How can you tell that the corn plants were responding to gravity rather than light water or the direction the seed was pointing?

What determines the direction a seedling will grow?
yes Light has more effect. light would affect the direction of foliar growth, the direction of root growth is determined by gravity (with a few exeptions)
What does geotropism cause a plants roots to do?
the auxins in the plant and the gravity
Why do plants show movements to the sun direction?
phototrophism
What mechanical forces were responsible for the transportation of water to the plants?
Gravity, erosional forces
What are the 6 natural forces?
gravity,water,temperture,plants,ice,wind
What way do plants tend to grow?
downwards or in the direction of gravity.
In which direction do plants roots grow?
The roots of most plants grow towards the pull of gravity.
How does gravitropism effect plants?
Gravity. Gravitropism is when an object either moves towards or away from the force of gravity
Do plants grow better upside down?
No. Plants are designed for the roots to grow in the direction of gravity and the leaves to grow against gravity. A plant grown upside down will adapt by curving its stem upwards again.
What are tropisms and what do they demonstrate about plants?
Tropisms is the response to an external stimulus in a specific direction.
What happens to a plant when the direction of gravity changes?
Most plants grow up, or away from gravity. Even vining plants will first grow upwards before they grow too long and start to vine. So, if a plant were subjected to a change in gravity...say, hung from an upside down pot...it would change it's growth direction to again grow away from gravity, growing upwards.
What determines the direction a seedling will grow?
yes Light has more effect. light would affect the direction of foliar growth, the direction of root growth is determined by gravity (with a few exeptions)
What is positive gvravitropism?
firstly there is no word as GVRAVITROPISM. When plants grow towards gravity it is called GEOTROPISM. its is mainly the root of plants that show geotropism; because they grow downward. but the stem show negative geotropism because it grows up in the opposite direction of gravity
Does the sun have gravity or atmosphere?
yes it has gravity, that's how the plants orbit it.
What indicates plants response to gravity?
Geotropism, the tendency of some plants to grow straight up, against the force of gravity.
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.
Can plants grow sideways or upside down?
Just like the tospey turvey! Well, the water and nutrients travel very fast to the plants because the roots are at the top so the dont have to travel very far down.
