In this lesson, understand what phototropism is and see phototropism examples. Learn about the two types of phototropism: negative and positive...
We'll go over the structure of roots more in detail in order to understand where the cells are that sense gravity. We'll revisit phototropism, and learn what the chemical signal is in plants that allows them to respond to light and gravity. And lastly, we'll learn what makes a plant ...
In addition, it influences or controls other plant growth processes such as the synthesis of the differentphotoreceptors(e.g. chlorophyll, other pigments),photomorphogenesis(organ formation and development),phototropism(plant response to unilateral light),photoperiodism,translocation,mineral absorption, andtran...
