How do Positive photo tropism and positive gravitropism occur?

Gravitropism is responce to Earth's gravity. If you are talking about plants then a Positive gravitropism grows towards gravity (like roots of plant). A Negative gravitroism grows away from gravity (Like the stems of plants). Hope this help :P


Is Hydro tropism stronger than Geo tropism?

No, geotropism is typically stronger than hydrotropism in plant responses. Geotropism is the growth or movement of plants in response to gravity, while hydrotropism is the growth or movement of plants in response to water. Geotropism is essential for plant roots to grow downwards towards gravity, while hydrotropism helps roots grow towards water sources.


What is plant growth response to touch called?

Venus fly trap and the sundew plant (both carnivorous) respond to the touch of their prey. Mimosa pudica (called sensitive plant, touch-me-not, shy plant or tickleme plant) also responds to touch. The cells in the leaf quickly shed water, lose their rigidity and let the leaf droop away from the touch. After a few minutes the leaf returns to normal.


What process causes the plants stem to bend toward the light?

This is due to tropic movement(tropism) in plants in which the fixed part of a plant(such as stem) moves in response to a stimulus.If the stimulus is light(as you have asked) then it is termed as Phototropism.And further more stem shows positive phototropism.
