"Bacteria are able to sense and respond to a variety of external stimuli, with responses that vary from stimuli to stimuli and from species to species. The best-understood is chemotaxis in the model organism Escherichia coli, where the dynamics and the structure of the underlying pathway are well characterised. It is not clear, however, how well this detailed knowledge applies to mechanisms mediating responses to other stimuli or to pathways in other species. Furthermore, there is increasing experimental evidence that bacteria integrate responses from different stimuli to generate a coherent taxis response. We currently lack a full understanding of the different pathway structures and dynamics and how this integration is achieved. "

What is the reaction to a stimulus by a muscle or gland called?

A stimulus can be internal or external. An example of an internal stimulus is feeling hunger or feeling the need to urinate. An example of an external stimulus is hearing a loud noise or touching a hot object.A response is what you to voluntarily or involuntarily in response. Your response to hunger is to eat. Your response to touching a hot object is to jerk you hand away reflexively.

Example of unconditioned stimulus?

Unconditioned Stimulus is an event or thing that automatically triggers a response. an example would be. when you smell your favorite food cooking, your mouth may salivate. the smell is an unconditioned stimulus which, in turn, brings rise to the salivating (unconditioned or conditioned response).

What is the difference between stimulus generalization and response generalization?

Stimulus generalization occurs when a response is triggered by stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimulus, while response generalization involves the production of different responses to the same stimulus. For example, if a dog learns to sit when hearing a bell, it may also sit when hearing a similar sound (stimulus generalization). In contrast, if the dog learns to sit and then also learns to lie down in response to the same bell, that would be an example of response generalization. Essentially, stimulus generalization is about the stimuli that evoke a response, while response generalization is about the variety of responses elicited by the same stimulus.


Neutral stimulus is the same as what?

Neutral stimulus is the same as a conditioned stimulus before it has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus in classical conditioning. It is a stimulus that does not elicit a response initially, but can become a conditioned stimulus through association with an unconditioned stimulus.


What is the relationship between a stimulus and a response?

A response is always triggered by a stimulus. One example is in a neuron (nerve cell). Once a sensory stimulus is witnessed (a stimulus from one of the 5 senses), the cell hits an action potential, and the response is carried out. Simply put: A human eye is closed. Once the eye opens thousands of sensors in the eye pick up the photons bouncing off all objects (stimulus), and the human is able to see (response).


What is an example of stimulus and Response?

when we touch a hot object we immediately (even without thinking) withdraw our hand. touching the hot object is the stimulus and withdrawing our hand is the response
