Growth Response Define Give Types Tropism Phototropism Light

Four types of tropisms are phototropism (growth towards light), geotropism (growth in response to gravity), thigmotropism (growth in response to touch), and hydrotropism (growth towards water).

Quatre types de tropismes sont le phototropisme (croissance vers la lumière), le géotropisme (croissance par rapport à la gravité), le thigmotropisme (croissance en réponse au toucher) et l'hydrotropisme (croissance vers l'eau).

Front Name, define and give an example of 4 types of tropism.
Back Tropism:
  • Phototropism - growth in response to light (sunflower turning towards light)
  • Geotropism - growth in response to gravity (root downwards, shoots upwards)
  • Thigmotropism - growth in response to touch (vines wrapping around objects)
  • Hydrotropism - growth in response to water (roots growing towards higher humidity levels)
