The degree to their responsiveness depends on the complexity of the organism. For example a bacterium is very limited to simple responses such as movement. Human beings can make sophisticated responses to a lot of environments, which they either perform directly or with technological devices. Responses usually involve movement of some sort or another. Movement of an organism from one place to another is called locomotion. Plants and other organism, which are fixed in one place, cannot show locomotion, but they can only move parts...
