A plant will usually respond to light by photosyntesizing, or making it's own food off of it. I hope I answered your question.

2 stimuli that a plant would respond to?

A plant would respond to light by growing towards a light source through phototropism. It would also respond to touch or contact by curling its leaves to avoid or protect itself from potential harm through thigmotropism.


Do all parts of plant respond the same way to stimuli?

No, different parts of a plant may respond differently to stimuli. For example, the roots may respond to water availability by elongating or branching, while the leaves may respond to light by adjusting their orientation or size. Each part of the plant has specific adaptations to respond to different stimuli in its environment.


What is movement from a plant bent towards light called?

I believe what you are referring to is called Phototropism, which describes the way plants and some fungi respond to light.


How does a plant grow towards the light?

Green plants respond to the stimulus of light. Most stems and leaves grow towards light. HINt: If you have never noticed a plant that has sat in a sunny window for to long always bends towards the light.


Why do plants respond light touch and gravity?

Plants respond to light touch through a process called thigmotropism, where they can change their growth in response to physical contact. Plants respond to gravity through gravitropism, which helps them orient their roots for water and nutrients and their stems for optimal light exposure. These responses are important for plant growth and survival in their environment.


Which plant responds to stimuli?

Yes they do respond to stimulation - by sun light - they respond the same as flowers do by bending and shifting their leaves toward the sun. The amount of movement is somewhat less noticeable than the bending of a flower but it is there. If a tree is planted in a location where the sunlight only reaches it from one area, it will grow towards that area to receive the maximum amount of light that it can get. This is called phototropism ( "light seeking").

Do tendrils respond to light touch or sound?

Tendrils typically respond to physical cues such as touch and contact with other objects, rather than to sound. They use touch to help the plant find support and climb. Light touch triggers a reaction in the tendrils that allows the plant to wrap around objects for support.


How does plant respond to light?

Plants respond to light through a process called photomorphogenesis, which involves changes in growth, development, and gene expression in response to light signals. Plants can sense the quantity, quality, and direction of light to regulate processes such as germination, phototropism (growth towards light), and flowering. Different wavelengths of light are perceived by specific photoreceptors, such as phytochromes and cryptochromes, leading to various physiological and developmental responses in plants.
