of organisms
