Why is movement in plants usually slow?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because many plant responses are based on growth
Plants do not generally have muscles or a nervous system that can produce rapid coordinated movement. Many plant movements result from unequal growth on two sides of an organ, as in a shoot bending toward light. Since cell division and elongation take time, such responses are usually slow. Therefore option A is correct; the other statements are factually incorrect.
