Question

After a plant is set on a windowsill for several days, its owner comes back to find its stem bent at a sharp angle toward the glass of the window. Which of the following describes this movement of the plant in response to stimuli?

Answer 1

Positive Phototropism

Step-by-step explanation:

Although you have not provided choices, the behavior of the plant shows phototropism. Phototropism, refers to the direction plants grow in response to the external stimuli, which is light. We have 2 types, the positive phototropism and the negative phototropism.

When we say positive, this means that the plants are growing towards the light source.

When we say negative Phototropism, the pants are growing away from the light.

So in this case, since their going towards the glass, we can assume that it is the light from the outside that is influencing the behaviour of the plant, or the orientation of its growth.
