Plants use direct environmental stimuli for orientation in growth and movement. This is called tropism. The responses of the plant may be toward (positive) or away (negative) from the external stimulus or stimuli.Click the links below to learn more about the different types of stimuli and the plants reaction to it:Phototropism-Reaction to light and different wavelengths.his is called tropism.

I'm thinking about training for a marathon. A marathon is 26.2 miles or 42 kilometers. Although some marathons differ in their terrain (some are very flat, some are extremely hilly) and degree of difficulty, the distance is always 26.2 miles.
A RUNNER RECENTLY POSTED A QUESTION to my Facebook page about the apparent 20-mile limit for long runs in my marathon training programs. âWhy the limit?â the runner asked. She recently had completed one of my novice half marathon programs with 10 its peak long run mileage. But for intermediate and advanced half marathoners, the last long run peaks between 12 and 16 miles. Following this logic, should not some of my marathon programs peak anywhere from 24 to 32 miles? âItâs such a stretch between 20 and 26.2 miles,â worried the runner.
