2.79) Plants and Stimulli



  • Plant respond to stimuli.
  • Stimuli --changes in the environment; Receptor --detect the stimuli and turn them into response; Response --reaction towards the change (often take in the form of growth)
  • The response taken in the form of growth is called tropism
  • There're 2 kinds of tropism we're going to discuss: Light -phototropism and gravity -geotropism.
  • Receptor produce response by plant hormones (plant growth regulator). One example is auxin.
