A physical or chemical change in an organisms environment to which it responds is a stimulus.
Stimulus
Rust as seen on the surface of iron/steel is a physical entity ; a solid. . It is iron oxide. It has become rust by a chemical reaction. Iron has reacted with oxygen(air) (& Water is present ) to form rust . 2Fe (s) + 3O2 = Fe2O3(s) Iron has several oxides viz. FeO, Fe2O3, Fe3O4 FeO ( Iron(II) Oxide/ Ferrous Oxide) is a solid , green in colour and readily oxides to Fe2O3 . Fe2O3 ( Iron(III) Oxide/ Ferric Oxide) is a solid, red/brown in colour and stable( does not readily reduce in the air). Fe3O4 (Magnetite) is a dark coloured solid, stable at room temperatures , and was the 'lodestone' of viking navigators. As the name suggests it responds to magnetic fields.
To this day, there is no single universal means of defining life. However, most definitions require the following conditions: the organism has metabolism, grows over time, responds to environment and changes accordingly, is composed of one or more cells, has internal homeostasis, responds to stimuli, and is able to reproduce asexually or sexually.

The Receptor senses changes in the environment and responds by sending information to the Control Center along the Afferent.
Cell communication is the process by which a cell detects and responds to signals in its environment. Most single-celled organisms can perceive changes in nutri
Dogs get very distracted when they hear something and they bark or run.
That's right. When it's cold we put on more clothes
Actually, it is a longer list than that: It responds to the environment It adapts to the environment It grows It reproduces It eliminates waste It exchanges gases (respiration). It has a way of using nutrients for energy (metabolism). It has one or more cells It can move on its own. Even plants move a little.

A sensor is a device that detects or measures a physical property and records, indicates, or otherwise responds to it.
A cell responds to its environment by eating the waste of the animal (eats the food that the animal does not eat
