Detailed explanation-1: -What is Phototropism? “Photo” means light, and “tropism” means turning. Phototropism is the phenomenon by which the plant bends in the direction of light. Light is required by the plants to stimulate energy production by the process of photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -One important light response in plants is phototropism, which involves growth toward-or away from-a light source. Positive phototropism is growth towards a light source; negative phototropism is growth away from light.
Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. Phototropism, or the differential cell elongation exhibited by a plant organ in response to directional blue light, provides the plant with a means to optimize photosynthetic light capture in the aerial portion and water and nutrient acquisition in the roots.
Detailed explanation-4: -(a) The growth of plant parts in response to light is known as phototropism. An example of phototropism is the growth of plant stem in the upward direction in response to sunlight. (b) The stems of plants grow towards sunlight showing positive phototropism.
Detailed explanation-5: -Phototropism is the ability of the plant to re-orient the shoot growth towards a direction of light source. Phototropism is important to plants as it enhances the ability of plants to optimize their photosynthetic capacity. As discussed above, phototropic response is exclusively controlled by phots.
