(a) The manner in which electroreceptors respond to electrical stimuli
| |
(b) The tendency of electroreceptors to be found in clusters
| |
(c) The unusual locations in which electroreceptors are found in most species
| |
(d) The amount of electrical stimulation required to excite electroreceptors
|
976. Which of the following can be inferred about the experiment described in the first paragraph?
(a) Researchers had difficulty verifying the existence of electroreceptors in the anteater because electroreceptors respond to such a narrow range of electrical field strengths
| |
(b) Researchers found that the level of nervous activity in the anteater’s brain increased dramatically as the strength of the electrical stimulus was increased
| |
(c) Researchers found that some areas of the anteater’s snout were not sensitive to a weak electrical stimulus
| |
(d) Researchers tested small areas of the anteater’s snout in order to ensure that only electroreceptors were responding to the stimulus
|
977. The author of the passage most probably discusses the function of tactile receptors in order to
(a) eliminate and alternative explanation of anteaters’ response to electrical stimuli
| |
(b) highlight a type of sensory organ that has a function identical to that of electroreceptors
| |
(c) point out a serious complication in the research on electroreceptors in anteaters
| |
(d) introduce a factor that was not addressed in the research on electroreceptors in anteaters
|
978. Which of the following can be inferred about anteaters from the behavioral experiment mentioned in the second paragraph?
(a) They are unable to distinguish between stimuli detected by their electroreceptors and stimuli detected by their tactile receptors
| |
(b) They are unable to distinguish between the electrical signals emanating from termite mounds and those emanating from ant nests
| |
(c) They can be trained to recognize consistently the presence of a particular stimulus
| |
(d) They react more readily to strong than to weak stimuli.
|
979. The passage suggests that the researchers mentioned in the second paragraph who observed anteaters break into a nest of ants would most likely agree with which of the following statements?
(a) The event they observed provides conclusive evidence that anteaters use their electroreceptors to locate unseen prey
| |
(b) The event they observed was atypical and may not reflect the usual hunting practices of anteaters
| |
(c) It is likely that the anteaters located the ants’ nesting chambers without the assistance of electroreceptors
| |
(d) Anteaters possess a very simple sensory system for use in locating prey.
|
980. Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the hypothesis mentioned?
(a) Researchers are able to train anteaters to break into an underground chamber that is emitting a strong electrical signal
| |
(b) Researchers are able to detect a weak electrical signal emanating from the nesting chamber of an ant colony
| |
(c) Anteaters are observed taking increasingly longer amounts of time to locate the nesting chambers of ants
| |
(d) Anteaters are observed using various angles to break into nests of ants.
