What is the difference between tropic responses and nastic responses in plants?
Tropic responses involve slow directional growth movement in plants in response to a stimulus, while nastic responses are the quick movement of a plant in response to an environmental stimulus. Tropic responses are directional and can be positive or negative, while nastic responses are non-directional.
