The movements of plant
which are
directional, either
towards the stimulus or
away from it, are called
Tropic Movements.
          Tropic
      Movements.
A tropism is a biological
phenomenon, indicating
growth or turning movement
of a biological
organism, usually a plant, in
response to an environmental
stimulus.


              Tropism.
Types of Tropic
       Movements.
*Phototropism

*Geotropism

*Chemotropism

*Hydrotropism
The bending of a plant
towards the light is called
as phototropism.

It is the growth and
response to a light
stimulus.


   Phototropism.
The downward movement
of a plant in response to
gravitational force is called
geotropism.

Geotropism is also known as
gravitropism.


        Geotropism.
The growth and movement
of plants navigated by a
chemical stimulus from
outside the plant.

An example of chemotropic
movement can be seen
during the growth of the
pollen tube.

   Chemotropism.
It can be also written that
conversion of a flower into
fruit is the example of
chemotropism.
Hydrotropism is a plant's
growth response in which
the direction of growth is
determined by a stimulus in
water concentration.




  Hydrotropism.
