Stimuli from the environment causes ———— in plants .
(a) Tropic movements
(b) No effect
(c) Random responses
Answers
Answer:
Environmental factors, including light, chemical nutrients, water, and gravity are stimuli that can provoke tropisms in a plant. The plant grows in the direction of the stimulus as hormones inside the stem, root, and leaf systems in a plant aid in the elongation and growth process of the plant toward the stimulus
Explanation:
Tropic movement
A tropism is a growth response a plant undergoes when it is stimulated by an environmental factor. Environmental factors, including light, chemical nutrients, water, and gravity are stimuli that can provoke tropisms in a plant. The plant grows in the direction of the stimulus as hormones inside the stem, root, and leaf systems in a plant aid in the elongation and growth process of the plant toward the stimuli. This investigation explores the relative strength of two stimulants, gravity, and water to compare and evaluate which stimulus will have the greatest affect on the plant.
