Movement in response to light is called phototaxis, and in response to chemicals is chemotaxis. More specifically, movement towards a stimulus is positive and away from is negative. For example, positive chemotaxis is movement of a cell towards nutrients.
A responsive movement of a plant that is not dependent on the direction of the stimulus is called a non-directional or non-tropic movement. Examples of non-directional movements in plants include thigmonasty (response to touch), nastic movements (response to changes in environmental conditions), and nyctinasty (response to changes in light).
movement in sensitive plants : d movement in sensitive plant leaves takes place in response to touch stimulus.eg:touch-me-not plant movement of a shoot towards light: When sunlight/light falls from 1 direction one shoot,d growth hormone auxin diffuses towards the shady side of shoot.this increased concentration of auxin stimulates the cells 2 grow longer on the shaded side of the shoot.dis enhanced growth 1 side cause bending of shoot 2wards light
Sonotropism, movement or growth in response to sound.
Kinesis
A reaction
Movement in response to light is called phototaxis, and in response to chemicals is chemotaxis. More specifically, movement towards a stimulus is positive and away from is negative. For example, positive chemotaxis is movement of a cell towards nutrients.
)Movement or activity of an organism in response to a stimulus such as light.
The responses of plants to external stimuli is called Tropism.Here are some tropisms:* Chemotropism, movement or growth in response to chemicals * Geotropism (or gravitropism), movement or growth in response to gravity * Heliotropism, movement or growth in response to sunlight * Hydrotropism, movement or growth in response to water * Phototropism, movement or growth in response to lights or colors of light * Thermotropism, movement or growth in response to temperature.
Response means reaction, as in a movement, change, or emission (like heat, light, or sound).
A responsive movement of a plant that is not dependent on the direction of the stimulus is called a non-directional or non-tropic movement. Examples of non-directional movements in plants include thigmonasty (response to touch), nastic movements (response to changes in environmental conditions), and nyctinasty (response to changes in light).
The Lombard's movement, also known as the Lombard reflex, is an automatic upward movement of the eyes that occurs in response to increased ambient light. This reflex helps protect the eyes from bright light by causing the eyes to raise or squint to reduce the amount of light entering the eye.
The Progressive Movement was mainly a response to the industrialization and urbanization of the United States.
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.
Phototropism, where the plant "turns" to arrange its leaves for better exposure to light. This process is regulated by growth regulators in the plant. Photo = light Tropism from the Greek "trope" or turning. See picture
chemonastic movement is a response to a diffuse chemical substance
France took control of the Vietnamese in response to Britain's movement in Burma.
