Science Question on Animals – Nervous System

What is the difference between the manner in which movement takes place in a sensitive plant and the movement in our legs?

Answer
Movement in sensitive plantsMovement in our legs
1.The movement that takes place in a sensitive plant such as Mimosa pudica occurs in response to touch (stimulus).
2.For this movement, the information is transmitted from cell to cell by electrochemical signals as plants do not have any specialized tissue for conduction of impulses.
3.For this movement to occur, the plant cells change shape by changing the amount of water in them.
