How does tropism work on plants?
It occurs so that the plant will always place the broad side of it's leaves toward the Sun.
What do plants and animals have in common in their responses to stimuli?
It depends on the organism ... and how it's capable of responding. After all, trees never run away, and animals seldom turn their faces toward the sun.
Why do plants lean toward light?
phototropism,
Why do plants turn their Leaves to the sun?
Plants grow toward the sun because the side of the plant that is shaded grows faster. Very simple concept; think about this. A plant is under (let's say) a bench and light shines only one side. That plant heads toward the sun because the side without light is now grwoing faster, thus leaning toward the sun.
Which response is result of geotropism?
Growth of plants toward the light is called phototropism. Growth of plants in response to gravity is called geotropism or gravitropism.
Do plants face towards the light or away form it?
Well, the leaves tend to face toward the light.

The leaves of plants always grow toward sunlighthow does this behavioral adaptation help keep the plant alive?
the organism act in response to their environment
Which of the following is an example of a plant responding to an external stimulus?
The stem of a plant bends and grows toward a source of light.The shoot of a plant grows in the opposite direction of gravitational pull.The roots of a plant grow towardwater-rich soil.
Can plantae move?
I have been walking in the woods in shorts and saw the tip of a nettle bend toward me until the leaves hit my leg and stung me. Plants also do move to orient their leaves and/or flowers toward the sun. Other than that, plant movement is environmental (wind, rain, gravity).

What does leaves grow toward?
light
You observe a plant on your windowsill that grow at an angle toward the outside This is an example of a living things?
Responding to stimuli.
What is a plants response to gravity?
(meaning: tropo; turning, bending; geo, earth) The innate condition in plants to grow their roots toward gravity. The same happens with the leaves that grow towards the sun; this instead is called phototropism.
Carry water to the leaves and carry sugar and oxygen from the leaves to the living parts of the plant that need it?
Xylem carries water from the roots to toward the leaves. Phloem carries sugar and nutrients from the leaves toward the roots. Oxygen is transported by diffusion, NOT by the liquid transport system.
Why do plants lean toward light?
phototropism,
How does sunlight affect the direction that a plant goes?
Plants use sunlight to make energy and most plants tend to take in sunlight through their leaves and/or petals (of the flowers) because they are the broadest part of the plant (and therefore have the most "receptors" for the light). This is why the plants often seem to "turn" toward the sun. In other words, if a plant only gets sun from one direction, its leaves will be turned in that direction to collect the sunlight and it may grow in that direction (either on a tilt or send runners out that way). Some plants (such as sunflower) move with the sun throughout the day to maximize the amount of sunlight it collects. Short answer, plants generally grow toward the sun (or the direction where they get the most sunlight).
