a tendency of an organism to grow toward or away from a source of light Explanation: dear poornima, this is gonna be a long explanation... hope it helps. Phototropism = [growth toward the light]: the tendency of the organism to grow toward or away from a source of light. Photoreaction= this one I can't find the exact meaning for the word but i found "photosensitivity" which is relevant to what you just asked. It means a person who's very sensitive to the sun and can get sunburnt severely very easily. (www.elibrary.com) Chloro = green synthesis = [formation of chemical compound] :the process of forming a complex compound through a series of one or more chemical reactions involving simpler substances. Pigmentation= 1)[natural color] the natural color of plants and animals. 2) [discoloration]: abnormal coloring in plant or animal tissue that occur as a result of disease. hope it helps somewhat :) Reference: http://www.dictionary.msn.com |
