What is the stimulus of a plant growing toward light?

The stimulus for a plant growing toward light is phototropism, which is the plant's growth response to light direction. In this process, cells on the side of the plant that is away from the light elongate more than those on the side facing the light, causing the plant to bend toward the light source. This response is primarily regulated by the plant hormone auxin, which redistributes in response to light, promoting growth on the shaded side. This adaptation helps maximize light absorption for photosynthesis.


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 is growth of a plant movement toward light called?

phototropism.


What is it called when a living thing growing from the ground grows toward the sun?

Phototropism is the phenomenon where a living thing growing from the ground, such as a plant, grows towards the sun. This process is driven by hormones that cause cells on the shaded side of the plant to elongate, bending the plant towards the light.


What is growth movement of a plant toward the light called?

phototropism.


When a plant grows toward light is the suns light the stimulus?

Yes, the sun's light is the stimulus that causes a plant to grow towards it, a process known as phototropism. The plant's cells detect the direction of the light source and auxin hormones help to promote growth on the shaded side, causing the plant to bend towards the sunlight.


A plant seedling grows toward the window and its roots reach into the soil what type of movement does the seedling show?

The plant seedling is exhibiting positive phototropism by growing towards the window where it can receive more light for photosynthesis. Additionally, the roots are demonstrating positive gravitropism by growing into the soil to anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients.


What are some cool ideas for a science project?

One origional science project is: growing a few plants, and with each plant put the light in a different area (ie: plant one gets the growing light on top, plant two gets the light on bottom, and plant three gets the light on the side). You can determine if the plants actually grow toward the light.


Plants lean toward the light because of plant hormones called what?

A growth hormone called auxin.


What is the tendency of a plant to grow toward a stimulus called?

The tendency of a plant to grow toward a stimulus is called positive tropism. This can be in response to light (phototropism), gravity (gravitropism), or touch (thigmotropism).


How do plants grow toward light?

Plants grow toward light through a process called phototropism, where they detect the direction of light using a hormone called auxin. This hormone helps cells on the shaded side of the plant elongate, causing the plant to bend and grow towards the light source.
