Kinesis (biology) Woodlouse activity decreases as humidity increases. Kinesis, like a taxis or tropism, is a movement or activity of a cell or an organism in response to a stimulus. However, unlike taxis, the response to the stimulus provided (such as gas exposure, light intensity or ambient temperature) is non-directional.
Thermogenesis is a process in which the body generates heat. Warm-blooded animals all engage in thermogenesis, and some plants are capable of generating heat as well. The goal of thermogenesis is for the body to keep its temperature stable so that it can function as efficiently as possible, and for the body to be able to access certain type of energy.
