Reaction time
Physiological adaptions are short-term changes in response to a particular environmental stimulus.
The term used to describe what causes organisms to react to their environment is "stimulus." A stimulus can be any change in the environment that elicits a response from an organism, such as light, temperature, or sound. Organisms respond to these stimuli through various behaviors or physiological changes to adapt and survive.
The general term for this behavior is tropism. It can take a variety of forms, including phototropism (when the stimulus is light) and chemotropism (when the stimulus is a particular chemical).
The term reflex or phrase reflex action describes a quick spontaneous automatic response to a stimulus that does not involve thinking about it. It is controlled through the brain, but does not require thought.
