Concept:Living things show characteristic life processes such as respiration, growth, response to stimuli, and reproduction, but the way these occur differs between plants and animals.
Explanation:Animals respire by taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide, so carbon dioxide is not a raw material for animal respiration.
Plants, unlike animals, generally continue to grow throughout their life, so plant growth is not limited after a certain time.
Higher animals like birds and mammals reproduce only by sexual means, not asexually.
Plants do respond to stimuli such as light, gravity, and touch, but their response is usually slow because they lack fast nervous coordination like animals.
Therefore, the correct statement among the options is that most plants respond to stimuli slowly.
Answer:C. most plants respond to stimulus slowly
