3. Plants respond in other ways besides tropisms. a. What is the name for a plant's non-directional response to a stimulus? 1 b. How are tropisms different from these responses?​

Nastic movement the non-directional movement (of plants) in response to a stimulus (e.g. humidity, temperature, light irradiance, nutrients, gravity

Explanation:In tropism there is directional movement of plant in response to the surrounding like gravity or light but the direction of nastic movement is independent . in tropism stimulus controls the orientation of the growth , in nastic movements stimulus triggers response

Hope this helps you

explanation:

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.
