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

You conduct an experiment in the lab to determine the adaptation rate of different touch receptors. Based on the data shown here, what can you conclude? (the top trace for each receptor is the stimulus and the bottom trace for each receptor is the receptor response) ||||| Receptor A Receptor B ||||||||||||—–—– Receptor A is slow adapting and receptor B is slow adapting Receptor A is fast adapting and receptor B is fast adapting Receptor A is fast adapting and receptor B is slow adapting Receptor A is slow adapting and receptor B is fast adapting
A rabbit’s eyes are on the sides of its head instead of in front. Would you expect rabbits to have many cells with binocular receptive fields—that is, cells that respond to both eyes? Why or why not?

When two eyes were made to innervate the same tectum in frogs, the two eyes did not project in a topographic manner. each eye innervated mutually exclusive stripes of tectum. both eyes projected evenly over the entire tectum. two separate visual fields, one from each eye, were projected onto each half of the tectum.
Rods and cones differ in how they connect to bipolar cells and eventually to ganglion cells. The major difference is that many cones converge onto one ganglion cell many cones converge onto one bipolar cell many rods converge onto one bipolar cell one rod reaches one bipolar cell
