Stimuli and Responses

Students will explore how organisms increase their chances of survival by responding to changes in their environment. This includes studying taxes, kineses, and the role of receptors.

8 methodologies

Homeostasis

Students will learn about the principles of homeostasis and negative feedback mechanisms. The focus will be on the control of blood glucose concentration and the regulation of water potential by the kidneys.
