well the way that seeds know which way is up is because they are much smarter then you may think.

seeds have a sense of where the sunlight is and will continually thrive until they reach the area of sunlight and keep growing to get closer to the sunlight

hope that helps alot i am sure it will

warm regards

What do statoliths do?

Statoliths are specialized structures in plants that help detect gravity and orient growth accordingly. They function by settling in response to gravity, which triggers a hormonal signal directing the plant to grow in a specific direction. This allows roots to grow downward and shoots to grow upward, optimizing plant growth and development.


What is the difference between positive and negative gravitopism?

Positive gravitropism is the growth movement of a plant towards the gravity source, like roots growing downwards, while negative gravitropism is the growth movement away from the gravity source, like stems growing upwards. Both responses help plants optimize their growth in relation to gravity.


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


Seedlings respond to gravity?

Yes, plants, seeds, bulbs, etc, use gravity to determine the direction of root and stem growth, even in the absence of light. They may use starch statoliths and their reaction to gravity in this determination. This reaction to gravity is known as gravitropism. Gravity has other effects on plants as well.


A change in the direction a plant grows in response to gravity?

This change in direction is called gravitropism. Plants respond to gravity by growing roots downward (positive gravitropism) and shoots upward (negative gravitropism). This mechanism helps plants optimize their growth by maintaining stable positions in relation to gravity.

What is a gravity sensor?

A gravity sensor is a device that measures the acceleration due to gravity in a particular direction. It is commonly used in smartphones and other electronic devices to orient the screen display based on the device's position.

What is meaning of water level sensor?

Level sensors are designed to detect the level of substances that flow. The idea behind a water level sensor is that it can detect the level of water in any given scenario.


An astrounaut inside a small space ship orbiting around the earth cannot detect gravity.Can a space station of much bigger size than the space ship hope to detect gravity?

The chances are pretty low because it doesn't matter on the size to detect gravity.


What does PIR detect?

detect any changes in the environment (noise level, vibration, temperature)


An astronaut inside a small space ship orbiting around the earth cannot detect gravity.If the space station orbiting around the earth has a large size can he hope to detect gravity?

If the size of the space station is large enough, then the astronaut will detect the change in Earth's gravity (g).
