Question

hi wat is hydrotropism

Answer 1

Hydrotropism is a plant's growth response in which the direction of growth is determined by a stimulus or gradient in water concentration.


A hydrotrope is a compound that solubilises hydrophobic compounds in aqueous solutions (by means other than micellar solubilization). Typically, hydrotropes consist of a hydrophilic part and a hydrophobic part (like surfactants) but the hydrophobic part is generally too small to cause spontaneous self-aggregation.

Answer 2

Hydrotropism, is triggered by plant hormones, can be a positive or negative response, whereby the plant will either turn away from water concentrations,
