Describe the role of hydrotaxis and scototaxis in termite behavior and their survival value.
ScanSolve AI Answer
8. b) The form of response exhibited by termites moving to dark, moist areas is hydrotaxis (response to moisture) and scototaxis (response to darkness).
9. a) One biological significance of this response to termites is that it helps them find suitable habitats for survival and reproduction, protecting them from desiccation and predators.
10. a) The type of response being investigated in this setup is hydrotaxis (response to moisture).
b) The survival value of this response is that it allows the maggots to move towards moist environments, which are essential for their development and to prevent desiccation.
11. The role of calcium chloride in the experiment is to absorb moisture, creating a dry environment in petri dish A.
