What is the meaning of gravitropism?
Gravitropism is when the roots grow deeper into the soil with the force of gravity pushing it. Wow, I'm in elementary school and my first person ever asking me something. It's a pleasure answering your question. I wish you luck on what ever your doing.
What is an organism that shows positive and negative gravitropism?
Gravitropism (or geotropism) is a turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. Charles Darwin was one of the first Europeans to document that roots show positive gravitropism and stems show negative gravitropism. That is, roots grow in the direction of gravitational pull (i.e., downward) and stems grow in the opposite direction (i.e., upwards). This behaviour can be easily demonstrated with a potted plant. When laid onto its side, the growing parts of the stem begin to display negative gravitropism, bending (biologists say, turning; see tropism) upwards. Herbaceous (non-woody) stems are capable of a small degree of actual bending, but most of the redirected movement occurs as a consequence of root or stem growth in a new direction.B_TCH SH_T MOTHER F_UCKER
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).
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 may be a cause of root gravitropism?
The settling of cell parts with enough mass on bottom of cells may trigger a pressure-sensitive effect from the ER or plasmelemma
What is dichotomous response?
A dichotomous response would be a response that is divided into two different parts these being a clearlydefined parts which would be classeified as part 0 and part 1.
Why is gravitropism a crucial plant adaptation?
Gravitropism is a plant's ability to grow in accordance to gravity. The roots of a plant are 'programed' to grow towards gravity (positively geotropic, down) and the stems are 'programed' to grow away from gravity (negatively geotropic, up). Plants do have some roots and stems that are not affected by gravity, these are ageotropic. Other parts grow at right angles to gravity, they are plageotropic. All these different forms of Gravitropism give a plant its shape; without this a plant would not be able to anchor itself in the ground, find sunlight, or grow properly in accordance to its surroundings.
What is Geo-Tropism?
Geotropism is a plant growth or movement in response to gravity. Upward growth of the plant's parts against gravity is called negative geotropism, whilst downward growth of roots is called positive geotropism.

yes
What is a book response?
A book response is writing about the book you read. Such as favorite parts of the book, what happened, what you didn't like,etc.
