Answer to Problem 1E

Correct answer: If you put your hand on a red-hot piece of metal, the immediate response of pulling it away would be an example of a reflex.

Explanation of Solution

Reflexes are automatic, rapid, preprogrammed, involuntary responses of a gland or muscle to a stimulus. It includes five components that are arranged in a reflex arc.
