Questions and Answers

What is the main purpose of communication systems in living organisms?

  • To coordinate activities and respond to changing environments (correct)
  • To increase the concentration of toxic products
  • To decrease the concentration of substrates
  • To eliminate the need for hormonal responses

    • How do living organisms respond to environmental change?

  • By avoiding any changes in behaviour or physiology
  • By increasing toxins and inhibitors
  • By decreasing stress on the cells
  • By maintaining a constant internal environment (correct)

    • Which system is responsible for quicker responses to immediate changes in the external environment?

  • Neuronal system (correct)
  • Hormonal system
  • Metabolic system
  • Toxic system

    • Why is it important for metabolic processes to detect changing conditions?
