Tropic movement is due to
Options
- ACell elongation
- BCell division
- CBoth Cell elongation and Cell division
- DCell thickening
Correct answer
A. Cell elongation
Step-by-step solution
Tropic movements are caused by cell elongation and do not affect the whole plant. Different tropic movements are phototropism, geotropism, chemotropism, aerotropism (e.g., positively aerotropic pneumatophores), thermotropism (towards warmth, e.g., peduncles of Tulip, Anemone), rheotropism, galvanotropism and traumatotropism.
