What is the term for the growth of plant roots downward in response to gravity?

  • APhototropism
  • BGeotropism
  • CHydrotropism
  • DThigmotropism
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Geotropism
Explanation: Geotropism is the directional growth response of plant roots toward the pull of gravity ensuring they penetrate the soil to anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients.

What is the term for the bending of a plant toward light called?

  • AGeotropism
  • BPhototropism
  • CHydrotropism
  • DThigmotropism
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Phototropism
Explanation: Phototropism is the growth response of a plant toward a light source caused by unequal distribution of auxin making cells on the shaded side elongate more than those on the lit side.

What is the term for the process by which plants lose water vapour through their leaves?

  • APhotosynthesis
  • BOsmosis
  • CTranspiration
  • DRespiration
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Transpiration
Explanation: Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water vapour through stomata in their leaves creating a suction force that draws water and minerals up from the roots.
