Why do the roots of plants bend away from sun light?
why roots of plant grow away from light
Will soil be more easily washed away by the rain if there are plants growing on it or if there are no plants growing on it?
The soil will be easily washed away if there are no plants growing on it as it is the roots of the plants that hold on to the soil making it difficult to be washed away.
How do the stem of a plant respond to light?
The shoot of a plant grows towards light and the roots away from light
What is negative tropism?
...Negative tropism is a change in text of a song due to mishearing the lyrics or inaccurate memory of the lyrics. It results in multiple versions of songs after a while. It is very common in English and Scottish balladry, as well as in Appalachian ballads.
Stems and leaves grow using positive what?
stems and leaves grow using positive phototropism. That means growing towards the source of light. Mostly we reffer to the sun in this case. Even so, stems and roots can as well grow away from the source of light, that is negative phototropism.

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 are the effects of the tropisms caused by light and gravity?
A tropism is a growth response whose direction is determined by the direction of the stimulus. Growth towards the stimulus is called a positive tropism. Growth away from the stimulus is called a negative tropism. The response to light is called phototropism. Shoots are positively phototropic, roots are negatively phototropic. The response to gravity is called gravitropism (or sometimes geotropism). Shoots are negatively gravitropic and roots are positively gravitropic. http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/T/Tropisms.html
How can trees and other plants cause weathering?
they cause it by their roots growing into rocks and breaking up the rocks. After the rocks have been broken up by trees and plants' roots, water and air will wash it away, and eventually dissolve it.
What is the difference between positive and negitve geotropism?
Geotropism (also called gravitropism) is the turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. Roots show positive geotropism (grow toward gravity - down) and stems show negative geotropism (grow away from gravity - up).
How do Positive photo tropism and positive gravitropism occur?
Gravitropism is responce to Earth's gravity. If you are talking about plants then a Positive gravitropism grows towards gravity (like roots of plant). A Negative gravitroism grows away from gravity (Like the stems of plants). Hope this help :P
Growing toward light is phototroprism?
Your spelling is a bit off ---- phototropism is the tendency of an organism to turn or move toward (positive phototropism) or away from (negative phototropism) light.
What is the name for a plant's growth response to gravity?
Certain plants react to gravity by growing against it or towards it. It is the tropism of gravity called a geotropism. For example, if a potted plant falls over then it will continue to grow towards the sky. If a mudslide occurs and it drastically tilts the land where a tree grows, the tropism allows the tree to grow upwards. Alternatively, geotropism works for roots as well. Roots will respond to gravity by growing downwards. It can be observed that no matter which way a seed is planted the roots and the shoots respond to gravity in opposite ways. Plant hormones, auxins are responsible for this response. Phototropism is the response of plants to light.
