Solution
| Movement of leaves of a sensitive plant | Movement of a shoot towards light |
| A nastic movement is the name for the kind of movement that sensitive plant leaves exhibit. They occur instantly in reaction to a touch stimulation (thigmotropism). | Tropic movement describes a shoot's movement in the direction of light. A lengthier amount of time passes during it. |
| The direction of the stimulus has no bearing on this kind of movement. | Phototropism is the name for this movement, which is dependent on the direction of the light. Movement of this kind is growth-oriented and directional. |
