Biology X | Control and Coordination | COORDINATION IN PLANTS | Movement Due to Growth
Movement Due to Growth Some plants like the pea plant climb up other plants or fences by means of tendrils. These tendrils are sensitive to touch. When they come in contact with any support, the part of the tendril in contact with the object does not grow as rapidly as the part of the tendril…

Biology X | Control and Coordination | COORDINATION IN PLANTS | Immediate Response to Stimulus
COORDINATION IN PLANTS Animals have a nervous system for controlling and coordinating the activities of the body. But plants have neither a nervous system nor muscles. So, how do they respond to stimuli? When we touch the leaves of a chhui-mui (the ‘sensitive’ or ‘touch-me-not’ plant of the Mimosa family), they begin to fold up…
