is a growth toward or away from a stimulus (causes a reaction or response).
TROPISM
growth towards the direction of a stimulus
POSITIVE TROPISM
growth away from a stimulus
NEGATIVE TROPISM
is when plants turn or bend toward light.
PHOTOTROPISM
growth towards the light source
POSITIVE PHOTOTROPISM
growth away from the light
NEGATIVE PHOTOTROPISM
Plants need light to stimulate the production of energy; this process is called
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
The directional movement of plants in response to the stimulus of touch.
THIGMOTROPISM
a plant, or a part of it, grows toward the touch stimulus
POSITIVE THIGMOTROPISM
- a plant, or a part of it, grows away from the touch stimulus
NEGATIVE THIGMOTROPISM
is growth in response to gravity
GRAVITROPISM OR GEOTROPISM
occurs when roots grow into soil because they grow in the direction of gravity
POSITIVE GRAVITROPISM
occurs when shoots grow up toward sunlight in the opposite direction of gravity.
NEGATIVE GRAVITROPISM
is directional growth in response to water concentrations.
HYDROTROPISM
This tropism is important in plants for protection against drought conditions through positive hydrotropism and against water over-saturation through negative hydrotropism.
HYDROTROPISM
is one in which the organism tends to grow towards moisture
POSITIVE HYDROTROPISM
- is when the organism grows away from moisture
NEGATIVE HYDROTROPISM
The movement of a plant or a part of plant in response to a change in temperature.
THERMOTROPISM
is when the growth or movement of an organism is towards the source of heat or cold
POSITIVE THERMOTROPISM
is when the organism tends to grow or move away from the source of heat or cold
NEGATIVE THERMOTROPISM
Observable biological oscillations that occur with a 24-hour periodicity
CIRCADIAN RHYTHM
the response of the plant is non-directional.
NASTIC MOVEMENT
Does not depend on the direction of the stimulus
NASTIC MOVEMENT
MOVEMENT IS REVERSIBLE
NASTIC MOVEMENT
