Answer 1

Factor responsible for the reaction of the Mimosa pudica plant when touched

1. The reduction of turgor pressure in the leaves of the Mimosa pudica plant is thought to be responsible for the plant's response when it is touched.
2. It's caused by a differential in turgor pressure between the upper and lower parts of the petiole's base.
3. As a result, when the leaf is touched, it droops completely.
