22. What is a response?

23. What occurs in response to the stimuli (the effect).

24. What is homeostasis?

25. The body's ability to maintain a stable balanced state of healthy function.

26. What are some internal stimuli for the response “vomit”?

27. Food poisoning, Illness, feeling nervous or scared, eating too much, pregnancy, and motion sickness are some reasons.

28. What is another name for your body’s “thermostat”?

29. The hypothalamus is in the center of the brain and acts as the body’s thermostat.

30. What is a pyrogen?

31. Pyrogens are fever-producing substances that usually come from a source outside the body such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, drugs, and toxins. Examples of pyrogens are colds, the flu, tonsillitis, ear infections, bronchitis, and tetanus.

32. What is a tropism?

33. The way a plant grows in response to a stimuli.

47. Growth in response to water

48. Draw hydrotropism, complete with arrows for positive and negative hydrotropism.

49. Roots exhibit positive hydrotropism.

50. What is the stimulus for transpiration?

51. Water – an internal stimulus.

52. What is torpor?

53. Torpor - deep sleep, but usually part of the day. Time of sleep depends on animal.

54. What is estivation?

55. Estivation – Sleep to escape environment. Body slows down to not need food/water. Reptiles are a good example.
