(b) Phototropism and chemotropism

Solution –

( a ) Thigmotropism and geotropism

Thigmotropismgeotropism
directional growth movement of a part of the plant  in response to touch of an objectdirectional growth movement of a part of the plant  in response to gravity
Eg. Coiling of tendrilsEg. Roots grow in downward direction

( b ) Phototropism and chemotropism

PhototropismChemotropism
Directional growth movement of a plant part in response to lightDirectional growth movement of a plant part in response to chemicals
