Exercise Science Form 2

This document discusses plant tropisms and nastic movements. It defines tropism as a plant's growth response to external stimuli, where positive tropism means growth towards a stimulus and negative tropism means growth away from a stimulus. The document lists common tropism responses such as phototropism to light, geotropism to gravity, hydrotropism to water, and thigmotropism to touch. Nastic movements are growth responses that do not depend on directional stimuli.
