Question

Which of the following picture shows the growth independent movement?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\bullet$ Plants show two types of movements.
One is the growth-dependent movement. Here plants grow towards or away from a stimulus.
$\bullet$ For example: Plants growing towards the sunlight (Option d), growth of climbers by taking the help of the support (Option b) and roots growing downwards by the action of gravity (Option a).
$\bullet$ Another type of movement shown by plants is growth independent, here the response shown by the plants are not related to growth.
$\bullet$ For example: the response of the touch me not plant (Option c) to touch.
