Question 192025BiologyJAMB
The closing of flamboyant tree leaflets in response to low light intensity is an example of what type of plant movement?
A
tropic movement
B
nastic movement
C
tactic movement
D
photoperiodic
Step-by-Step Explanation
Nastic movements are non-directional responses of plant organs to environmental stimuli, such as light or temperature changes. The closing of flamboyant tree leaflets in low light intensity is a response that occurs independently of the direction of the light source. This type of movement is typically rapid and reversible, distinguishing it from tropic movements, which are directional.
