What is a sentence for the word phototropic?
a flower is phototrophic because it is moving toward the sun
Are shoots negatively phototropic?
No, they are positively phototropic as they grow towards light.
What are instinctive behaviors of plants?
Tropism is the easiest plant behavior to recognize; it means growing in a particular direction. Phototropic plants, for example, grow toward the sun. Plants also send their roots down or sideways based on the climate, in order to find water (hydrotropism).
Are orchids hydrangeas and irises all plants?
Yes they are all plants.
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
How is a plant shoot positively photo tropic?
Phototropic is a word to describe if the plant moves towards light sources or away from light sources. Positively phototropic means it moves towards light. Most, perhaps all, plants will grow towards a light source. Plants need light energy so they have evolved to grow in the direction of the best light. Negatively phototropic means it moves away from light. Vampires are known to be negatively phototropic.
What is a sentence for the word phototropic?
a flower is phototrophic because it is moving toward the sun
What part of speech is phototropic?
Phototropic is an adjective.
Are shoots negatively phototropic?
No, they are positively phototropic as they grow towards light.
What is a synonym for phototropic?
Light-seeking.
What is the physical basis of the phototropic response?
Phototropic response in plants is based on the redistribution of the plant hormone auxin, which promotes cell elongation on the shaded side of the plant, causing it to bend towards the light source. This redistribution is mediated by photoreceptors called phototropins, which sense the direction of light and trigger the movement of auxin to induce the plant's growth towards light.
Which direction dose a sunflower point?
Sunflowers are phototropic, so they face the sun.
The phototropic response to light occurs where?
The phototropic response to light occurs in plant cells, specifically in specialized cells called photoreceptors. These photoreceptors detect the direction and intensity of light and trigger a growth response in the plant, causing it to grow towards the light source. This response helps the plant optimize its exposure to light for photosynthesis.
What is the physical basis of the phototropic response in plants?
Tropisms are growthg responses in plants in which the direction of growth depends on the direction of the stimulus. Phototropism is the response to light. The shoots of plants are positively phototropic (grow towards the light) while the roots are negatively phototropic (grow away from light).Experiments carried out in 1880 by Charles Darwin and his son Francis showed that the stimulus was detected by the tip of the shoot but the bending response took place just below the tip.In 1913 the Dutch plant physiologist Boysen-Jensen showed that a chemical substance produced in the tip of the shoot passed to the bending region to cause the response and that this substance passed down the shaded side of the shoot.F. W.Went extracted the growth substance which was identified as auxin. He showed that the phototropic response was due to the unequal distribution of auxin in the shoot. More auxin accumulates on the shaded side of the shoot and causes more rapid cell elongation on that side, so that the shoot bent over towards the light.See related links below
How does a plant that is positively phototropic respond to light?
it grows towards the light.
How does a phototropic heterotroph obligate aerobe obtain energy?

What are examples of phototropic?
Phototropism is the act of a plant growing towards a light source. An example of this would be a houseplant that grows toward a window. Sunflowers are another example of phototropism as they grow straight upward when surrounded by larger plants.
