10 Questions

What is hydrotropism?

Hydrotropism is a form of tropism where an organism or a cell shows growth or movement in response to water or moisture.

What are the two types of hydrotropism?

Positive hydrotropism and negative hydrotropism.

What is positive hydrotropism?

Positive hydrotropism is when the growth response is toward water.

What is negative hydrotropism?

Negative hydrotropism is when the growth response is away from water.

What triggers positive hydrotropism in roots?

Higher relative humidity levels trigger positive hydrotropism in roots.

Where does the plant recognize the signals for hydrotropism?

The plant recognizes the signals at the root cap region.

Which tropic movements are directed toward the stimulus source?

Orthotropic movements are directed toward the stimulus source.

Which tropic movements are angular to the direction of the stimulus?

Plagiotropic movements are angular to the direction of the stimulus.

Which tropic movements are perpendicular to the direction of the stimulus?

Diatropic movements are perpendicular to the direction of the stimulus.

What is heliotropism?

Heliotropism is a type of tropism where the response of the organism is toward sunlight.

Quiz: Understanding the Role of Proteins in Plant Tropic Growth Test your knowledge on the protein involved in signal transduction that controls gene expression in plants, including its co-receptors. Explore how this pathway influences the activation of proton pumps and cell wall loosening enzymes, ultimately leading to directional tropic growth.
