Question

When touched the leaflets of 'Touch me not' plant, leaflets are closed. Closing of leaflets start from the point of contact to
the leaflets away. The leaflets are closed due to
A. Specialised proteins
B. Capillary action
C. Change in turgor pressure
D. All the above​

Answer 1

Answer:

C).Change in the turgor pressure

Explanation:

The Mimosa plant folds the leaflets on stimulus with touch. The stimulus is passed on to the entire branch and then the whole plant with all the leaflets close. There is a loss of water from the cells at the base of the leaf.  This is due to the passing of the impulse which causes a change in the turgor pressure in the cells causing the leaflets to be closed.

Answer 2

Explanation:

When the compound leaf of sensitive plant ''touch me not'' is touched, it collapses and its leaflets fold together as it is undergone a shock. It results from a rapid loss of turgor by cells of the leaflets.
