Suppose you plant an angiosperm in a pot, which you leave on your porch, and something knocks the pot over on its side. You find that the stems are bent and facing upward, regardless of the amount of sunlight present. Which response is most likely being witnessed?

It is a phototrophic response to seek the most sunlight.

Ans.

Gravitropism can be defined as the growth or movement of a plant in response to gravity. Plant shoots or stems show negative gravitropism, means they grow in the opposite direction of gravity, regardless of sunlight. It helps the green parts of plants, such as leaves and stems for absorbing solar energy to perform photosynthesis and oxygen for cellular respiration.

Thus, the correct answer is 'negative gravitropism.'
