BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Geotropism is a type of tropism where plants show some growth in response to gravity. Roots growing downwards is an example of geotropism.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants respond directly to Earth’s gravitational attraction, and also to light. Stems grow upward, or away from the center of Earth, and towards light. Roots grow downward, or towards the center of Earth, and away from light.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gravitropism is the ability of plants to perceive and respond to the gravity vector and orient themselves accordingly. The gravitropic pathway can be divided into three main components: perception, biochemical signaling, and differential growth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant parts can grow with or against gravity. This type of tropism is called gravitropism. Roots of a plant grow downward and exhibit positive gravitropism. Stems, on the other hand, exhibit negative gravitropism since they grow upwards and against the force of gravity (see Figure 1).

Detailed explanation-5: -Gravitropism (also known as geotropism) is a coordinated process of differential growth by a plant in response to gravity pulling on it. It also occurs in fungi. Gravity can be either “artificial gravity” or natural gravity.
