(biology) The growth or movement of a plant or animal in a direction perpendicular to a stimulus..
As a special result of diatropism, a transverse position is assumed which is exactly at right angles to the direction in which the iinfluence which acts as a stimulus is exerted.
It is either positive, making the animal creep perpendicularly downward, or it causes a horizontal movement, (diatropism) at right angles to the axis of gravity, the result of which for the organism is the so-called maintenance of equilibrium.
It is possible that in no other part of the world is the existence of a diatropism more beautifully exposed, that force that is manifested in various forms of the most visible consequence of which is to prevent the sea with coverag all the emergent lands. This diatropism has gradually caused the region of Baracoa to rise throughout very long periods of time and each new elevation has brought forth a new coastan fringe in the form of an extraordinary grade to the extent that it has become a stairway for giants that rises from the sea to nearly five hudred meters.
Comparing representatives of different phylogenetic lines and taxa by morphostructure shows that diatropism effect as a cell, organ, or organism property appeared in the ancient times and still exists.
The phenomena of antiaromaticity and paratropism are less well known than those of aromaticity and diatropism.
There can be two limiting variants of the structure of the nearest surroundings of a molecule: parallel pairs and a mutually orthogonal arrangement (paratropism and diatropism [22] respectively).
Conversely, the linearly fused ring has increased diatropism relative to 3 dues to the bond localization in the C ring.
In the branched 21b, the central six-membered ring becomes essentially atropic (NICS=-1.1), as do the adjacent cyclobutadienes (NICS=-0.4), allowing for maximum diatropicsm of the three terminal cycles (CICS=-10.7; δ=7.24, 7.31ppm).
Use diatropism when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
Diatropism means (biology) The growth or movement of a plant or animal in a direction perpendicular to a stimulus..
The closest synonym depends on the sentence and intended sense.
The opposite depends on the specific sense.
As a special result of diatropism, a transverse position is assumed which is exactly at right angles to the direction in which the iinfluence which acts as a stimulus is exerted.
