What is positive thigmotropism?

Positive thigmotropism is a term used in plant biology. Thigmotropism is a growth response to touch either towards (positive) or away from a stimulus (negative). Roots of plants typically show a negative thigmotropic response when they come in contact with an object in the soil such as a rock. The roots will curve away from the object. Positive thigmotropism can be seen in vines. When a vine comes into contact with an object, the side of the vine that did not touch the object will grow slightly faster than the side with the contact. This causes the vine to curve towards the object and wrap around it, giving the plant added structural support. The plant is able to perceive the touch sensation and alter its growth pattern. There are many more examples out there ... but roots and vines are the most common. And remember: Tropisms only occur when the plant is growing.

How do you direct electrical charge away from an object?

An electrical charge is attracted to a conducter (ie a material which conducts such as copper) therefore you can either use something more conductive leading away, or insulate the object.


What effect does a negative object have on a neutral object?

If the event horizon (space, in this case) of one of the items is breeched by the other and touch, the neutral object becomes negatively charged. If they never touch, they both remain in their present condition. The neutral object's condition will never affect the charge of the negatively charged object, whether they touch or do not touch. The negatively charged item's condition will never change, regardless of physical touch between the two items. ***************Contributed by Czar Acumen*******************
