only plants no animals


How are geotropism and phototropism similar?

Both geotropism and phototropism involve plant growth responses to external stimuli. Geotropism is a plant's growth response to gravity, which helps roots grow downward and stems grow upward. Phototropism is a plant's growth response to light, guiding plants towards a light source for photosynthesis. Both tropisms aid plants in optimizing their growth and development.


What is the difference between phototropism and geotropism?

Phototropism - towards light. Think plants, flowers, leaves. They generally turn towards light.Geotropism - towards the earth. Go figure.Hydrotropism - towards water or towards moisture.


What is a non example of geotropism?

For example a pot that has not fallen down


The name of the response of plants to light?

a "tropism"; geotropism for response to gravity and phototropism for response to light


What are 4 examples of tropism?

Phototropism: the growth of plants in response to light, such as bending towards a light source. Geotropism (gravitropism): the growth of plants in response to gravity, such as roots growing downward and stems growing upward. Thigmotropism: the growth response of plants to touch or mechanical stimuli, such as vines coiling around a support. Hydrotropism: the growth response of plants in search of water, where roots grow towards a water source.


Which response is result of geotropism?

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


What are some examples of negative geotropism?

A few examples of negative geotropism in plants include roots growing upwards in response to gravity (negative gravitropism), stems bending away from the ground to grow upwards (negative phototropism), and leaves folding upwards in response to touch or vibration (negative thigmotropism).


What is the growth of plant roots down word and shoots upward called?

Elongation of the meristematic tissue


What is the importance of positive phototropism?

Positive gravitropism (plants grow up) benefits the plant because it has a better root structure. It is an adaption of plants to gravitropism which has a weak root system, however it is beneficial in certain areas for plants to be gravitropes.


What controls geotropism and phototropism?

When the auxins in the plant act towards gravity... positive geotropism is wen the plant goes to the direction of gravity which would be downwards..negative geotropism would be upwards going against the natural gravity Phototropism is when the plant reacts towards the photosynthesis conditions where when light acts on the plant so the auxins burst and the plant bends towards light..this is positive phototropism...but when the plant goes against the direction of light it is then negative phototropism


What are kinds of tropism?

phototropism-responce to llight geotropism-responce to gravity thigmotropism-responce to touch hydrotropism-responce to water
