Why would a tongue not detect mild sweetness after eating foods with high sweetness?
== == Simply because the sensory cells have been badly damaged. This happens because of the "desensitization" of sensory receptors on the sensory cells of your tongue. This phenomenon occurs in all of our senses, where a strong and continuous stimulus desensitizes us to the same stimulus, so that it is harder to detect. For example, this is how you adjust to new smells, or why it�s harder to hear after attending a loud concert. It is part of how your body is able to adapt to new environments. There are multiple ways in which the sensory cells of your sensory organs regulate and "desensitize" these receptors. For instance sensory receptors on the cell surface can be deactivated or cells can internalize the receptors and degrade them, both of these events effectively reduce the number of functioning receptors on the cell surface and thus reduces its ability to detect a stimulus.
Pressures or demands placed on an organism to adjust or adapt to its environment describes?

What is the importance of adaptation in some sensory stimulation?
A long term stimulation of constant intensity, the receptor will after a while adapt and not make any notice of the stimuli.
Why might the ability to adapt to sensory stimulus be beneficial when might it be harmful?
Being able to adapt to sensory stimulus is beneficial because it helps the body adjust to changes that occur. The downside to it is some cannot cope with the sudden changes, which can confuse body functions and perception.
Why dont your eyes adapt completely to a repeated visual stimulus?
Our eyes adapt completely to repeated visual stimulus because
What are the four factors that is involved in older adults compensation for sensory loss and aging organs?
The four factors involved in older adults compensating for sensory loss and aging organs are neural plasticity (brain's ability to adapt), sensory substitution (using one sense to compensate for another), environmental modifications (adjusting surroundings for better sensory input), and cognitive strategies (using memory and knowledge to compensate for sensory loss).
How would you describe adaptation?
Adaptation describes the ability of plants and animals to survive to a changing environment. Those unable to adapt will die-out and become extinct. A trait that is beneficial to survival

What is the difference by being born with sensory loss and acquiring sensory loss?
If your born with sensory loss you are used to it so its not a hard to deal with it but is u aquire sensory loss you have to over come it and it is harder to adapt to.
