a plant is placed near a window. instead of growning straight up, the plants grows toward the window. what is the plant demonstrating?

Answer 1

The plant is demonstrating phototropism, which is the growth response of a plant to light. In this case, the plant grows toward the window (source of light) as it seeks to maximize its exposure to sunlight, which is essential for photosynthesis. This behavior is a survival adaptation that helps plants optimize their growth and energy production.
