Question

Give some examples of turgor movements.

Answer 1

Turgor Movements:

1. Turgor movements in plants are frequently reversible and are induced by variations in "turgor pressure" in specific cells.
2. Some plants, for example, have different bloom positions during the day than at night, while some beans have distinct leaf positions during the day and night.
3. One of the most common causes of leaf reactions is changes in internal water pressure which can be found in the tissue around the base of leaflets.

Examples Of Turgor Movements:

1. When someone touches the leaves of a Mimosa plant, they fold and droop.
2. Medicago marina plant leaves close or sleep at night, but open up during the day.
