Which statement regarding the movement in the sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica) is INCORRECT?
It is a seismonastic movement triggered by touch or other stimuli.
It involves the active transport of potassium ions into the pulvinus.
It is a nastic movement caused by changes in turgor pressure.
Water moves out of the pulvinus cells, leading to a decrease in turgor and leaf drooping.

Identify the movements that are exhibited by cells in the human body
Amoeboid, Ciliary, Flagellar, Muscular, and Intracellular transport
Only Ciliary and Flagellar
Only Muscular and Skeletal
Diffusion, Osmosis, and Active transport
The movement of flagella is primarily driven by:
Actin-myosin interaction
Dynein-mediated sliding of microtubules
Hydrostatic pressure changes
Calcium influx into the flagellar matrix
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of amoeboid movement?
Formation of pseudopodia
Involvement of cytoplasmic streaming
Changes in cell shape
Presence of cilia or flagella
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of ciliary movement?
Occurs in striated muscles
Creates a sweeping or beating motion
Found in the respiratory tract and fallopian tubes
Involves hair-like projections called cilia
