Question

The given experimental setup tests the response of different parts of a plant towards gravity. Use scientific terms for the conclusions.

Answer 1

Geotropism:

1. It is a type of plant movement.
2. It happens when gravity is acting as the external stimulus.
3. In the above diagram, the roots are growing towards the soil or gravity. Thus they are positively geotropic.
4. Whereas the shoots are growing away from gravity, thus they are called negatively geotropic.
