Homeostasis is

• a stimulus from inside and organism

• The ability to maintain a stable internal environment

• How an organism reacts to a change

• A stimulus from outside an organism

Geotropism is a force that affects certain organisms. Which of the following is an example of a plant responding to the external stimulus of gravity?

• A seedling growing toward a sunny window.

• Flowers producing nectar to attract bees.

• Plant roots growing down into the soil

• A potted plant wilting when it dries out.

Phototropism is

• when a plant grows toward gravity (down)

• when a plant grows toward sunlight

• pressure exerted by water inside the cell on the cell wall

• process of water moving through plants and evaporating from the leaves into the air.
