Question

Explain how movement in plants differs from movement in animals?

Answer 1

Movement in plants tends to be due to differences in osmotic pressure in cells, differential growth of stems or roots due to environmental stimuli (direction of sunlight, effect of gravity, touch).  Movement of animals is usually the entire organism moving or body parts responding to stimuli.

Answer 2

Animals have complex sets of muscles whose movements are coordinated well enough to allow the animal to move in one direction. Most plants move by a series of comparatively slow reactions, such as bending towards the direction of light via auxins, however some plants such as the Venus Flytrap, Sleeping Grass, and the Telegraph plant move fairly quickly through much faster reactions which still aren't fully understood.

Answer 3

you don't see plants walking around....
