Response Cells Describe Mimosa Pudica Folds Touch Folding

Touch causes ionic changes in Mimosa pudica that increase turgor in top cells and decrease it in lower cells, causing the leaf to fold down.

Le toucher provoque des changements ioniques dans la Mimosa pudica qui augmentent la turgescence dans les cellules supérieures et la diminuent dans les cellules inférieures, entraînant le pliage de la feuille.

Front Describe how Mimosa pudica folds in response to touch.
Back Folding in response to touch:
  • Touch causes changes in ion concentrations that increase turgor in top cells and decrease it in lower cells
  • As a result the whole leaf bends down
