Question

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

Answer 1

Hint: In our daily life, we, the human being can move from place to place which shows our movement. We are motile. Human beings move from one place to another place in search of food, water, and settlement. However, on the other hand, the plant cannot move from one place to another. But they can show some minor movements for a short duration of time. These movements demonstrate that they ate motile.

Complete answer:
As we knew already, the plants and animals show the movement in them only when there is a need for it. However, there are many differences between the movement that takes place in a sensitive plant, and the movement in our legs. These differences will display the modifications amid the plants and animals.

The movement takes place in a sensitive plant	The movement in our legs
Generally, such movement in sensitive plants occurs in response to the exterior or interior stimulus given by the source. These movements can be categorized as a tropic or nastic movements.	However, the movement which takes place in the legs of a human being is under the regulation of the nervous system.
This movement can be described as an involuntary action.	Thus, this movement can be described as a voluntary response, that is a conscious response
For the relay of information, this process does not involve any special tissues.	Generally, the movement of the legs is assisted by a complex network of the nervous system that includes CNS and PNS.
Any type of specialized protein that is not involved in the movement takes place in a sensitive plant.	However, the process of Contraction and relaxation of leg muscles to carry about movement in legs is supported by different specific proteins just like actin, myosin, etc.

Note: We should know that a response given by any plant parts which is independent of the course of the external stimulus is called nastic movement. For example, the opening of buds which is caused by a variation in sunlight intensity. One can define tropism as the actions of plants in retort to stimuli. The dissimilar tropic activities in plants help them to familiarize themselves with diverse circumstances and continue.
