The stem of a plant is experiencing phototropism. Which statement correctly describes the plants response?

Question

The stem grows upward because larger cells are growing

The stem moves toward the light for better photosynthesis

The stem bends to the sides because there are smaller cells on sides

The stem moves away from the light for better photosynthesis

Answer 1

The correct statement that describes the plant's response in phototropism is:

The stem moves toward the light for better photosynthesis.

Phototropism is the growth of a plant in response to light, with stems typically bending towards the light source to maximize photosynthesis. This occurs due to enhanced elongation of cells on the side of the stem that is away from the light, causing the stem to bend towards the light source.
