(b) Explain how the pea plant climbs up the support by means of tendrils.
Show SolutionHide Solution↓
(b)Tendrils of pea plant are sensitive to touch. When they come in contact with any support, the part of the tendril in contact with the object does not grow as rapidly as the part of the tendril away from the object. This causes the tendril to circle around the object and thus help in climbing the pea plant. (2 Marks)
