Question

1. animals respond to environmental stimuli obtained through their sensory organs. how does the body convert information from the environment into an internal response?

options:

• osmotic pressure
• increased cellular temperature
• chemical signaling
• selective membrane transport

Explanation:

To determine how the body converts environmental stimuli to internal responses, we analyze each option:

• Osmotic pressure relates to water balance, not stimulus conversion.
• Increased cellular temperature is a response, not the conversion mechanism.
• Chemical signaling (e.g., neurotransmitters, hormones) is the process by which sensory information is transmitted and converted into internal responses, coordinating cellular and systemic reactions.

Answer:

chemical signaling
