Examples of phototaxis in the following topics:
-
Movement and Migration
- This movement can be in response to light (phototaxis), chemical signals (chemotaxis), or gravity (geotaxis).
-
Cell Structure, Metabolism, and Motility
- Protists accomplish phototaxis, movement toward light, by coupling their locomotion strategy with a light-sensing organ.
-
Properties of Life
- Even tiny bacteria can move toward or away from chemicals (a process called chemotaxis) or light (phototaxis).
