What is the word for a Plant that grows towards the light?
phototropic (details from another answer) movement of or growth of plant in response to external stimulus. e.g. growth of root towards gravity - geotropism growth of shoot towards the light - phototropism hydrotropism is exhibited by lengthening of roots towards water source and finally, thigmotropism is growth towards solid objects -support by climbers
How does growth take place in a plant and where it take place in a plant?
The growth in plants takes place in root and shoot apices. Some intercallary meristem cells also divide and add to growth.
How is the movement of leaves of the sensitive plant different from the movement of a shoot towards 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
Which is the significance of the tunica in plant growth In the tunica cell divisions are parallel to the stem axis giving rise to thin layers of tissues covering the inside of the tip. In the tunica c?
Tunica is significant in the growth of the plants. This is what enables a plant to shoot and fully develop to a complete plant.
What are all the parts of the Stem and Shoot?
The stem is the main axis of the plant to which flowers, leaves, and fruits are attached. A "shoot" is a very general term, not very scientifically accurate, but is generally used to mean an area of new growth which would consist of stem, leaves and/or flowers (a shoot from a bulb would contain all parts except for the root, a shoot from a tree would have a stem and leaves at the minimum).
What is the hormone that controls growth of a plant shoot called?
Auxins

What has the author R F Williams written?
R. F. Williams has written: 'The shoot apex and leaf growth' -- subject(s): Growth, Growth (Plants), Leaves, Phyllotaxis, Shoot apexes
What is the physical basis of the phototropic response in plants?
Tropisms are growthg responses in plants in which the direction of growth depends on the direction of the stimulus. Phototropism is the response to light. The shoots of plants are positively phototropic (grow towards the light) while the roots are negatively phototropic (grow away from light).Experiments carried out in 1880 by Charles Darwin and his son Francis showed that the stimulus was detected by the tip of the shoot but the bending response took place just below the tip.In 1913 the Dutch plant physiologist Boysen-Jensen showed that a chemical substance produced in the tip of the shoot passed to the bending region to cause the response and that this substance passed down the shaded side of the shoot.F. W.Went extracted the growth substance which was identified as auxin. He showed that the phototropic response was due to the unequal distribution of auxin in the shoot. More auxin accumulates on the shaded side of the shoot and causes more rapid cell elongation on that side, so that the shoot bent over towards the light.See related links below

New growth at the tips of a Coleus root and shoot takes place at the?
The meristem is the location at which new growth of the shoot and the tips of a coleus root takes place. Mitosis occurs in the undifferentiated cells found in the meristem.
Where does the New growth at the tips of coleus root and shoot takes place at?
I like trains! :)
