AP Biology Lab 11: Animal Behavior Pre-Lab Question: 1. How are organisms distributed in a resource gradient? 2. What is the difference between kinesis and taxis? Question: What is the cause (i.e. taxis, kinesis) of some aspects of animal behavior (i.e. orientation, agnostic, mating, dominance)? What is the effect of environmental factors (i.e. temperature, pH, background color, light) on animal’s response? How are these behaviors adaptive? Hypothesis: Dependent Variable: Independent Variable: Experiment Design: Control Treatment:
