Science Flashcards
The height a wave measured from the baseline (still water line) to the waves peak
Amplitude
Details about an environment that an animal can sense
Information (life science)
The purpose of a structure to help an organism survive,grow,or reproduce
Function (life science)
A series of steps that allows sensed information to result in an appropriate response
Information processing
A behavior that occurs without having to learn it (instinct,reflex)
Innate behavior
A behavior often complex that an animal performs without being taught (hibernation)
Instinct
A behavior that requires experience and memory
Learned behavior
To detect information about an environment by using external structures containing receptors specialized to receive particular types of information
Sense
A way organisms receive information about their environments( sense of smell)
Sense
A simple automatic response to something that happens
Reflex

Response
a substructure in the sensory struvture that receives infromation about an environment and sends it to an animals brain
sensory receptor
a structure that helps an organism gather infromation about its environment
sensory structure
a part of the animals body that serves a specific purpose
structure(life science)
a type of motion that occurs when matter moves quickly back and forth or up and down in place
