Question

select the correct answer.
the leaves of a plant fold inward when touched as a way to defend themselves from potential harm. what kind of response do the leaves demonstrate?
a. nastic response
b. phototropism
c. transpiration
d. gravitropism
e. photosynthesis

Explanation:

A nastic response is a non - directional plant response to a stimulus (like touch here). Phototropism is response to light, transpiration is water loss, gravitropism is response to gravity, and photosynthesis is food - making. The plant's leaf folding on touch is a nastic response.

Answer:

A. nastic response
