Do plants grow downwards?

No, plants do not always grow downward. Plant roots always grow downward due to positive gravitropism or positive geotropism. Plant shoots always grow upwards due to negative gravitropism or negative geotropism.


What is Geo-Tropism?

Geotropism is a plant growth or movement in response to gravity. Upward growth of the plant's parts against gravity is called negative geotropism, whilst downward growth of roots is called positive geotropism.


What is the difference between positive and negitve geotropism?

Geotropism (also called gravitropism) is the turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. Roots show positive geotropism (grow toward gravity - down) and stems show negative geotropism (grow away from gravity - up).


What is positive gvravitropism?

firstly there is no word as GVRAVITROPISM. When plants grow towards gravity it is called GEOTROPISM. its is mainly the root of plants that show geotropism; because they grow downward. but the stem show negative geotropism because it grows up in the opposite direction of gravity


Does geotropism determine the direction of growth?

Yes, geotropism DOES determine the direction of growth. Negative geotropism is when a section of the plant grows upwards. For example, stems grow upward. Positive geotropism is when a section of the plant grows downwards. In this case, a plant's roots would be the perfect example.


What controls geotropism and phototropism?

When the auxins in the plant act towards gravity... positive geotropism is wen the plant goes to the direction of gravity which would be downwards..negative geotropism would be upwards going against the natural gravity Phototropism is when the plant reacts towards the photosynthesis conditions where when light acts on the plant so the auxins burst and the plant bends towards light..this is positive phototropism...but when the plant goes against the direction of light it is then negative phototropism


Stems and leaves grow using positive what?

stems and leaves grow using positive phototropism. That means growing towards the source of light. Mostly we reffer to the sun in this case. Even so, stems and roots can as well grow away from the source of light, that is negative phototropism.


Do bananas grow pointing up or down?

Yes, due to an effect called negative geotropism bananas grow upwards.


What is Positive gravi groth tropism?

Positive geotropism is where the roots grow towards gravity.


What is the main stimuli affecting the growth of the shoot of the plant?

light, positive phototropism and towards the light gravity, negative geotropism and grow in opposite direction to gravity NOT WATER


What is negative tropism?

...Negative tropism is a change in text of a song due to mishearing the lyrics or inaccurate memory of the lyrics. It results in multiple versions of songs after a while. It is very common in English and Scottish balladry, as well as in Appalachian ballads.


What is a geotropism?

Gravitropism is a response to gravity. And the plant roots will follow the gravity also you cannot change the place where the roots will grow also if you will put it on the opposite side of the gravity it will also grow down.
