$1$. All living organisms,from the simplest prokaryotes to the most complex eukaryotes,sense their environment and respond to external stimuli like light,water,temperature,and other organisms.

$3$. Humans are the only organisms that are aware of themselves,have thoughts,and can reflect on their own actions.
