Animals respond to stimuli in many different ways.
For example:
When an animal is frightened, it's heart will beat faster. When it is at ease, it's heart will slow down until it is at a normal pace.

If there is food nearby, an animal's first instinct would be to eat it. If the animal is aware that it is poisonous, it will probably avoid the food.

If an animal is, or feels threatened, it will act more aggressive, and some will try to act bigger, or the animal's heart rate will increase and the animal will run away.

Finally, an animal may act more aggressive if another animal of it's *herd* is killed by a predator.

No, different parts of a plant may respond differently to stimuli.

Carrots do not respond to stimuli in the same way that animals or some plants do. They lack a nervous system and do not have the ability to perceive or react to external stimuli like light or touch.

What allows animals to sense and respond rapidly to stimuli?

Nervous system allows animals to sense and respond rapidly to stimuli. It includes sensory receptors that detect stimuli such as touch, light, and chemicals, and transmit the information to the brain for processing. The brain then coordinates responses through motor neurons to produce appropriate actions.
