Answer 1

Here are the appropriate matches for the receptors with their motor responses:

1. a cat’s fur rising when touched - This response is associated with tactile receptors (mechanoreceptors) responding to touch.

2. a student giving an answer in response to a verbal question - This response is likely linked to auditory receptors hearing the question and engaging in cognitive processing.

3. a person stopping at a red traffic light - This is associated with visual receptors (photoreceptors) that detect the color of the traffic light and the subsequent motor response.

4. a sunflower turning toward a light source - This behavior is linked to photoreceptors that respond to light, causing the sunflower to orient itself toward the light source.

If you need to fill in these matches, they would look like this:

• a cat’s fur rising when touched - Tactile receptors
• a student giving an answer in response to a verbal question - Auditory receptors
• a person stopping at a red traffic light - Visual receptors
• a sunflower turning toward a light source - Photoreceptors
