What is the word for a Plant that grows towards the light?
phototropic (details from another answer) movement of or growth of plant in response to external stimulus. e.g. growth of root towards gravity - geotropism growth of shoot towards the light - phototropism hydrotropism is exhibited by lengthening of roots towards water source and finally, thigmotropism is growth towards solid objects -support by climbers
Which of these external stimuli produces growth of the plant toward light?
The stimulus that produces growth of the plant toward light is called phototropism. It is caused by the presence of blue light, specifically light in the 440-470nm wavelength range, which is detected by the plant's photoreceptor molecule called phototropin. This photoreceptor triggers a signaling pathway that stimulates cell elongation on the shaded side of the plant, resulting in growth towards the light source.
What causes a plant to grow upward?
Okay, well there is tropism and stimulus. The stimulus can be gravity, light, and touch. So it depends... If there is a window above the plant and it is reaching upwards towards it... then it would be light, and the plant's response would be reaching upward towards it.
When a plant grows toward light is the suns light the stimulus?
umm im pretty sure its responce :) hop i helped A plant growing toward light is an example of positive phototropism.
What is the scientific term associated with plant growth to or away from a stimulus?
The general term for this behavior is tropism. It can take a variety of forms, including phototropism (when the stimulus is light) and chemotropism (when the stimulus is a particular chemical).
What is the plant's response to the stimulus?
Tropism is the response plants have towards external stimulus.
What is a plant response to a stimulus called?
Tropism is the response plants have towards external stimulus.
Is a plant growing towards light a response or stimulus?
Response. The stimulus is the light.
Is a leaf external or internal?
Leaf is an external organ of the plant
What is stimulus with examples?
A stimulus is a DETECTECTABLE change in the environment. e.g. light is a stimulus to an animal or plant if it can detect the light with a sensing eye or chemical

What is a plant's movement away from or toward a stimulus?
Tropism is the movement of a plant away from or toward a stimulus. The most easily found example of tropism is a plant's response to light. Plants tend to grow toward the light. This tendency is called 'phototropism'.
What does exophytre mean?
Exophyte is an internal or external Plant Parasite
Is steam power plant is internal combustion or external combustion engine?
A steam engine is an external combustion engine.

What is the difference between taxis and tropism?
Tropism: is the growth response of a plant that results from certain stimuli. Tropism can be positive, in which case the plant will bend toward the stimulus, or negative, in which case the plant will bend away from stimulus. Taxis: Taxis in animals is the responsive movement of going toward or away from an external stimulus.
