Question
beluga whales live in the arctic ocean. they often hunt for food underwater where it is too dark to see well. beluga whales use echolocation to help them find fish, squid, crabs, and other prey.
as a beluga whale swims, it makes a series of clicks. it listens for the echoes the clicks make against objects in the water. the echoes help the beluga whale find its prey.
which parts of the nervous system does a beluga whale use for echolocation? select all that apply.
its brain its nerves its sense organs
To determine the parts of the nervous system used for echolocation:
- The brain processes the echo information to interpret prey location.
- Nerves transmit signals (e.g., from sense organs to brain, and motor signals for clicking).
- Sense organs (like ears) detect the echoes of the clicks. So all three (brain, nerves, sense organs) are involved.
