Nastic Movements
Nastic movements are non-directional responses of plants to stimuli. They depend on the intensity
of the stimulus rather than its direction. Exam Tip: Learn definitions, differences and NCERT
examples.

Types of Nastic Movements
Thigmonasty: touch response (Mimosa pudica). Photonasty: response to light. Nyctinasty: opening
and closing of leaves/flowers due to day and night. Seismonasty: response to shock or vibration.

Tropic vs Nastic Movements
Tropic movements are directional growth responses, whereas nastic movements are
non-directional and usually caused by changes in turgor pressure. Exam Tip: Learn definitions,
differences and NCERT examples.

Nervous vs Hormonal Control
The nervous system acts quickly using nerve impulses, while hormones act more slowly through
chemical messengers but their effects last longer. Exam Tip: Learn definitions, differences and
NCERT examples.
