Question

Which of the following is NOT a type of movement seen in plants?

K SUNKANNA · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: C
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
 **Primary Concept**: Plant movement types
 **Related Topics**: Plant physiology, tropisms, nastic movements
 **Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of plant biology
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
  The question asks to identify a movement type NOT observed in plants.
  Options: Nastic movement, Tropic movement, Voluntary movement, Growth movement
**Method & Steps**:
 1. Analyze each option to determine if it's a plant movement type.
  Reasoning: We need to identify which movement is not characteristic of plant life.
 2. Identify the option that does not describe a plant movement.
  Working: 
            * Nastic movements are plant movements independent of the stimulus direction (e.g., opening and closing of flowers).
            * Tropic movements are directional growth responses to stimuli (e.g., phototropism, gravitropism).
            * Growth movements are movements caused by irreversible changes in cell size and shape, contributing to overall plant growth and development.
            * Voluntary movements require conscious control by a nervous system, which plants lack.
 3. Determine the incorrect option.
  Result: Voluntary movement is the only option that does not describe a type of plant movement.
  Verification: Plants lack the nervous system necessary for voluntary movements. Their movements are responses to stimuli or growth processes.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
A ✓: Nastic movement is a type of plant movement.
B ✓: Tropic movement is a type of plant movement.
C :x: Voluntary movement is not a type of plant movement; plants lack voluntary control.
D ✓: Growth movement is a type of plant movement.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
 **Common Mistakes**:
  1.Confusing nastic and tropic movements: Remember that nastic movements are non-directional, while tropic movements are directional.
  2.Assuming plants have voluntary control: Plants lack the nervous system required for voluntary action.
 **Quick Tips**:
  1.Focus on the key characteristics of each movement type.
  2.Remember that plant movements are primarily responses to stimuli or growth processes.
