A) roots of a plant following water B) plant bending toward the light
C) roots growing into the soil D) a venus flytrap capturing a fly
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) plant bending toward the light

Explanation:

Phototropism is the ability of a photosynthesizing organism, to grow directionally in response to a light source. It is very common in plants, but can also occur in other organisms such as fungi.

Q:

The fact that two large ships travelling on close parallel courses in the same direction tend to move towards each other can be explained by

A) Bernoulli's principle B) Magnetic properties of the ship's material
C) Newton's third law of motion D) Earth's gravitational force
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Bernoulli's principle

Explanation:

The rapid flow of air between the two moving ships causes a reducton of pressure (Bernoulli's principle) , so they (the ships) are drawn closer together
