This is a thinking question- it was not in the video:

A rat finds a piece of rotting fruit, smells it, takes a small bite, and then runs away. Which statement best explains the reason for the rat’s behavior?

• The rat runs away from the fruit to process the new sensory information.

• Sensory receptors in the rat’s whiskers respond to input about the texture of the fruit.

• The rat’s tongue detects chemicals in the fruit that alert the rat to possible danger.

• Information gathered by the rat’s auditory receptors signal that the environment around the fruit is not safe.
