Klinokinesis
Meaning and example
Rate of change of movement proportion to the intensity of stimulus
Eg.dendrodoelum lacteum,flatworm,with light
Klinotaxis
Meaning and eg
Not being able to discriminate the source of stimuli
Eg. Planaria towards food
Blow fly larva toward light
Earthworm
EuglenaOrient the body by comparing stimuli
And by bending rt and lt
Klinotaxis
Which taxes is shown by organism having sensory receptors but no sense organ
Klinotaxis
Turning movement of bilateral org in st line towards the source of stimuli
Tropotaxis
Arculus
Planaria
Grayling butterfly’s response toward sun by turning to the position where both eye are eq stimulated
Tropotaxis
Visit of honeybee is
Telotaxis
Esma duita stimuli hunxa ; food and light
But honeybee only show movement in response to light and sit on any flower they find
Light compass response
Menotaxis
Response at constant angle
Honey bee and homing ants show
Menotaxis (light compass response)
Ant change their direction wrt the position of sun
Light direction , landmarks, trail of chemical etc are stimuli for which taxes
Mnemotaxis
Hunting wasps shows
Mnemotaxis
@hunting=eklai example
Bilaterally symmetrical org shows
A.tropotaxis
B.telotaxis
Both
.leadership and dominance diff
Leadership=initiate,stabilize,integrate
Dominance=aggression and threat
Fruit flies shows
A. Positive phototaxis
B.negative photo
Positive
Like euglena
Response of euglena exposed to
A.glucose or weak acid?
B.salt or strong acid?
A.positive
B.negative
Ephyra larva , amoeba , planaria larva shows
A.positive
B. Negative geo
Ephyra[jellyfish]=negative,moves to bottom of sea
Amoeba and planaria = positive moves towards surface
Galvanotaxis meaning
Electric current stimuli
Paramecium moves towards
A. A cathode
B. Anode
Cathode
Positive and negative rheotaxis eg
A. Birds
B. Planaria
N=planaria
P=birds
