Movement in sensitive plantsMovement in our legs
$1$. The movement that takes place in a sensitive plant such as $Mimosa \text{ } pudica$ 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 signals 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, specialized proteins are found which allow the movement to occur upon contraction.
