Is tropism the movement of a plant towards or away from a stimulus?
Towards. As in, phototropism. The tendency of plants to grow towards light.
What is the scientific term associated with plant growth to or away from a stimulus?
The general term for this behavior is tropism. It can take a variety of forms, including phototropism (when the stimulus is light) and chemotropism (when the stimulus is a particular chemical).
What is the stimulus to phototropism?
Phototropism reacts to stimuli when light hits the plant, it fills it with nutrients. But if there is too much sunlight, the water in the plat can evaporate, leaving the plant wilted. :) DIS IS FROM KID
What are the effects of the tropisms caused by light and gravity?
A tropism is a growth response whose direction is determined by the direction of the stimulus. Growth towards the stimulus is called a positive tropism. Growth away from the stimulus is called a negative tropism. The response to light is called phototropism. Shoots are positively phototropic, roots are negatively phototropic. The response to gravity is called gravitropism (or sometimes geotropism). Shoots are negatively gravitropic and roots are positively gravitropic. http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/T/Tropisms.html
When a plant grows toward light is the suns light the stimulus?
umm im pretty sure its responce :) hop i helped A plant growing toward light is an example of positive phototropism.
A plant sits on a window sill over time the stems of the plant curve toward the light coming in the window this process is called?
This is due to tropic movement(tropism) in plants in which the fixed part of a plant(such as stem) moves in response to a stimulus.If the stimulus is light(as you have asked) then it is termed as Phototropism.And further more stem shows positive phototropism.
What is a plant's movement away from or toward a stimulus?
Tropism is the movement of a plant away from or toward a stimulus. The most easily found example of tropism is a plant's response to light. Plants tend to grow toward the light. This tendency is called 'phototropism'.
What is the difference between Hydrotropism and phototropism?
Hydrotropism is a plant's growth reaction in which the path of growth is formed by a gradient or stimulus in water concentration. Phototropism commonly occurs in plants but can also take place in other beings like fungi.
What is a sentence example of phototropism?
We observed the phototropism of our plants.
What is it called when a plant grows toward light?
It is called "phototropism". It is caused by the destruction (by light) of chemicals (called Auxins), produced by the growing tip, that is responsible for making plants cells elongate. The side in shadow therefore elongates while the side in full Sun does not. This turns the plant growth towards the Sun.
What is the relationship between auxin and phototropism?
Phototropism is the biological process for auxin's.
What is a sentence using the word phototropism?
Phototropism is when plants grow towards light.
