Re: [sg] Honors Biology Plant Experiment Research

I went to Ask Jeeves, http://www.askjeeves.com  a most helpful natural language search engine, and entered two questions:

1.  Why do plants grow toward the light?

2.  What is phototropism

Check out the following links.  They should help.  Best of luck

Dear Gardeners,

  I have looked all over the internet and in the library for information concerning why plants grow toward their light source (in my case a regular classroom ceiling lamp), but I haven't been able to find anything.          

  Searching "Phototropism" doesn't find anything either.  If you have any idea where I can find information on this, or have scientific information yourself, I would be very grateful if you would share it with me.

Many thanks,

  The Soon-To-Be-Desperate 9th Grade Biology Student
