How do humans coordinate
their activities and
movements?

2
How do humans coordinate
their activities and
movements?

Because of well coordinated Nervous

system and sense organs.
3
Do plants have sense organs
or nervous system?

4
Do plants have sense organs
or nervous system?

No, they don’t have any sense

organ.
5
So, how are the movements
coordinated in plants?

6
 No problem!!

Let us study about

Coordination in plants.

7
Observe the given video and explain what actually happened?

8
 Observe the given video and explain what actually happened?

WHEN AN INSECT CAME INTO CONTACT WITH PLANT THEN PLANT CLOSES ITS LEAVES.
9
What happens
when a seed
germinates?

10
 What happens
when a seed
germinates?

Shoot grows up and

roots grows down.
11
 ▪ Plants show their movements
by growth.

▪ Plants generally show

movements at a very slow rate.

▪ Plants exhibit two types of

movements.

▪ Growth-dependent movements
called the Tropic Movements.
(towards or away from a
stimulus like touch me not plant
and).
▪ Non-growth dependent
movements called the Nastic
Movements. (independent of
stimulus like seed germination).
TEACH A COURSE 12
 EVALUATION
The movement in a plant caused as a result of differential growth
is called___________

a) Tactic movement

b) Tropic movement

c) Turgor movement

d) Growth movement

What do you
observe in
the given
figure?

17
What do you
observe in
the given
figure?

The sunflower is
moving in the
direction of sun.
18
What do you
observe in
the root and
shoot of plant
in figure?

19
What do you
observe in
the root and
shoot of plant
in figure?

Root is growing
downwards and stem is
growing upwards.
20
What do you observe in the roots of the plant given in figure?

21
What do you observe in the roots of the plant given in figure?

The root in 2nd figure is moving towards

water. 22
Tropic movements can be classified
again into 4 types-

• Phototropism – It is the
movement of plants in response to
light. (sunflower)
• Geotropism – It is the
movement of a plant part towards
the soil. (plant in the pot)
• Hydrotropism– It is the
movement of a plant towards the
water. The stimulus here is water.
(bending of roots toward water)
• Chemotropism – It is the
movement of plants in response to a
chemical stimulus. (growth of
pollen tube)
23
 EVALUATION
What environmental triggers change the direction of plant growth

a) Light

b) Gravity

c) Water

d) Touch

Which of the following shows phototropic movement

a) Bending of stem towards a light

Observe the given
figure, what
happens in the plant
we touch it?

28
Observe the given
figure, what
happens in the plant
we touch it?

When we touch,
leaves began to fold
up or droop.

29
What do you
observe in the
given figure?

(Hint – tendrils)

30
 What do you
observe in the
given figure?

The tendrils of plant is

climbing on a stick.

31
 Therefore, Nastic movements in
plants are not directional
movements.
They are not dependent on
stimulus and are growth
independent.

For example,
• Thigmotropism- The leaves
of a touch me not plant (Mimosa
pudica), fold up immediately
when touched.

TEACH A COURSE 32
 EVALUATION

Movements of leaves of sensitive plant, Mimosa pudica are due to

(a) thigmotropism

(b) Chemonasty

(c) Thermonasty

(d) hydrotropism

What happened to the plant when sunlight is falling on it?

37
What happened to the plant when sunlight is falling on it?

Plant bends towards the light.

38
What do you observe
in given figure?

39
What do you observe
in given figure?

The bud is changing into

a flower.

40
What do you observe
in given fig.?

(Hint: - related to
leaves)

41
What do you observe
in given fig.?

Leaves are falling

down.

42
Plant hormones are responsible for the control and coordination of plants. There are
different types of hormones, which affect the growth of a plant.

Auxin – They help in the cell growth at the shoot tips.

Gibberellin – These hormones are responsible for the cell growth in seed germination, and
flowering.

Cytokinin – They promote cell division in plants. They also delay ageing in leaves.

Abscisic acid – This hormone inhibits the growth of the plant. It promotes the detachment
of fruits, flowers, and falling of leaves and fruits.
