Seedlings of plants grow straight upward in dark environments in order to reach the sunlight above ground.

Example: Sunflowers are a great exampleof positive phototropism, because not only do their stems curve toward the light but their flowers turn to face the sunlight as well.

An example ofgeotropism is the roots of a plant growing down into the ground.

Example: If you plant a seed upside down, the roots will still grow downward, while the shoot will still grow upward. Plants that grow on steep hillsides are greatexamples of geotropism. They might start out growing horizontally, but they'll eventually begin to grow away from gravity and toward the sunlight.]]> 2018-03-05 18:06:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mcc9236/k8wc51q5iq3e/wish/238248105 Organ System mcc9236 https://padlet.com/mcc9236/k8wc51q5iq3e/wish/238248291 Definition: Organ system is a functional and structural unit of a plant or fungus. reproductive structure - the parts of a plant involved in its reproduction. septum - a partition or wall especially in an ovary. honey gland, nectary - a gland (often a protuberance or depression) that secretes nectar.

Example: Vascular plants have two distinct organ systems: a shoot system and a root system. The shoot system consists of two portions: the vegetative (non-reproductive) parts of the plant, such as the leaves and the stems; and the reproductive parts of the plant, which include flowers and fruits.

They are structurally and functionally similar to these cells.

Example: Vascular tissue is an example of a complex tissue. It is made of two specialized conducting tissues: xylem and phloem. Xylem tissue transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant.
