Which of these is an example of a stimulus?
Fire
A plant moving towards water
A virus duplicating
Which of these are types of tropism? Select all that apply:
Hydrotropism
Synthetropism
Electrotropism
Gravitropism
True or False: a stimulus is anything that causes a plant to die
True
False
What is gravitropism/geotropism?
The movement of a plant in response to gravity
The movement of a plant in response to earthquakes

The movement of plants towards water
True or False: Gravitropism can be either negative or positive
True
False
What is hydrotropism?
The movement of plants towards water
The movement of plants away from water
The rate of growth of a plant in response to temperature changes in water
A plant's response to gravity and touch
Is hydrotropism negative or positive?
Positive
Negative

What makes a tropism positive or negative?
Positive = movement towards stimulus, Negative = movement away from stimulus
Negative = movement towards stimulus, Positive = movement away from stimulus
Who cares? It doesn't matter whether it is positive or negative
Positive = when a plant is happy, Negative = when a plant is sad

Is phototropism positive or negative?
Positive
Negative
Neither
Both
True or False: A stimulus can be anything that causes a reaction

False
True or False: Hydrotropism is the same as Thigmotropism
True
