In a classic study reported by tolman (1948), rats were exposed to a complex maze that had three different paths to food: path 1 was shortest, path 2 was a bit longer, and path 3 was the longest. after experiencing all of the paths, rats showed a strong preference for path 1 (the shortest path). then, the researchers blocked path 1-which, also, as it turns out, blocked path 2. what did rats do when they were placed in this situation?

i'll try what topic lol

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.  

the principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to test the hypothesis, and development of a conclusion that confirms, rejects, or modifies the hypothesis.
