Which pair of tropisms correctly describe these responses?(1 point) Responses hydrotropism and thigmotropism hydrotropism and thigmotropism phototropism and thigmotropism phototropism and thigmotropism hydrotropism and geotropism hydrotropism and geotropism geotropism and phototropism

Answer 1

The correct pair of tropisms that describe the observed responses of the plant with deep roots and tendrils wrapping around objects are hydrotropism and thigmotropism.

• Hydrotropism refers to the growth response of plant roots toward moisture (water).
• Thigmotropism is the growth response of a plant to touch or physical contact, which explains the tendrils wrapping around objects.

Thus, the answer is hydrotropism and thigmotropism.
