The APsolute Recap: Biology Edition - Responses to the Environment
03/31/21 • 8 min
What does the fox say? ALOT! Each yip, growl, howl and cry is a response to a stimulus in its environment and aids in the fox’s survival and overall reproductive success. (0:30) Survive long enough to pass on those genes and use every trick in your biological power to do so (1:39). Melanie recAPs a variety of examples ranging from phototropism (2:13) and shark blood detection (4:30) to honeybees (5:56).
The Question of the Day asks (7:53) This is the state animals enter when they lower their metabolic rate in summer months.
