In Response to Global Climate Change, It Is Likely That

question 164

Multiple Choice

In response to global climate change, it is likely that some plant species will survive while others will go extinct. All of the following are explanations of this pattern EXCEPT:

• A)greenhouse gases are toxic, so increasing levels of these gases will cause some plants to go extinct.
• B)plants differ in their abilities to respond physiologically to persistent environmental change, and some will survive increased temperatures.
• C)temperatures may increase more rapidly than some species can adapt, which will lead to their extinction.
• D)some plants are able to migrate more effectively than others and can move into areas with more favorable conditions for survival.
• E)All of these choices are correct.

Definitions:

Conditioned Stimulus-Unconditioned Stimulus Pairings

The process in classical conditioning where a neutral stimulus (conditioned stimulus) is repeatedly presented alongside an unconditioned stimulus until it elicits a conditioned response.

CS-UCS Interval

The time gap between the conditioned stimulus (CS) and the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) in classical conditioning, affecting the strength and timing of the conditioned response.

Spontaneous Recovery

The return of a conditioned response (CR) when an interval intervenes between extinction and.

Extinction

The process in which a conditioned response decreases in frequency and eventually disappears due to the absence of reinforcement.
