What force allows roots to grow inside soil?
Gravity or Gravitropism
What is a plants response to gravity?
(meaning: tropo; turning, bending; geo, earth) The innate condition in plants to grow their roots toward gravity. The same happens with the leaves that grow towards the sun; this instead is called phototropism.
What is the amount soil to grow plants?
enough where the roots can stretch out
What kind of gravitropism do roots display when they grow into the soil?
positive gravitropism
Role of roots in vegetative propagation?
to let new stem to grow
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.
Which part of the plant shows a positive response to gravity?
The roots of a plant exhibit positive geotropism or gravitropism because they grow toward the direction of the pull of gravity.
A change in the direction a plant grows in response to gravity?
A change in plant growth due to gravity is gravitropism. Roots have a tendency to grow in the direction of strongest gravitational pull.
What is a negative gravitropism?
A tropism in which the roots of plant grow downward, in the direction of gravity
What determines the direction roots grow?
toward the sun light..................:)
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 happens to the roots when you place a plant on its side?
in most cases they will change direction and start growing downwards again. if you took the plant to outer space, where there is no gravity, they will grow in any direction.
In gravitropism which direction do roots grow?
Downward
What will happen if roots grew randomly in the soil instead of responding to gravity?
Yes because if the roots grew randomly then the plant would fall over or grow in a strange way (sideways) because the gravity is not helping support the tree to stand. Another reason is because the gravity is pulling the roots down, therefore the roots will be stronger and let the tree stand up straightly in direction to the centre of the earth.
What direction do roots on a conifer tree grow?
Outwards.
