it responds by eating the other flowers around it to get as much sunlight as it needs
through closing their leaves or flowers like "touch me not plant"
They are made of cells, have a metabolism, respond to stimuli, grow, reproduce, and are influenced by their environment.
They alone do not show characteristics of life like growth,reproduction,homeostasis,reactions for stimulii.
Photophobia.
All plants "know" what is going on because they respond to sunlight, water, pressure and danger. Sunflowers turn their flowers so that the center of the flower stays within the strongest part of the sunlight.They also respond to water by sending roots out towards any that is nearby. They respond to pressure by growing away from it, as in up out of the soil and around rocks and buildings and things. They respond to being cut or chewed by putting out new shoots or branches.
Nobody has been able to prove that fish are self-aware, in that they understand that they are separate beings with a life separate from their environment. They respond to stimulii in a mechanical way, without a visible reasoning process, and also without any sign of what we know as happiness, sadness, anger, triumph, sorrow or guilt. Bear in mind that Porpoises, Dolphins, Whales are not fish. These aquatic mammals are much more advanced than fish and they do exhibit strongly felt emotions.
Tendrils are a type of modified leaf. They are used by plants like Pea, to climb up other plants and objects. They are have a tropic response in that they respond to touch, which makes them curl around.
It can be either one, depending on your meaning. You would "respond to" a question or comment directed at you. You would "respond for" someone else who cannot respond for themselves.
Yes they do respond to stimulation - by sun light - they respond the same as flowers do by bending and shifting their leaves toward the sun. The amount of movement is somewhat less noticeable than the bending of a flower but it is there. If a tree is planted in a location where the sunlight only reaches it from one area, it will grow towards that area to receive the maximum amount of light that it can get. This is called phototropism ( "light seeking").
