Saprophytes are fungi that are capable of getting nourishment from decaying plants in order to live their lives longer. They are known to stay in rich soil and in various dead trees. They often reside in decaying wood as well.
Answer:
response to stimuli / tropism
Explanation:
The plants and animals always respond to stimuli. It is an innate character of all living things. When a bright light falls on the eye, it closes immediately. This is responding to the stimuli. When someone touches the leaves of touch-me-not plants it closes its leaves due to the external stimuli.
The plants respond to the light. Because it does photosynthesis in the presence of light. Therefore, the leaves and branches of the plants always bend towards the light. This process is called phototropism.
Similarly, the roots of the plants move towards gravity under the ground. This is called geotropism.
Besides phototropism and geotropism, other types of stimuli are there - hydrotropism(response to the water), chemotropism(response to certain chemicals).
That's why the plants growing on the windowsill move towards outside where light comes.
Answer:
reactions
Explanation:
Reactions occur when two reactant molecules effectively collide, each having minimum energy and correct orientation. Reactant concentration, the physical state of the reactants, and surface area, temperature, and the presence of a catalyst are the four main factors that affect reaction rate.
