What is a plant's movement away from or toward a stimulus?
Tropism is the movement of a plant away from or toward a stimulus. The most easily found example of tropism is a plant's response to light. Plants tend to grow toward the light. This tendency is called 'phototropism'.
What is tropic movement?
when the fixed part of a stationary plant moves in response to a stimulus the reaction is known as tropic movement.or the movement in which fixed part of stationary plant moves in response to a stimulus is known as tropic movement or tropism.
A plant's growth response toward or away from a stimulus is called a?
Tropism
What do you call a plant response?
Phototropism, where the plant "turns" to arrange its leaves for better exposure to light. This process is regulated by growth regulators in the plant. Photo = light Tropism from the Greek "trope" or turning. See picture

What is the plant's response to the stimulus?
Tropism is the response plants have towards external stimulus.
What is a plant response to a stimulus called?
Tropism is the response plants have towards external stimulus.
What is troprism?
Tropism: An involuntary orienting response; positive or negative reaction to a stimulus source. An example would be the involuntary movement of a plant towards sunlight.
What is the difference between taxis and tropism?
Tropism: is the growth response of a plant that results from certain stimuli. Tropism can be positive, in which case the plant will bend toward the stimulus, or negative, in which case the plant will bend away from stimulus. Taxis: Taxis in animals is the responsive movement of going toward or away from an external stimulus.
What is tropic movement?
when the fixed part of a stationary plant moves in response to a stimulus the reaction is known as tropic movement.or the movement in which fixed part of stationary plant moves in response to a stimulus is known as tropic movement or tropism.
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 is meant by chemotropism?
Tropism is defined as the movement, generally by a plant, due to outside stimuli; direction of sunlight being a primary stimulus. Chemotropism is defined as oriented growth or movement in response to a chemical stimulus.
What is the relationship between stimulus and tropism?
Stimulus is any kind of change in substances or in happenings, occurs in the surrounding of a living thing that bring about any kind of response from it.Tropism is the way by which plants respond to the stimuli. These kind of plant responses are either MOVEMENTS OR GROWTH of plat parts in particular directions.For Eg:-1. Leaves of 'touch me not plant' folds its leaves on our touch.2. plant roots grows towards the direction water availability.
A plant's growth response toward or away from a stimulus is called a?
Tropism
What is the word for a Plant that grows towards the light?
phototropic (details from another answer) movement of or growth of plant in response to external stimulus. e.g. growth of root towards gravity - geotropism growth of shoot towards the light - phototropism hydrotropism is exhibited by lengthening of roots towards water source and finally, thigmotropism is growth towards solid objects -support by climbers
What are chemo tropism and hydro tropism?
Chemotropism : The movement of plant parts in response to chemical stimulus is called chemotropism. example- formation of pollen tube by pollen grains in order to transfer male gamete to the ovary. Hydrotropism : The movement of plant parts in response to water is called hydrotropism. example- movement of roots in search of water.
