Detailed explanation-1: -Klinokinesis: in which the frequency or rate of turning is proportional to stimulus intensity. For example the behaviour of the flatworm (Dendrocoelum lacteum) which turns more frequently in response to increasing light thus ensuring that it spends more time in dark areas.

Detailed explanation-2: -Kinesis is the undirected movement in response to a stimulus, which can include orthokinesis (related to speed) or klinokinesis (related to turning). Taxis is the directed movement towards or away from a stimulus, which can be in response to light (phototaxis), chemical signals ( chemotaxis ), or gravity (geotaxis).

Detailed explanation-3: -Kinesis and taxis Some organisms have innate behaviors in which they change their movement in response to a stimulus, such as high temperature or a tasty food source. In kinesis, an organism changes its movement in a non-directional way-e.g., speeding up or slowing down-in response to a cue.

Detailed explanation-4: -An example of kinesis is the movement of a cell or an organism as a result of its exposure to certain stimuli such as light, temperature, and chemical. The two main types of kineses are orthokinesis and klinokinesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Kinesis and taxis are two forms of directional behaviors. Kinesis involves stimulus-induced movements in random directions, such as the random movement of flies when chased away. On the other hand, taxis involves stimulus-induced movement towards a specific direction, such as moths flying towards a lightbulb.
