Movement in sensitive plants:
A sensitive plant's movement is an involuntary response to stimuli.
Movement in legs:
Leg movement is a completely voluntary and conscious reaction.
S.no Movement in plants Movement in legs
1. Movement in sensitive plants is classified as tropic or nastic movement and is an instinctive response to external or internal stimuli. Leg movement is controlled by the neurological system.
2. It does not require any specific tissues for information transmission. Leg mobility is aided by a sophisticated neural system network that includes the CNS and PNS.
3. There are no specific proteins involved in the movement of the sensitive plant. Actin, myosin, and other proteins aid in the contraction and relaxation of leg muscles to facilitate leg movement.
