What is the difference between the manner in which movement takes place in a sensitive plant and the movement in our legs?
Answer
| Movement of sensitive plants | Movement in our legs |
|---|---|
| In sensitive plant, the movement takes place as they use electrical-chemical means to convey the information from cell to cell, but there is no specialised tissue in plants for the conduction of information. | In humans, movement of leg occurs according to the control of nervous system. Specialised cells i.e neurons are responsible for transmission of impulse. |
| The plant cells change shape by changing the amount of water in them, resulting in swelling or shrinking, and therefore in changing shapes. | Specialised proteins found in animal muscle cells regulates the movement of leg. |
| Plant movement is always due to a physical stimulus. | It can occur due to reflex action or cognitive thinking may also be involved. |
