    How do these “touch-me-not” plants know when to react when they’re being touched, therefore making them react by closing up?

    I am surprised that Chat GPT only got questions right 80%. WOW! A brand new Acellus course. I didn’t know there are 2 branches of calculus. I like to learn finding irregular volumes. I am going to take the new pre-calculus class. Is it an honors class? Or an AP class?
