Question 6 • 24 - 25 CR - Biology B (0411KB)

Which is an example of a reflex?

Answer
A
putting on a coat when you see that it is snowing outside
B
pulling your foot away after stepping on a sharp object
C
laughing at a funny joke told by one of your classmates
D
eating a snack when your stomach growls from hunger

Explanation

A reflex is a rapid, automatic response to a stimulus that happens without deliberate thought. Pulling your foot away after stepping on a sharp object is an immediate protective response, so it is the reflex. Putting on a coat and choosing to eat a snack involve decisions, while laughing is not necessarily an automatic reflex.
