Plants karn to respond to different stimuli by certain movements. This response may be rapid movements like nastic movement or slow process like tropism. Thus, we can classify the plant into two types based on their movements: Tropic movements and nastic movements. When a plant shows some growth movement in response to astimulus, itis knowns tropism. Tropism isa direction, which is specificand depends on the direction of the stimulus. Plants may either show a positive or negative movement as a response to a stimulus, If the movement is towards the direction of stimuli, it is known as positive tropism, if the movement is away from the stimuli, it is known as negative tropism.

When various members of a class of organic compounds like alkanes, alkenes, alcohols which can be represented by a general formula and have same functional group are arranged in order of increasing mokculr weights, they are found to differ from each other by a fixed group of atoms. They are said to form a homologous series. The members of homologous series can be represented by a same general formula. The chemical properties of the members of a homologous series remain same while as the mol i i lecular mass increases in any homologous series, a gradation in physical properties is seen.
