A bumblebee can sense electric fields. The most likely mechanism underlying this sensitivity is the motion of hairs on the bee's body. The hairs bend in response to an electric field, and the bee senses this motion. Support for this mechanism as the source of the sensitivity is the fact that putting an electric charge on a bee (as occurs when a bee flies through the air) dramatically increases its electric field sensitivity. Explain why adding charge to a bee causes hairs on the bee's body to bend more in response to a field. Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences. 1. The hairs of bee without charge can only interact with an electric field because that fieldthe bee's hairs.
2. If the charge is added, the hairswould interact with the field because of excess charge.
3. The force exerted by the electric field on the bee's hairs iswhen the charge is added, so the hairs bend stronger and their motion is easier to sense.
