There are auxins in plants (They help the plant in it upward growth). They tend to move away from direct sunlight.so when the plant is directly casted by light, the auxins in the plant move to the other side of the plant that has less light, thus their concentration becomes more on one side (the side with less light). Now since they help in the plant growth, the side of the plant with more of the auxins tends to grow faster than the side with less auxins, therefore the plant bends towards the light.

The name of the response of plants to light?

a "tropism"; geotropism for response to gravity and phototropism for response to light


What are the 4 plant tropisms?

OK there's 4 tropisms hydro tropism (when plant grows towards water) thigmatropism, (when plant grows towards touch) gravitropism (grows right side up is turned upside down) and photo tropism (grows towards light)


Is a plant growing towards light a response or stimulus?

It is a response called phototropism, where the plant grows towards light as a result of the stimulus of light perception.


What happens when a plant gets light from only one direction?

The plant will exhibit phototropism, where it bends towards the light source in order to optimize photosynthesis. This response allows the plant to maximize the utilization of light for energy production. Over time, the plant may grow asymmetrically as a result of the unidirectional light exposure.


Which of these terms can be defined as a plant's response to light?

Phototropism refers to a plant's response to light, where the plant grows toward or away from a light source.


When a plants stem bends toward light it is said to be an example of photsynthesis or evaporation?

Phtosynthesis


What is a directional plant response?

A directional plant response, also known as tropism, is the growth or movement of a plant in response to a directional stimulus, such as light, gravity, or touch. For example, phototropism is when a plant grows towards a light source. These responses allow plants to adjust their growth and development to optimize their chances of survival and reproduction.


Why do plants grow faster in blue light?

What happens when a plant gets light from one direction?

What is the response of plants to periods of light and dark?

What is phototropism what does have to do with plants?

Tropism is the growth response of a plant caused by a stimulus. Gravitropism is the growth response of plant to gravity. The roots grow downward towards gravity, which is called positive gravitropism. The stem and upper part of a plant grow upward, away from gravity, which is called negative gravitropism.
