Within seconds, it can lower its leaves and make its tiny leaflets close up like folding chairs. T

15、his movement is thought to be initiated by electrical impulses remarkably similar to nerve signals in animals.

16、base of each leaf stalk and leaflet. Called pulvini, these organs hold the plant parts in place. When the mimosa is stimulated-say, by a crawling insect or a sudden change in temperature-an electrical impulse sweeps through the plant. This causes potassium and then water to be shifted from certain c
