Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: All the organisms can move from one place to another when they are in need for food or shelter. Some animals migrate to other places during the seasonal change toward a breeding site. This migration and the navigation of animals occur through the stimulus response. Taxis is the innate directional response of an animal that makes it move toward or away from the stimulus source.

Condoms are semipermeable membranes whereas spermicidal jelly does not form any barrier. b. Condoms contain an antibacterial coating while spermicidal jelly only kills sperm cells. c. Condoms form a barrier to protect against sperm movement as well as viruses. Spermicidal jelly breaks down cell membranes of bacteria. d. Condoms prevent the physical transfer of most sexual secretions. Spermicidal jelly kills sperm, but allows fluid transfer.arrow_forwardWhat is your hypothesis for this experiment? A. Pillbugs will move away from the choice chamber containing cornstarch, because they are repelled by cornstarch B. Pillbugs will move toward the choice chamber containing cornstarch, because they are attracted to cornstarch C.

I will add 10 pillbugs and then continue to add pillbugs so that the number of pillbugs in each container remains equal. B. I will put one pillbug into the choice chamber and see where it immediately goes. C.
