Animal Sensory Systems starts at 7 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Animal Sensory Systems.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11
Describe how animals use sensory adaptation to survive in changing environments.
Describe how animals use their sensory systems to avoid predators.
Describe how mechanoreceptors in the skin help animals respond to their environment.
Describe the difference between rods and cones in the vertebrate eye.
Describe the main function of chemoreceptors in animals.
Describe the process of phototransduction in animal eyes.
Explain how the lateral line system in fish works.
Explain how thermoreceptors help animals survive in their environment.
Explain the importance of sensory integration in animal behavior.
Explain the role of pheromones in animal communication.
Explain why some nocturnal animals have a tapetum lucidum in their eyes.
A certain species of migratory bird is able to navigate during cloudy nights when stars are not visible. Propose a hypothesis for which sensory system might be involved and justify your reasoning based on known animal sensory mechanisms.
Describe the process by which olfactory receptors in the nasal cavity transduce chemical signals into nerve impulses.
Explain how echolocation in bats is an example of convergent evolution, and name another animal group that has independently evolved this ability.
