Movement in response to light is called phototaxis, and in response to chemicals is chemotaxis. More specifically, movement towards a stimulus is positive and away from is negative. For example, positive chemotaxis is movement of a cell towards nutrients.

Frontal Eye Field
Can hormones be secreted in response to external stimuli?
yes hormones can be secreted in response to external stimuli. the bast example is adrenal hormone. whenever you are afraid of some external causes it gets released
Abnormal activity or lack of response to normal stimuli is called?
Lethargy
What are the four primary classes into which all adult tissue are classified?
Epithelial (covers the body), connective (supports and connects body parts), muscular (enables movement) and nervous (allows response to external stimuli).
What is the number of characteristics that define you living thing?
Some people say 6, some people say 7...here's why: 1 Cells/Organization of Cells 2 Reproductions 3 Metabolism 4 Growth and Development 5 Evolution 6 Response to Stimuli -Homeostasis some people say homeostasis is the 7th but some people say its a part of response to stimuli... i would go with 7 but explain and response to stimuli and homeostasis are related
What is meant by chemotropism?
Tropism is defined as the movement, generally by a plant, due to outside stimuli; direction of sunlight being a primary stimulus. Chemotropism is defined as oriented growth or movement in response to a chemical stimulus.
What is the movement of plant in response to stimuli in the environment?
tropism
Chemotaxis refers to the ability to?
move in response to chemical stimuli.
The responses of plants to external stimuli are called?
The responses of plants to external stimuli is called Tropism.Here are some tropisms:* Chemotropism, movement or growth in response to chemicals * Geotropism (or gravitropism), movement or growth in response to gravity * Heliotropism, movement or growth in response to sunlight * Hydrotropism, movement or growth in response to water * Phototropism, movement or growth in response to lights or colors of light * Thermotropism, movement or growth in response to temperature.
What is the information acquired by chemical stimuli or response to the environment that is directed by the brain?
It Is Sensory
Thigmotropism is a plant's response to?
Thigmotropism is a movement in which an organism moves or grows in response to touch or contact stimuli.
What is the difference between a positive and negative response in biology?
A positive response is when a response happens to a stimuli, and this response causes more of the stimuli to happen. A negative response is when a response happens because of a stimuli, and the response stops the continuation of the stimuli.
What is the medical term meaning loss of movement?
Akinesia means loss of movement. Rigor means rigidness preventing response to stimuli - also a loss of movement.
What is information acquired by chemical stimuli or response to the environment that is directed to the brain?
it's respiration
What is meant by Directional and Non-Directional Stimuli?
Directional stimuli are environmental stimuli, particularly light and sound, that the direction of which it comes and the direction of the response to the stimulus are of upmost importance. Non-directional stimuli are those where receptors do not detect the direction from which they come. Chemical stimuli are usually not directional.
What is chemical stimuli?
what is the answer uses both chemical and electrical stimuli
How do animal response to stimuli?
It respond to stimuli, by its own life.
