Any organism that has intact nerve cells or a functioning nervous system will respond to stimuli. Organisms respond to changes in temperature, pressure, or chemical composition of its' external or internal environment. A stimulus has to be strong enough to initiate an impulse, called a threshold stimulus.

"Bacteria are able to sense and respond to a variety of external stimuli, with responses that vary from stimuli to stimuli and from species to species. The best-understood is chemotaxis in the model organism Escherichia coli, where the dynamics and the structure of the underlying pathway are well characterised. It is not clear, however, how well this detailed knowledge applies to mechanisms mediating responses to other stimuli or to pathways in other species. Furthermore, there is increasing experimental evidence that bacteria integrate responses from different stimuli to generate a coherent taxis response. We currently lack a full understanding of the different pathway structures and dynamics and how this integration is achieved. "

All organisms respond to a stimulus. An example would be being startled by a loud noise. The noise is the stimulus and the reaction is you being startled.
