Which situation is a result of geotropism? Select one:
a. Gravity pulls down on all parts of a plant.
b. Leaves are supported on strong stems.
c. A plant falls down when it wilts.
d. A stem turns to grow upward against gravity.

D

Explanation:

“Explanation: When plant roots grow downwards, it is an example of positive geotropism, because they are growing towards the stimulus, the soil. However, when plant shoots grow upwards, it is an example of negative geotropism as they grow away from the stimulus, the soil.”

d. seems like the best bet.

why?

a. This doesn’t show geotropism since gravity pulls on everything anyways,.

b- doesn’t really show the situation that happens during geotropism.

c-that happens to everything when it dies, also wilting doesnt involve geotropism that much, since it doesn’t involve growing.

d- because since gravity is still pulling on the plant, it turns to grow upward, while its roots grow downwards.
