BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrotropism occurs when plant cells on one side of a stem or root grow more rapidly than cells on the other side, causing the plant to bend or curve toward the source of water. This response allows plants to optimize their access to water, which is essential for their survival and growth.

Detailed explanation-2: -The survival of terrestrial plants depends upon the capacity of roots to obtain water and nutrients from the soil. Directed growth of roots in relation to a gradient in moisture is called hydrotropism and begins in the root cap with the sensing of the moisture gradient.

Detailed explanation-3: -This process is known as hydrotropism, which is easy to remember as the prefix hydro-means water. Both plants are showing positive hydrotropism as their roots are growing toward water and not away from it. Therefore, the tropism being displayed positively by the roots is hydrotropism.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant roots mediate water uptake from the soil and have developed a number of adaptive traits such as hydrotropism to aid water foraging. Hydrotropism modifies root growth to respond to a water potential gradient in soil and grow towards areas with a higher moisture content.

Detailed explanation-5: -The movement or the growth of a plant in relation to the stimulus of water is called hydrotropic movement and the equivalent response to the stimulus of water is called hydrotropism. In this type of movement, roots show positive hydrotropic response, as they move and grow towards the water.
