What happens when a plant gets light from only one direction?
When plant gets light from only one direction then plants bends towards light .
What benefit is there for a plant's shoots to have positive phototropism?
They get towards the light and do photosynthesis to make their own food.
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 controls geotropism and phototropism?
When the auxins in the plant act towards gravity... positive geotropism is wen the plant goes to the direction of gravity which would be downwards..negative geotropism would be upwards going against the natural gravity Phototropism is when the plant reacts towards the photosynthesis conditions where when light acts on the plant so the auxins burst and the plant bends towards light..this is positive phototropism...but when the plant goes against the direction of light it is then negative phototropism
Does light effect the direction of growth of a plant?
Plants need light and they will grow towards where they receive an optimal amount; plants will face where the light is. You can experiment on your own by growing your own plant and using a desk lamp as the light source. As the plant grows, it will lean towards and face the light source directly.
If a plant gets light from only one direction the shoots would likely do what?
The plant needs light to grow. So, the shoot has a tendency to grow towards the direction of light to receive more of it. The above result can be obtained by a simple school project involving growing of common beans in a cup, and keeping it in a shoe box with only one hole in the corner for light to enter.
If a plant is tipped on its side the shoots will likely?
If a plant is tipped on its side, the shoot will still grow upward.

What is phototropism what does have to do with plants?
Tropism is the growth response of a plant caused by a stimulus. Gravitropism is the growth response of plant to gravity. The roots grow downward towards gravity, which is called positive gravitropism. The stem and upper part of a plant grow upward, away from gravity, which is called negative gravitropism.
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.

Why do plants grow under fluorescent light?
Plants use light energy (present in the photons of blue and red light) to break apart carbon dioxide and combine it with nutrients in order to produce glucose. Any lighting will do as long as it is a strong emitter of blue and red light; the sun is one, and fluorescent bulbs are another.
What do you call the movement of shoot towards light?
Phototropism is a plant's growth response to a light source, determining which direction it grows in. Positive Phototropism is the tendency for a plant to grow towards the light; Negative Phototropism is when it grows away from the light.

Shoots that extend off the plant horizontally?
Runner
