What is the main stimuli affecting the growth of the shoot of the plant?
light, positive phototropism and towards the light gravity, negative geotropism and grow in opposite direction to gravity NOT WATER
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.
How do potted plants respond to gravity if placed on their sides?
This is one method for drying off pots of bulbs as no water reaches the roots. With any other plants the growth will turn upwards towards the light. Eventually because of the lack of water the plant will die.
What causes a plant to grow upward?
Okay, well there is tropism and stimulus. The stimulus can be gravity, light, and touch. So it depends... If there is a window above the plant and it is reaching upwards towards it... then it would be light, and the plant's response would be reaching upward towards it.
What are examples of heliotropism?
Hydrotropism is observed when specific plants that exhibit it grow in response to water, similar to Gravitropism, growth dependent on gravity, and phototropism, growth dependent on light. A common example of hydrotropism is found in tomato roots, as they grow specifically towards water.
Do plants grow toward nutrients or towards gravity?
towards nutrients
How would you expect leaves and stems to grow in response to gravity?
Stems will always grow towards light and away from gravity.
In which direction do plants roots grow?
The roots of most plants grow towards the pull of gravity.
Which direction does the root grows?
They generally grow towards the pull of gravity.
How does gravitropism effect plants?
Gravity. Gravitropism is when an object either moves towards or away from the force of gravity
What is Positive gravi groth tropism?
Positive geotropism is where the roots grow towards gravity.
How do plants respond stimuli?
The stimuli that plants respond to include light, water and gravity. Plants grow towards light (phototropism). Also in some plants the flowers will follow the sun as it moves across the sky. Plant roots grow towards water (hydrotropism). Plant roots grow towards gravity/towards the centre of the earth (geotropism). Source(s): I'm a Biology teacher. this is bullcrap it is fake
What causes shoots and leaves to elongate?
Leaves and shoots grow towards light in a reaction known as phototropism. Similarly, an attribute called geotropism causes roots to grow down towards gravity.
What causes a plants root to grow downwards towards the pull of gravity?
The roots are attracted to moisture in the soil
Does gravity have anything to do with photosynthesis?
No, other factors influence the growth of plants (why they grow towards the light). Good luck!
Why not trees grow upside down due to gravity force?
Because gravity is not the only force involved. The plant need the sunlight, so it grows towards the Sun.
What is the main stimuli affecting the growth of the shoot of the plant?
light, positive phototropism and towards the light gravity, negative geotropism and grow in opposite direction to gravity NOT WATER
