Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that behavior in animals refers to the actions or reactions of an organism, usually in relation to the environment or external stimuli.
Recognize that behavior is not related to cellular respiration, which is a metabolic process that converts biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP.
Acknowledge that behavior is not about genetic makeup, which determines physical characteristics but does not directly describe actions or responses.
Identify that behavior is not the ability to photosynthesize, as photosynthesis is a process used by plants and some other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy.
Conclude that the most accurate definition of behavior in animals is the set of actions performed by an organism in response to external stimuli.
