Chapter 39, Problem 4TYKT
Summary Introduction
To examine: Whether the statement “action potentials are electrical impulses that might be used as internal communication in plants” is true or false.
Concept introduction: In addition to light, the plants respond to various stimuli such as gravity and mechanical stimuli. The response of a plant towards any particular stimuli is known as tropism. This tropism is helpful for the plants so that they can grow towards adequate sources of light and water.
