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.
In biology, the term kinesis means movement, especially the kind that's caused by a stimulus. If you turn on the kitchen light at night and see cockroaches scatter, they are showing kinesis. The word kinesis comes up in biology class, especially if you're studying the behavior of animals. When animals are affected by a stimulus â like light, sound, or physical touch â and react by moving, that's kinesis.
