It can be define as the movement of the plant parts in response to the external stimulus that is contact or touch. It is also known as Haptotropism. The plant may change it's orientation, shape and size of the plant parts.

3,The thigmotropism can be positive or negative depending upon the visual response shown by the plants. The response shown by the plants is generally fast but may be slow. This response is shown by the plants in cases of danger of herbivory.Some plants like Mimosa pudica or touch me not plant shows thigmotropism by closing their leaves on touch

(ii) malate synthase (glyoxylate to malate)

c) Glyoxylate cycle do no exist in animals

Explanation:

b) in the glyoxylate cycle isocitrate lyase helps in conversion of isocitrate to glyoxylate. Also, helps in conversion of glyoxylate to malate by using malate synthase.

c) Glyoxylate cycle do no exist in animals, it only exist in plants and bacteria. This is because they can produce glucose from acetyl-CoA in required amounts.They have the ability to change acetyl-CoA from fat into glucose. But in animals, this mechanism is not possible.
