This study guide covers environmental sensing and communication in organisms, focusing on behavioral and physiological responses to environmental cues. Key examples include photoperiodism, phototropism, taxis, kinesis, and fight-or-flight. It also explores organism-to-organism communication (hormones, behaviors) and its connection to natural selection and cooperative behavior. Finally, it provides exam tips, common pitfalls, and practice questions related to these topics.
