The closure of lid of pitcher in a pitcher plant, is due to

1. turgor movement
2. tropic movement
3. paratonic movement
4. autonomous movement

Correct answer: turgor movement

Solution

The lid movement in a pitcher plant happens because cells change their turgor pressure, causing the structure to open or close. Since the movement is driven by water pressure changes rather than growth or a directional stimulus, it is a turgor movement.
