Plants cannot move around. If they are growing in an area where conditions are not ideal, they
cannot move to a different location. Instead, they can grow in different directions to seek
resources they need to survive. For example, tropisms allow plants to get water and light.

What is a plant's response to gravity called?
A plant's response to gravity is called gravitropism or geotropism.
Which of these can be defined as a roots downward growth as a respnse to gravity?
Gravitropism, which is a growth movement by a plant, fungus, or animal in response to gravity. Charles Darwin was one of the first to scientifically document this.
How does thermal energy help us survive?
wel;l it gives us heat
Can nuclear plants help conserve energy?
They can help conserve other fuels which are used to generate energy. They can be used in place of those fuels but they, along with all power plants, generate energy they do not conserve it.
What is the name for a plant's growth response to gravity?
Certain plants react to gravity by growing against it or towards it. It is the tropism of gravity called a geotropism. For example, if a potted plant falls over then it will continue to grow towards the sky. If a mudslide occurs and it drastically tilts the land where a tree grows, the tropism allows the tree to grow upwards. Alternatively, geotropism works for roots as well. Roots will respond to gravity by growing downwards. It can be observed that no matter which way a seed is planted the roots and the shoots respond to gravity in opposite ways. Plant hormones, auxins are responsible for this response. Phototropism is the response of plants to light.
What is the growth of plants root downward and shoot upward called?
Elongation of the meristematic tissue
Comparition and contraction between phototropism and gravitropism?
If I am not mistaken, phototropism is when plants grow towards the sun. Gravitropism is when plants grow towards the ground.
An example of gravitropism?
Plants growing upside down........
Will time upside down help a plant to grow faster?
well the scientific meaning of it is no because of gravitropism. gravitropism is the force of gravity on plant. dont know what gravitropism is: wikipedia search: gravitropism.
How do stem help plants survive?
its easy
How do animals help some kinds of plants survive?
Without animalscarnivorous plants wouldn't survive because that's their food
How do the actions of bees help plants survive?
By pollinating them.
Do plants grow downwards?
No, plants do not always grow downward. Plant roots always grow downward due to positive gravitropism or positive geotropism. Plant shoots always grow upwards due to negative gravitropism or negative geotropism.
How did the northwest help the northwest Indians to survive?
trees and plants
How do animals help types of plants survive?
they spread seeds
How does sunlight help plants survive?
because it can take a energy
What is the meaning of gravitropism?
Gravitropism is when the roots grow deeper into the soil with the force of gravity pushing it. Wow, I'm in elementary school and my first person ever asking me something. It's a pleasure answering your question. I wish you luck on what ever your doing.
