2.77 Understand that organisms are able to respond to changes in their environment
So yes, we know that organisms can respond to changes to their environment. Changes are known as stimuli. They can be light, pressure, chemicals, temperature, etc. Organisms must have receptors and, in order to respond, must have effectors (such as muscles or glands). The response determines whether an organism is able to survive the change in environment.
