Answers
Answer:
Plants immediately respond to a stimulus in many ways. Although they do not have a complex and special system of response towards the stimulus like CNS yet they do respond to stimulus in their surroundings.
Example :
A plant may bend towards light in the presence of the sunlight during the day time.
Here, plant is responding towards the external stimulus sunlight.
Insectivorous plants respond to the stimulus ie. insects when insects sit in these plants, these plants immediately trap insects and eat them. Thus they show an immediate response towards the stimulus.
Answer:
The plant name – Mimosa pudica (touch me not plant) is the good example of plant immediately respond to a stimulus. When we touch the plants leaves then they close their leaves inside means it shows immediate response when we touch. The folding of leaves when we touch is an example of nastic movement in plants.
