What else can I help you with?
A plant's growth response toward or away from a stimulus is called a?
tropism. Tropisms can result in growth toward (positive) or away from (negative) a stimulus, such as light or gravity.
Plants lean toward the light because of plant hormones called what?
A growth hormone called auxin.
What is it called when a stem grows up?
Gravitropism (also known as geotropism) is a turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. It is a general feature of all higher and many lower plants as well as other organisms. Wikipedia
Which response is result of geotropism?
Growth of plants toward the light is called phototropism. Growth of plants in response to gravity is called geotropism or gravitropism.
What is a root's downward growth as a response to gravity?
The roots of a plant grow downward in response to gravity. This is called positive gravitropism or positive geotropism. Roots grow toward the pull of gravity while shoots grow away from the force of gravity.
What is a plant's response to gravity called?
A plant's response to gravity is called gravitropism or geotropism.
How does tropism affect the way plants grow?
Tropism is the directional growth response of plants to environmental stimuli, such as light, gravity, and water. Positive tropism occurs when plants grow toward a stimulus, like phototropism, where they bend toward light to optimize photosynthesis. Conversely, negative tropism, such as geotropism, involves growth away from a stimulus. These growth responses help plants effectively navigate their environments, enhancing survival and reproductive success.
What is the tropism plant called that reacts towrad the stimulus?
The type of plant tropism that involves growth toward a stimulus is called "positive tropism." An example of this is phototropism, where plants bend toward light sources to maximize photosynthesis. This response is driven by differential growth rates on the sides of the plant, allowing it to optimize its exposure to sunlight. Other examples include gravitropism, where roots grow downward in response to gravity.
What is the name for a plant's growth response to gravity?
Certain plants react to gravity by growing against it or towards it. It is the tropism of gravity called a geotropism. For example, if a potted plant falls over then it will continue to grow towards the sky. If a mudslide occurs and it drastically tilts the land where a tree grows, the tropism allows the tree to grow upwards. Alternatively, geotropism works for roots as well. Roots will respond to gravity by growing downwards. It can be observed that no matter which way a seed is planted the roots and the shoots respond to gravity in opposite ways. Plant hormones, auxins are responsible for this response. Phototropism is the response of plants to light.
Do plants grow toward nutrients or towards gravity?
towards nutrients
A force that pulls objects toward each other is called?
gravity is a force that pulls object toward each other
The force of gravity pulling one object toward the center of another object is called?
Perhaps surprisingly, it is called the force of gravity.
