An oriented movement in response to light or chemical stimuli?

Movement in response to light is called phototaxis, and in response to chemicals is chemotaxis. More specifically, movement towards a stimulus is positive and away from is negative. For example, positive chemotaxis is movement of a cell towards nutrients.


What is a responsive movement of a plant that is not dependent on the direction of the stimulus is called?

A responsive movement of a plant that is not dependent on the direction of the stimulus is called a non-directional or non-tropic movement. Examples of non-directional movements in plants include thigmonasty (response to touch), nastic movements (response to changes in environmental conditions), and nyctinasty (response to changes in light).


What is tactic movement of plants give description?

Tactic movement in plants refers to their ability to grow and orient themselves in response to external stimuli such as light, gravity, and touch. This movement helps plants optimize their growth and maximize their chances of survival by adjusting their growth direction and position according to varying environmental conditions. Examples of tactic movements in plants include phototropism (growth towards light), gravitropism (response to gravity), and thigmotropism (response to touch).


How is the movement of leaves of the sensitive plant different from the movement of a shoot towards light?

movement in sensitive plants : d movement in sensitive plant leaves takes place in response to touch stimulus.eg:touch-me-not plant movement of a shoot towards light: When sunlight/light falls from 1 direction one shoot,d growth hormone auxin diffuses towards the shady side of shoot.this increased concentration of auxin stimulates the cells 2 grow longer on the shaded side of the shoot.dis enhanced growth 1 side cause bending of shoot 2wards light


Random movement in response to a stimulus is called?

Random movement in response to a stimulus is called kinesis. Kinesis is a non-directional response where the organism changes its rate of movement in response to a stimulus, but not the direction.

What does response mean in science term?

Response means reaction, as in a movement, change, or emission (like heat, light, or sound).


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 is tropic movement?

when the fixed part of a stationary plant moves in response to a stimulus the reaction is known as tropic movement.or the movement in which fixed part of stationary plant moves in response to a stimulus is known as tropic movement or tropism.


What is a plant's movement away from or toward a stimulus?

Tropism is the movement of a plant away from or toward a stimulus. The most easily found example of tropism is a plant's response to light. Plants tend to grow toward the light. This tendency is called 'phototropism'.

Examples of non-directional movements in plants include thigmonasty (response to touch), nastic movements (response to changes in environmental conditions), and nyctinasty (response to changes in light).


What is the Lombard's movement?

The Lombard's movement, also known as the Lombard reflex, is an automatic upward movement of the eyes that occurs in response to increased ambient light. This reflex helps protect the eyes from bright light by causing the eyes to raise or squint to reduce the amount of light entering the eye.
