Which of the following provides the most accurate example of active sensing being used by an animal? Male moths use paired antenna to track the pheronome trail of a female moth Electric fish detect the electric field of other nearby electric fish Cats have a tapetum that enhances their night vision for hunting prey in the dark Bats use echolocation to hunt flying insects at night

Distinguish between static and dynamic equilibrium. The sense of equilibrium (balance) is really two senses— static equilibrium and dynamic equilibrium—that come from different sensory organs. The organs of static equilibrium (stat′ik e″kwı˘-lib′re-um) sense the position of the head, maintaining balance, stability and posture when the head and body are still. When the head and body suddenly move or rotate, the organs of dynamic equilibrium (di-nam′ik e″kwı˘- lib′re-um) detect such motion and aid in maintaining balance.
