Directional stimuli are environmental stimuli, particularly light and sound, that the direction of which it comes and the direction of the response to the stimulus are of upmost importance. Non-directional stimuli are those where receptors do not detect the direction from which they come. Chemical stimuli are usually not directional.

Explandiate the following tropic movement chemotropismgalvanotropismand trantotropism?

Chemotropism is the directional growth or movement of an organism in response to chemical stimuli, guiding its movement towards or away from the source. Galvanotropism is the directional growth or movement of an organism in response to electrical stimuli. Thigmotropism is the directional growth or movement of an organism in response to physical touch or contact with a solid surface.


What do you call things such as light touch and gravity that cause plant growth responses?

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


The responses of plants to external stimuli are called?

The responses of plants to external stimuli is called Tropism.Here are some tropisms:* Chemotropism, movement or growth in response to chemicals * Geotropism (or gravitropism), movement or growth in response to gravity * Heliotropism, movement or growth in response to sunlight * Hydrotropism, movement or growth in response to water * Phototropism, movement or growth in response to lights or colors of light * Thermotropism, movement or growth in response to temperature.


What are the three major types of stimuli for endocrine glands?

The three major types of stimuli for endocrine glands are: Humoral stimuli, which respond to changes in blood levels of ions or nutrients. Neural stimuli, which are initiated by the nervous system. Hormonal stimuli, which are triggered by other hormones from the hypothalamus or anterior pituitary gland.

What is nondirectional hypothesis?

A non-directional hypothesis only proposes a relationship. In contrast, a directional hypothesis also proposes a direction in the relationship. For example, when one variable increases, the other will decrease.

What is meant by a distinctive stimuli?

Distinctive stimuli are specific cues or events that stand out from the background or are different from the usual environment, prompting a stronger response or reaction. These stimuli can capture attention more effectively and lead to unique behavioral responses.


Distinguish nastic non directional movements from tropic responses?

Nastic movements are non-directional responses to external stimuli, triggered by changes in environmental factors like temperature or humidity. These movements are not correlated with the direction of the stimulus. Tropic responses, on the other hand, involve directional growth or movement of an organism in response to a stimulus, such as phototropism (response to light) or gravitropism (response to gravity).
