Conductivity is based upon which universal protoplasmic quality of living things:
Correct answer: B. Irritability
- A. Growth
- B. Irritability
- C. Reproduction
- D. Energy input
Explanation
Irritability, also known as responsiveness or excitability, is the ability of living organisms to detect and respond to changes in their environment or internal conditions. It involves the reception of stimuli and the generation of a response, such as movement or secretion. Conductivity is based on the universal protoplasmic quality of irritability because it relies on the ability of cells, particularly nerve cells, to detect stimuli (irritants) and transmit electrical impulses in response.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
