What else can I help you with?
What is it called when cells that respond to light and grow in the direction?
Thigmonasty.
What is the response to touch in a mimosa plant?
The mimosa plant responds to touch by rapidly closing its leaves when touched, a behavior known as thigmonasty.
Is wood sorrel sensitive to touch?
Yes, wood sorrel is sensitive to touch. Its leaves fold up or close in response to physical contact or changes in light intensity. This response is known as thigmonasty.
When you touch the leaf of this plant it closes. whats the name of this plant?
The plant you are referring to is likely the sensitive plant, also known as Mimosa pudica. It responds to touch by folding its leaves inwards, a response known as thigmonasty.
The leaves on a Venus Flytrap close when touch what is this an example of?
I do not think that it has a specific name for only that. I am not a plant professional but I can tell you that number one; they aren't leaves and number two; It should only be called "the head of the Venus Flytrap closing". It also does not need a capital V since it is not the name of a planet, but the name of a plant (Venus).
What do you call the response to stimuli of makahiya?
The response of the makahiya plant (Mimosa pudica) to stimuli is known as "thigmonasty" or "seismonasty." This phenomenon involves the rapid folding of its leaves and drooping of its stems when touched or disturbed, serving as a defense mechanism against herbivores. This reaction is a form of movement that occurs in response to physical stimuli.
What is a responsive movement of a plant that is not dependent on the direction of the stimulus is called?
A responsive movement of a plant that is not dependent on the direction of the stimulus is called a non-directional or non-tropic movement. Examples of non-directional movements in plants include thigmonasty (response to touch), nastic movements (response to changes in environmental conditions), and nyctinasty (response to changes in light).
What are the unique characteristics of the sensitive plant flower that make it so intriguing to botanists and gardeners alike?
The sensitive plant flower is intriguing due to its unique ability to fold its leaves in response to touch or movement, a phenomenon known as thigmonasty. This plant also has delicate pink flowers and fern-like leaves, making it visually appealing to both botanists and gardeners.
How go flowers move?
Flowers themselves do not move in the way animals do, but they can exhibit movements such as opening and closing in response to light, a phenomenon known as phototropism. Some flowers may also respond to touch or temperature changes, a process referred to as thigmonasty. Additionally, certain plants can attract pollinators through movements like swaying or changing positions, which aids in reproduction. Overall, while flowers are generally stationary, they can demonstrate various types of movement based on environmental stimuli.
Difference between nastic movement tropic movement?
Nastic response occur in a part of a plant that grows towards a non-directional stimulus while Tropic response occur in a part of a plant that grows towards or away from a directional stimulus.
Having no muscles how does a Venus fly trap shut its 'jaws'?
The exact mechanism for this phenomena is still widly unknown. What we do know is that the "mouth" on the plant has little "sensor hairs" that somehow sends a signal that initiates the closing of the trap. The actual closing of the trap is probably a result of a change in turgor pressure within the trap, itself. In other words, the water in the plant is redistributed to fill the trap.
What is plant growth response to touch called?
Venus fly trap and the sundew plant (both carnivorous) respond to the touch of their prey. Mimosa pudica (called sensitive plant, touch-me-not, shy plant or tickleme plant) also responds to touch. The cells in the leaf quickly shed water, lose their rigidity and let the leaf droop away from the touch. After a few minutes the leaf returns to normal.
