explain at least two differentiate between photo tropic and Nastic Movement
Answers
difference:
on the basis of: with their differences:
1.growth:
nastic: growth independent movement
tropic: growth dependent movement
2.time of action:
nastic:immediate
tropic:slow
3.reason for action:
nastic:change in turgor
tropic:cell division
4.response to stimulus:
nastic:non-directional
tropic:directional
5.alternate name:
nastic:nastics
tropic:tropism
6.examples:
nastic:opening and closing of stomata; leaves of touch-me -not(mimosa)
tropic: phototropism,geotropism,chemotropism and hydrotropism etc.
hope this helps u!!
Plant responses to various stimuli are seen in the form af movements. According to the nature of stimulus movements may be induced (paratonic) or spontaneous (autonomous).
These are of two types:
◇ Tropic movements.
◇ Nastic movements.
These are directional and growth dependent movements.
For example:
1. Phototropism - movement towards light.
2. Geotropism - movement towards gravity.
3. Hydrotropism - movement towards water.
4. Chemotropism - movement due to chemical stimules.
5. Thigmotropism - movement due to contact or touch stimulus.
These are non-directional and growth independent.
For example:
1. Seismonasty - movement in response to touch.
2. Photonasty - movement in response to light.
3. Thermonasty - movement in response to heat.
4. Nyctinasty - sleep movements.
5. Epinasty - movement due to growth (bending).
6. Chemonasty - movement in response to a chemical.
