The ability of a living organism to react and respond called?
The ability of an organism to react to stimuli from its environment or habitat is known as adaptation. Without being able to adapt, organisms would be unable to cope in the long term even with the most minor of changes. It would be like trying to bend a metal ruler with you hands.
How you classifying things?
we can classifying things a either living or non-living based characteristicssuch as the ability to :. grow.move on their on own ;. reproduce ;. respond to changes
True or false a stimulus is anything that causes an organism to respond?
Yes stimulus is anything that can cause an organism to respond. If our nerve cells are damaged it is possible that we may not respond to the stimulus. Study of nervous system is very important to understand this phenomenon.
Difference between stimulus and response?
A stimulus is a change in an organism's surroundings or body which causes it to respond. Hence, a response is an organism's reaction to a specific stimulus.
Could an organism that is susceptible to an antimicrobial agent in laboratory testing fail to respond to it when that drug is used to treat the patient?
Yes, if the drug amount is not enough to treat the invading organism in the patient, or if the organism do not react to the drug a lot (small zone of inhibition is seen in the experiment)
How do organism respond to short term changes in the environment?
Physiological adaptions are short-term changes in response to a particular environmental stimulus.
What type of tissue is specialized to respond to environmental changes?
Nervous tissue would be the most responsive. For example, the eyes respond to changing light intensity, blood flow, hair orientation and lung bronchioles all respond to changing temperature. The skin (melanocytes) also respond to UV radiation over time.
What characteristic is an organism ability to respond to stimuli most closely associated with?
homeostasis
Many Northern Hemisphere birds respond to seasonal environmental changes by?
migrating

Describe how an important characteristic of life - an organism's ability to respond to stimuli in its environment - can help an animal in the wild avoid a predator?
The ability to respond to stimuli helps animals in the wild because it save their lives. If they were unable to respond, then they wouldn't hear a predator approaching.
What are four ways to describe an organism?
1. Repection is the ability of the organisms to control it's actions and respond to changes in the envierment. 2. Metablism is the process of takinf in and using nutrients to produce energy and growth. 3. Reproduction is the ability to reproduce offspring to continue the species. 4. Organization divides the organism into distinct parts to perform ther functions.
Why shouldn't acids be transported long distances?
Acids have the ability to respond actively to temperature changes and pressure changes. So it should be avoided.
Is the ability to respond to enviormental stimuli observed in plants?
Consider the Venus fly trap and the environmental stimulus of an insect landing on the trap's leaves and know that plants can respond quite well to environmental stimulus, though not always as blatantly as a Venus fly trap.
Which of these occurs when an organism responds to external or internal stimuli?
Anything in an organism's external environment that causes the organism to react is a stimulus. a reaciton to a stimulus is a response. The ability to respond to stimuli in the environment is an important characteristic of living things
Science explain the requirements to be classified as living organism?
Living organisms have cells, grow and develop, can reproduce, have homeostasis (the ability to have a stable body temperature), DNA, and stimulus (the ability to respond to surroundings).
How adaptation help species survive?
Adaptation is how creatures respond to environmental changes, whether that be in their habitat, or in their predators or prey. Adapting will help them survive better.
