QUESTION 9
(a) Similarities
Differences
F-rate of response 1
P-is slow in plants, is fast in humans 1
F-Duration of response 1
P-for plants response lasts longer if the stimulus stays
the same; it involve either a rapid response for 1
humans.
F-Location of response
P-for plants, a response takes place at the region just 1
below the shoot tip or above the root tip; for humans
response takes place in one or more specific
effectors in different parts of the body. 1
F-Nature of message 1
P- for plants it is chemical; for human it is both
chemical (hormone) and electrical 1
F-Type of response 1
P- for plants it is a growth movement caused by cell
division and cell elongation; for humans it involves
