Phototaxis and Photokinesis:
Phototaxis is the type of locomotive movement by plants and lower organisms where the organisms move towards or away from light. It is a type of locomotion.
Whereas, photokinesis is the process which is mainly connected with metabolic activities. Photokinesis involves the change in rate of metabolism, either by the secretion of less enzymes or by modifying the quality of the enzymes as a result presence and absence of light. Photokinesis is a much-developed character than phototaxis.
