Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The pair of tropisms that correctly describe these responses are:

1. Geotropism: The deep roots of the plant suggest that it is exhibiting positive geotropism. In other words, the roots are growing towards the force of gravity, which helps anchor the plant firmly in the ground.

2. Thigmotropism: The tendrils of the plant wrapping around objects indicate that it is exhibiting positive thigmotropism. Thigmotropism is the growth or movement response of a plant towards touch or contact stimulus. The tendrils allow the plant to cling to objects for support and climbing.
