∙ 13y agoAn example is that of plant roots growing in humid air: they bend towards the higher relative humidity level.
It should be AN instead of A

∙ 14y agoThe roots of the plants tend to grow toward where they detect more water or humidity, though this does not usually occur in nature only in labs where plants are grown in humid air

What do plants showing hydrotropism grow in response to?
hydrotropism is the positive response that plant roots give when there is water or a moisture gradient nearby, which means they growth towards the water
What is the biological importance of hydrotropism and phototropism?
The biological importance of hydrotropism and phototropism in plants is that they help increase the efficiency of the plants in their ecosystem. Hydrotropism has to do with the efficiency of using water while phototropism has to do with sunlight.
Need a sentence for the word hydrotropism?
Hydro-tropism is a word for plants growing away from moisture. There are many plants which exhibit hydro-tropism.
Is Hydro tropism stronger than Geo tropism?
This can be shown as some pea seedling reverse their geotropic response and grow upward to damp vermiculite(moist saw dust) this shows hydrotropism is stronger than geotropism
What is a factor that causes a response in plants?
Because plants were designed too be effient, and they will make minor changes to promote efficiency
What do plants showing hydrotropism grow in response to?
hydrotropism is the positive response that plant roots give when there is water or a moisture gradient nearby, which means they growth towards the water

The biological importance of hydrotropism and phototropism in plants is that they help increase the efficiency of the plants in their ecosystem. Hydrotropism has to do with the efficiency of using water while phototropism has to do with sunlight.
Hydrotropism is a response to?
Water
What do hydrotropism plants grow in response to?
water
How could auxins cause hydrotropism?
yup
What is a sentence example of hyrdrotropism?
We observed the hydrotropism of the plants.
How do auxins cause hydrotropism?
Roots show positive hydrotropism and grow in the direction of water. This tropism causes problems in many cities where tree roots grow toward the drain pipes, and grow into the cracks, and plug up the drains. Hydrotropism causes plants to bend or turn toward water.
Tree roots may grow into drain pipes what is this called?
Hydrotropism
Plants showing hydrotropism grow in response to .?
Water. you're welcome GradPoint :)
What are 4 examples of tropism?
geotropism (also known as gravitropism), phototropism, and hydrotropism.
What are 5 types of tropism?
The 5 types of tropism are geotropism, phototropsim, hydrotropism, chemotropsim, and thingmotropism.
What are examples of heliotropism?
Hydrotropism is observed when specific plants that exhibit it grow in response to water, similar to Gravitropism, growth dependent on gravity, and phototropism, growth dependent on light. A common example of hydrotropism is found in tomato roots, as they grow specifically towards water.
