The influence of light on non-directional movement of organisms is known as:
Show Hint
- Phototaxis
- Photokinesis
- Phototropism
- Photoperiodism
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
- Photokinesis is the change in movement speed due to light intensity, without directional movement.
- Phototaxis involves movement toward or away from light.
- Phototropism is directional growth toward light (in plants).
- Photoperiodism refers to biological responses to light duration (e.g., flowering).
Top Questions on Animal Sciences
In a deer species that lives in groups, some individuals act as sentinels and are vigilant for predators but there is a trade-off between foraging and vigilance. A researcher collects data on the foraging rates of edge (black) and central (grey) members of the group in two similar forests, one with and one without predators. Which one of the following figures best supports the hypothesis that members at the edge are acting as sentinels in this deer species?

- Solutions
For a first order decomposition of a certain reaction, rate constant is given by the equation
\(\log k(s⁻¹) = 7.14 - \frac{1 \times 10^4 K}{T}\). The activation energy of the reaction (in kJ mol⁻¹) is (\(R = 8.3 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹\))
Note: The provided value for R is 8.3. We will use the more precise value R=8.314 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ for accuracy, as is standard.- TS EAMCET - 2025
