3 STIMULI AND RESPONSES IN PLANTS

ACTIVITY 1 : TROPISM AND NASTIC MOVEMENT

1. State the types of tropism based on their stimuli. Then, match the types of tropism with the
importance of the response for their survival. PL 1

PL 1

2. Identify the types of response in plants

3. The diagram below shows a cucumber plant which is on the ground.

Suggest one method to enable the cucumber plant to keep upright on the ground. Explain the

method chosen in the aspect of the response of the plant.

Place wooden sticks in _______________________ positions between the PL 3/KBAT

stems of the cucumber plant. The_____________________ of the plant will

twin round the wooden sticks to keep the plant in an upright position (thigmotropism).

ACTIVITY 2 : STEREOPHONIC HEARING

 Procedure :
1 Blindfold your with a strip of black cloth.

2 Request your friend to point to the direction of the

clapping

sound at different locations.

3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the blindfolded friend

having one ear covered.

 Result : Hearing with ___________ ears uncovered is more accurate to determine the

direction of

sound.

 Analysis :
