How do organisms react to a stimulus?
Practically anything can be a stimulus, so organisms can respond to them in just about any way. The definition of 'stimulus' and 'response' are a little paradoxical in this context in that a stimulus is anything that provokes a response and a response is anything done to react to a stimulus. Perhaps some examples will make it clearer: if a predator grasps a lizard's tail (stimulus) it will detach the tail and escape (response). If the weather is excessively hot (stimulus), a plant will close the stomata in its leaves to conserve water (response). If a laboratory mouse notices a new object in its cage (stimulus), it will go investigate it (response).
