A
The process of cellular respiration
B
The genetic makeup of an organism
C
The observable actions or responses of an organism to its environment
D
The physical structure of an organism's body
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that 'behavior' in biology refers to the actions or responses of an organism to its environment, rather than internal processes like cellular respiration or genetic makeup.
Eliminate options that describe internal processes, such as 'the process of cellular respiration,' as these do not involve observable actions or responses.
Eliminate options that describe static characteristics, such as 'the genetic makeup of an organism' or 'the physical structure of an organism's body,' as these are not dynamic responses to the environment.
Focus on the option that describes observable and dynamic actions or responses, which is the hallmark of biological behavior.
Conclude that the correct description of 'behavior' in biology is 'The observable actions or responses of an organism to its environment.'
