Accepted Answer

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So which of the following characteristics of life helps explain why a rat runs away when chased by a cat in order to solve this problem. I need you to realize that the rat running away is a response to being chased by a cat, which is a stimulus. Now that we know this, why does the rat want to get away from? The cat? Will put it to be put in basic terms, it wants to live if it is trapped by a car, the car will eat the rat and it will die. So the main motivation for the running away is just survival. Keeping this in mind, let's go over each of our answer choices so that we may solve the problem beginning by answer choice A. Which is reproduction. We agreed that it was survival which was the main motivation for the running away. Not reproduction. So we're going to cancel this out. Then we have c homeostasis. Homeostasis help us keep a steady state within our bodies in terms of our body temperature and such. This is not what is going on in the question. So we're going to cancel it as well. Then we have growth and development. This is not the motivation for the running away. Rather it is survival. So we're going to cancel this out. Finally, we have the response to an environmental stimuli. Well, at the beginning of the problem, remember that we said that the cat running or chasing the ride was a stimulus and the rat running away is a response. So why is it running away where this is a response to a certain environmental stimuli? So answer choice B is the correct answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you, and I hope to see you on the next one.
