Design an experiment to demonstrate hydrotropism |
|
Answer» AIM: To demonstrate hydrotropism in plants. PROCEDURE : i. Plant a seedling in a VESSEL containing soil. ii. Adjacent to the seedling put a porous pot containing water. iii. Leave the SET up for few days. OBSERVATION : On examining the roots of seedlings it is observed that the roots bend towards the source of water and do not grow straight. RESULT : It confirms that plant shows hydrotropism as the roots bend towards the porous pot of water. As hydrotropism is a plant growth response in which the direction of growth is DETERMINED by a stimulus of gradient in water concentration.
