Growth of plants toward the light is called phototropism. Growth of plants in response to gravity is called geotropism or gravitropism.

∙ 12y agoA plant will often 'Lean' toward the light source and it's leaves will grow thicker and more often on the side where the most light shines. This can happen in a surprisingly short time span. Plant responses to light are known as phototropism

What is the name of the reaction?
response to water: hydrotropism, response to light: phototropism, response to chemicals: chemotropism, response to gravity: geotropism, response to touch: thigmatropism
What are the types of tropism with their description?
Phototropism is the response to light. Geotropism is the response to gravity. Chemotropism is the response to particular substances. Hydrotropism is the response to water. Thigmotropism is the response to mechanical stimulation. Traumatotropism is the response to wound lesion. Galvanotropism is the response to electric current.
What kind of tropism do roots play?
Gravitropism (also known as geotropism) is a turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. It is a general feature of all higher and many lower plants as well as other organisms. Wikipedia
Which part of the plant shows a positive response to gravity?
The roots of a plant exhibit positive geotropism or gravitropism because they grow toward the direction of the pull of gravity.
What is the growth of the plant part towards the earth called?
It is called geotropism.
Is gravity a response to geotropism?
No
Which of the following indicates a plant's response to gravity?
geotropism
What is a plant's response to gravity called?
A plant's response to gravity is called gravitropism or geotropism.
Which of these terms can be defined as a root's downward growth as a response to gravity?
geotropism
What terms can be defined as a root's downward growth as a response to gravity?
geotropism
Which of these terms can be defined as a root's downward groth as a response to gravity?
geotropism
What term can be defined as a root's downward growth as a response to gravity?
Geotropism
What is the name of the reaction?
response to water: hydrotropism, response to light: phototropism, response to chemicals: chemotropism, response to gravity: geotropism, response to touch: thigmatropism
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.
What kind of tropism is any movement or growth of a living organism in response to the force of gravity?
Gravitropism (also known as geotropism) is a turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. It is a general feature of all higher and many lower plants as well as other organisms. Wikipedia
What can be defined as a root's downward growth as a response to gravity?
A root's downward growth as a response to gravity is called positive gravitropism or positive geotropism.
What is a geotropism?
Gravitropism is a response to gravity. And the plant roots will follow the gravity also you cannot change the place where the roots will grow also if you will put it on the opposite side of the gravity it will also grow down.
