Behavior

Real World Example

Imagine you're sitting at work, feeling hungry, and you start daydreaming about your favorite lunch spot. Just as your hunger prompts you to find food, an organism responds to internal or external stimuli to maintain balance or fulfill a need. In this analogy, your hunger is the internal stimulus, the urge to seek food is your response, and your trip to the lunch spot is akin to an organism taking action to address its needs.
