What else can I help you with?
What determines the direction roots grow?
toward the sun light..................:)
How do plants detect their level of gravity?
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 Surf babe
How does a plastid function within a cell?
There are no plastids in chromoplasts per se. Chromoplasts are a type of plastids. Chromoplasts store pigments which give color to certain parts of the plant and allow it to absorb certain wavelengths of light. Chloroplasts are a type of chromoplast that contain chlorophyll pigment and are the site of photosynthesis.
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.
What substance is found in statocysts?
A small organ of balance and orientation in some aquatic invertebrates, consisting of a sensory vesicle or cell containing statoliths.
The function of the rhopalium is?
They are used as sensory structures. They sense light (ocelli) and perceive gravity (statoliths) are usually present. They also control the pace of swimming-muscle contraction.
What is statocyst?
A statocyst is a sensory organ found in invertebrates, like mollusks and arthropods, that helps them maintain balance and orientation. It contains tiny particles called statoliths that move in response to gravity, allowing the organism to sense its body position relative to gravity.
How does roots grow when the direction of gravity changes?
Plant roots have specialized cells called statoliths that can sense changes in the direction of gravity. When the direction of gravity changes, these cells direct the growth of the roots in a new direction to ensure that the roots continue to grow downward, towards the center of the Earth. This process is known as gravitropism.

How are amyloplasts thought to be related to gravitropism?
Amyloplasts are specialized organelles containing starch granules, which act as statoliths in gravity perception. In gravitropic responses in plant roots, amyloplasts settle to the bottom of cells under gravity, leading to a redistribution of auxin that triggers differential growth and curvature in response to gravity. This mechanism helps plants orient themselves appropriately and grow in the direction of gravity.
What is the function of plastide?
In plastids function varies with plastid type. Leucoplasts main function is storage, subtypes of leucoplasts include amyloplasts (store starch granules), proteinoplasts (store proteins) and elaioplasts (store oils). Statoliths are a type of amyloplasts that are used as a gravity sensing mechanism by the roots. A type of plastids called chromoplasts store pigments. Chloroplasts are a type of chromoplast that contain chlorophyll pigment and are the site of photosynthesis.

How long are giant squid when they are born?
Growth and reproductionUnlike most fish, squid have a different strategy for reproduction. In association with a short life span, giant squid reproduce once, releasing millions of eggs, then die.How long does it take to become a giant? Like people, large mammals such as elephants, whales, and even gorillas take many years to grow large, mature and reproduce. Most larger fish also require many years to reach adult size. On the contrary, cephalopods actually grow very quickly and die after a short life. Short lives and high rates of reproduction are their hallmarks. The giant octopus, a sizeable animal at 1/20th the weight of a mature giant squid, lives just 2-3 years. Evidence from statoliths (solid calcium carbonate granules) found in the statocyst, the organ responsible for equilibrium(balance and stability), suggests that giant squid live no more than five years. This means that the growth rate of giant squid is extremely rapid. It is one thing to be a fast-growing squid that reaches maturity at 12 inches (30 cm), and quite another to grow to nearly 60 feet (18 m) within a few years! To grow at such a rate, giant squid have to be in areas where there is an abundant supply of food; they would need to eat enormous quantities on a continuous basis. They must be feeding machines!Bibliography:http://invertebrates.si.edu/giant_squid/page4.html
