CONCLUSION :
Is the hypothesis accepted? What is the conclusion of this experiment?

The hypothesis is accepted. Shoots of plants grow in the direction of light.

QUESTIONS :
1. What is the stimulus used in this experiment?
Light

2. State the part of the plant that responds to the stimulus.

Shoot.

3. Does the part of the plant in question 2 show positive or negative phototropism.
Positive phototropism.
 B. RESPONSE OF PLANTS TO GRAVITY OR GEOTROPISM

RESULT :

CONCLUSION :

The hypothesis is accepted. Roots of plants grow in the direction of gravity.

QUESTIONS :

1. Why is the apparatus kept in a dark cupboard?

To prevent the light stimulus from affecting the growth of the seedlings.

2. Based on your observations, state the direction of growth of the:

a. Shoots of the seedlings
Towards light (upwards)
b. Roots of the seedlings
Towards the gravity (downwards)

3. Do plants show positive geotropism or negative geotropism? Explain your answer.

Roots show positive geotropism.
 C. RESPONSE OF PLANTS TO WATER OR HYDROTROPISM

RESULT :

CONCLUSION :

The hypothesis is accepted. Roots of plants grow in the direction of water.

QUESTIONS :

1. What is the stimulus used in this experiment?

Water.

2. State the part of the plant that responds to the stimulus.

Roots.

3. What is the function of anhydrous calcium chloride?

To absorb water vapour from the beaker.

4. Does the part of the plant in question 2 show postive or negative hydrotropism?
Positive hydrotropism. The root grow towards water.
