    TROPISM IN PLANTS

    TROPISM IN PLANTS

    Tropism is a unidirectional
    movement of a whole or part
    of a plant towards the
    direction of stimuli
    TYPES OF TROPISM

    1. Phototropism
    2. Geotropism
    3. Hydrotropism
    4. Thigmotropism
    5. Chemotropism
    PHOTOTROPISM

    Movement of plant
    part towards light.

    Eg: Shoot of the


    plant
    GEOTROPISM

    Movement of plant
    in response to
    gravity.

    Eg: Root of the plant


    HYDROTRPISM

    Movement of a
    plant part to wards
    water.

    Eg: Root of the


    plant.
    THIGMOTROPISM

    Movement of a plant
    part due to touch.

    Eg: climbing vines.


    CHEMOTROPISM
    Movement of a plant
    parts in response to
    chemicals.

    Eg: Growth of a
    pollen tube in
    response to sugar
    present on the
    stigma.
    NASTIC MOVEMENT

    Nastic movements are non-


    directional response of a plant or
    part of a plant to stimulus.
    TYPES OF NASTIC
    MOVEMENTS
    1. Photonasty
    2. Thigmonasty
    3. Thermonasty
    PHOTONASTY

    Movement of plant part n


    response to light. e.g: Ipomea alba
    ( moon flower) opens in night and
    closes during the day.
    MOON FLOWER
    Closes during the day Opens in the night
    THIGMONASTY

    Movement of a part of plant in


    response to touch.
    E.g: Mimosa pudica ( touch-me-
    not-plant) folds leaves and droops
    when touched. It is also known as
    Seismonasty
    EXAMPLES FOR THIGMONASTY

    Touch-me-not-plant Venus flytrap


    THERMONASTY

    Movement of part
    of a plant is
    associated with
    change in
    temperature.

    Eg: Tulip flowers


    blooms as the
    temperature
    increases.
    PHOTOSYNTHESIS

    ‘Photo’ means ‘light’ and ‘synthesis’ means ‘to


    buid’. Thus photosynthesis literally means “
    building up with the help of light”.

    During this process, the light energy is


    converted into chemical energy.
    Green plants are autotrophic in
    their 
    mode of nutrition because they
    prepare their food material through
    a process called “photosynthesis”.
    OVERALL EQUATION OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
    THINGS ARE NECESSARY FOR
    PHOTOSYNTHESIS

    1. Transpiration
    2. Stomata
    TRANSPIRATION

    The loss of water in the form of water


    vapour
    from the aerial part of the plant body is
    called
    “transpiration.”
    STOMATA

    •The leaves have tiny microscopic pores


    called stomata.
    •Water evaporates through these stomata.
    •Each stomata is surrounded by guard
    cells.
    •These guard cells helps in regulating the
    rate of transpiration by opening and
    closing of stomata.
    STRUCTURE OF STOMATA
    TYPES OF TRANSPIRATION
    
    
    TYPES OF TRANSPIRATION
    
    
    1.STOMATAL TRANSPIRATION: loss of water from the
    plants through stomata( the layer present on lower
    epidermis)
    
    2. CUTICULAR TRANSPIRATION: loss of water in plants
    through the cuticle ( the waxy layer covers the upper
    epidermis of the leaves)
    
    3.LENTICULAR TRANSPIRATION: loss of water from
    plants as vapour through the lenticels( the tiny pores in
    barks of woody stems and twigs as well as in other plant )
    
    
    EXCHANGE OF GASES

    Plants exchange gases


    (carbondioxide and
    oxygen)continuously
    through the stomata.
