TYPES OF TROPISM

Phototropism
Geotropism
Hydrotropism
Chemotropism
Thermotropism

GEOTROPISM

Geotropism is the growth

of a plant in response to
gravity.

Positive Geotropism
It is the growth of a plant
towards the center of the
earth down with gravity.

Negative Geotropism
It is the growth of a plant
away from the center of the

PHOTO TROPISM

Photo tropism is the growth

of plant in the direction of its
light source.

 Phototropism is the
movement or growth of part
of an organism towards a
source of light, without
overall movement of the
whole organism.

Auxin distribution controls

phototropism.
This is the normal plant that has the
sun positioned almost directly over the
plant.

 Phototropism is the growth of

organisms in response to a light
stimulus. It is most often observed in
plants.

HYDROTROPISM
Hydrotropism is the growth in
responseto water.
Ex.roots growing toward moistre.

CHEMOTROPISM

Chemotropism is movement
caused by chemical stimuli.
Ex. Growth of a pollen tube is
always towards the ovules so
that reproduction can occur.

THERMOTROPISM
Thermotropism is the tendency of
plants or other organisms to bend
toward or away from heat.
