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.
Iodine stain is commonly used to detect amyloplasts due to their ability to stain starch granules purple-black.
Auxins are plant hormones that play a key role in both phototropism (growth towards light) and gravitropism (growth in response to gravity). In phototropism, auxins accumulate on the shaded side of the stem, promoting cell elongation and bending towards the light source. In gravitropism, auxins redistribute in response to gravity, causing differential growth and either upward (negative gravitropism) or downward (positive gravitropism) bending of the stem.
Amyloplasts are organelles without any pigments found in some plant cells. Large numbers can be found in underground storage tissues of some plants, such as in potato tubers.Amyloplasts and chloroplasts are closely related, and amyloplasts can turn into chloroplasts; this is can be seen when potato tubers are exposed to light and turn green
Amyloplasts are non-pigmented organelles found in some plant cells. They are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules, through the polymerization of glucose.[1] Amyloplasts also convert this starch back into sugar when the plant needs energy. Large numbers of amyloplasts can be found in fruit and in underground storage tissues of some plants, such as inpotato tubers. Amyloplasts are starch grains.Amyloplasts are plastids, specifically leucoplasts. Plastids are a specialized class of cellular organelles that carry their own genome and are believed to be descendants of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) which formed a symbiotic relationship with the eukaryotic cell.Starch synthesis and storage also takes place in chloroplasts, a type of pigmented plastid involved in photosynthesis. Amyloplasts and chloroplasts are closely related, and amyloplasts can turn into chloroplasts; this is for instance observed when potato tubers are exposed to light and turn green.
The growth of a plant part towards the Earth is called gravitropism. This is a plant's response to gravity, where roots grow downward (positive gravitropism) and stems grow upwards (negative gravitropism).
Elongation of the meristematic tissue
well the scientific meaning of it is no because of gravitropism. gravitropism is the force of gravity on plant. dont know what gravitropism is: wikipedia search: gravitropism.
Positive gravitropism, as the roots grow towards gravity by growing downwards into the soil.
Gravitropism is a noun, and I do not know what it is. ^^^ is the answer to the question! Hope it helped! Please vote!
Is gravitropism why the seed is growing towards gravity?Yes gravitropism is why the roots go towards the center of the Earth.

This change in direction is called gravitropism. Plants respond to gravity by growing roots downward (positive gravitropism) and shoots upward (negative gravitropism). This mechanism helps plants optimize their growth by maintaining stable positions in relation to gravity.
