Stimuli and Response in Plants 1. Plants respond to light, gravity, water and touch stimuli. 2. There are two types of responses: tropism and nastic movements. 3. Tropism (a) is a growth response in a direction (b) involves certain parts in a plant, for example, shoot and root (c) affec...
Stimuli and Response in Plants 1. Plants respond to light, gravity, water and touch stimuli. 2. There are two types of responses: tropism and nastic movements. 3. Tropism (a) is a growth response in a direction (b) involves certain parts in a plant, for example, shoot and root (c) affects the direction of the responses, which depends on the direction of the stimuli 4. Tropism can be divided into positive tropism and negative tropism. 5. Plants responses are very important to ensure the continuity and survival of plants.
