Are shoots negatively phototropic?
No, they are positively phototropic as they grow towards light.
What are instinctive behaviors of plants?
Tropism is the easiest plant behavior to recognize; it means growing in a particular direction. Phototropic plants, for example, grow toward the sun. Plants also send their roots down or sideways based on the climate, in order to find water (hydrotropism).
What is a sentence for the word phototropic?
a flower is phototrophic because it is moving toward the sun
How do you keep growing tree or plant straight?
very generally, you grow the plant in a container and turn (rotate) the pot a few centimetres every day, which will compensate if part of the plant is in shade (ie indoors next to a window). most plants are phototropic which means they will grow towards the light.
Are orchids hydrangeas and irises all plants?
Yes they are all plants.
How is a plant shoot positively photo tropic?
Phototropic is a word to describe if the plant moves towards light sources or away from light sources. Positively phototropic means it moves towards light. Most, perhaps all, plants will grow towards a light source. Plants need light energy so they have evolved to grow in the direction of the best light. Negatively phototropic means it moves away from light. Vampires are known to be negatively phototropic.
The phototropic response to light occurs where?
does phototropism plants response to light
What part of speech is phototropic?
Phototropic is an adjective.
Are shoots negatively phototropic?
No, they are positively phototropic as they grow towards light.
Which direction dose a sunflower point?
Sunflowers are phototropic, so they face the sun.
How does a plant that is positively phototropic respond to light?
it grows towards the light.

How does a phototropic heterotroph obligate aerobe obtain energy?
by eating sparrow poo

What is the physical basis of the phototropic response in plants?
Tropisms are growthg responses in plants in which the direction of growth depends on the direction of the stimulus. Phototropism is the response to light. The shoots of plants are positively phototropic (grow towards the light) while the roots are negatively phototropic (grow away from light).Experiments carried out in 1880 by Charles Darwin and his son Francis showed that the stimulus was detected by the tip of the shoot but the bending response took place just below the tip.In 1913 the Dutch plant physiologist Boysen-Jensen showed that a chemical substance produced in the tip of the shoot passed to the bending region to cause the response and that this substance passed down the shaded side of the shoot.F. W.Went extracted the growth substance which was identified as auxin. He showed that the phototropic response was due to the unequal distribution of auxin in the shoot. More auxin accumulates on the shaded side of the shoot and causes more rapid cell elongation on that side, so that the shoot bent over towards the light.See related links below
What are examples of phototropic?
Phototropism is the act of a plant growing towards a light source. An example of this would be a houseplant that grows toward a window. Sunflowers are another example of phototropism as they grow straight upward when surrounded by larger plants.
What is photoropism?
Phototropism is a property of plants. A phototropic plant grows in the direction of a source of light, usually the Sun in the natural world. This is in contrast with, for example, a gravitropic plant that grows in a direction opposite to that of the force of gravity. "Photo" derives from the Greek word for light.
