- Phototropism - Wikipedia
Phototropism is one of the many plant tropisms, or movements, which respond to external stimuli Growth towards a light source is called positive phototropism, while growth away from light is called negative phototropism
- Phototropism – Definition and Steps With Diagram - Science Facts
‘Photo’ means light, and ‘tropism’ means turning Phototropism is the movement of plants or other organisms, such as fungi, in the direction of light or away from it
- Phototropism - Definition, Examples and Quiz - Biology Dictionary
Phototropism is the ability of a plant, or other photosynthesizing organism, to grow directionally in response to a light source Plants and other autotrophs need to manufacture their own food; they usually do this through photosynthesis
- Phototropism – Definition, Types, Mechanism, Importance, Examples
Phototropism refers to the directional growth exhibited by photosynthesizing organisms, predominantly plants, in response to light stimuli This phenomenon is crucial for autotrophic organisms, such as plants, which rely on photosynthesis to synthesize their own nutrients
- What Is Phototropism? - ThoughtCo
Phototropism is when plants bend toward light to get more energy for growth Charles Darwin conducted early experiments to show that plants move towards a light source Later experiments proved that plants use a protein as well as a hormone to bend towards light
- Phototropism: Growing towards an Understanding of Plant Movement
Phototropism, or the differential cell elongation exhibited by a plant organ in response to directional blue light, provides the plant with a means to optimize photosynthetic light capture in the aerial portion and water and nutrient acquisition in the roots

Light affects both the orientation of the seedling and its form When a seed germinates below the soil surface, the plumule may emerge bent over, thus protecting its delicate tip, only to straighten out when exposed to light (the curvature is retained if the shoot…
