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.
Why is gravitropism a crucial plant adaptation?
Gravitropism is a plant's ability to grow in accordance to gravity. The roots of a plant are 'programed' to grow towards gravity (positively geotropic, down) and the stems are 'programed' to grow away from gravity (negatively geotropic, up). Plants do have some roots and stems that are not affected by gravity, these are ageotropic. Other parts grow at right angles to gravity, they are plageotropic. All these different forms of Gravitropism give a plant its shape; without this a plant would not be able to anchor itself in the ground, find sunlight, or grow properly in accordance to its surroundings.
What is it called when a stem grows up?
Gravitropism (also known as geotropism) is a turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. It is a general feature of all higher and many lower plants as well as other organisms. Wikipedia
What kind of tropism is exhibited by a growing plant stem?
negative gravitropism
Why is positive gravitropism an important adaptation of plant roots?
A. the phenomenon depends upon inhibition of cell elongation of certain root cells by auxins.jB. gravity causes auxins to accumulate on the lower side of roots.C. It depends on more rapid elongation of some cells than othersD. It is mediated by auxin as for phototropismE. All of the above

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 the growth of plant roots down word and shoots upward called?
Elongation of the meristematic tissue
What would happen to a plant if all its parts had a positive response to gravitropism?
the plant would die out
What are the 4 plant tropisms?
OK there's 4 tropisms hydro tropism (when plant grows towards water) thigmatropism, (when plant grows towards touch) gravitropism (grows right side up is turned upside down) and photo tropism (grows towards light)
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.
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 happens to a plant which was grown horizontal?
Ultimately the shoot grows upward and the root downward
What is mounding Annual?
A 'Mounding Annual' is a plant that grows upward, as apposed to trailing close to the ground.
Why is it better to plant cut pieces of potato with the eye pointing upward?
becausa the "eyes" of an potatoes are buds that grows a new plant
Which tropisms affect plant roots and stems?
gravitropism
What does gravitropism affect?
Gravitropism affects the roots of a plant, so say when you turn it on its side, after a while its roots will make an "L" shape.
