Tropic Responses
Muhtasari
Plants cannot walk towards the sunshine, but they can grow towards it. Put a seedling on a windowsill and within days its shoot bends to face the light. Plant roots, meanwhile, grow downwards no matter which way you plant the seed. These growth responses to direction are called tropisms.
In this lesson you will learn what phototropism and gravitropism are, how to investigate them in shoots and roots, and (for the extended curriculum) how the chemical auxin controls them by making one side of a shoot grow faster than the other.
Malengo
- Describe gravitropism as a response in which parts of a plant grow towards or away from gravity
- Describe phototropism as a response in which parts of a plant grow towards or away from the direction of the light source
- Investigate and describe gravitropism and phototropism in shoots and roots
- [Supplement] Explain phototropism and gravitropism of a shoot as examples of the chemical control of plant growth
- [Supplement] Explain the role of auxin in controlling shoot growth, limited to: (a) auxin is made in the shoot tip (b) auxin diffuses through the plant from the shoot tip (c) auxin is unequally distributed in response to light and gravity (d) auxin stimulates cell elongation
