Question

1. the image to the left shows the shoot system of a plant growing upwards against the force of gravity. this response would best be described as .

Explanation:

Geotropism/gravitropism is plant growth in response to gravity. Positive geotropism is growth toward gravity (e.g., roots), while negative geotropism is growth away from gravity. The shoot system grows upward, opposing gravity, so this is negative geotropism/gravitropism. Thigmotropism relates to touch, not gravity, so it is irrelevant here.

Answer:

negative geotropism/gravitropism
