Stimulus is something that causes a psychological response. It can be internal or external. The stimulus is the contact with the hot pan. It is an external stimulus. Sense organs, such as the sensory receptors in the skin are sensitive to external stimulus. The quickly pull of your hand is a reflex action.
The contact causes a nerve impulse that will travel to the spinal cord via the sensory neurons.<span>To respond to the stimulus of the reflex arc, the muscle needs to contract to pull the hand quickly away from the hot pan.</span>

There is quite a lot, but the fact that both mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own circular DNAis what I would call "key" evidence. That is, these organelles are not "manufactured" by the cell (i.e., there are no "genes for mitochondria" in eukaryote genomes): like their ancestral bacteria, they reproduce by binary fission.
