| Movement in sensitive plants | Movement in our legs |
| 1. The movement that takes place in a sensitive plant such as Mimosa pudica occurs in response to touch (stimulus). | 1. Movement in our legs is an example of voluntary actions. |
2.
For this movement, the information is transmitted from cell to cell by electrochemical signals as plants do not have any specialised tissue for conduction of impulses. | 2.
The signal or messages for these actions are passed to the brain and hence are consciously controlled. |
| 3. For this movement to occur, the plant cells change shape by changing the amount of water in them. | 3. In animal muscle cells, some proteins are found which allow the movement to occur. |
