  2. Phototaxis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phototaxis

    The second type of phototaxis is true phototaxis, which is a directed movement up a gradient to an increasing amount of light. This is analogous to positive chemotaxis except that the attractant is light rather than a chemical. Phototactic responses are observed in many organisms such as Serratia marcescens, Tetrahymena, and Euglena. Each ...

  3. Taxis - Wikipedia

    Durotaxis is the directional movement of a cell along a stiffness gradient. Electrotaxis (or galvanotaxis) is the directional movement of motile cells along the vector of an electric field. It has been suggested that by detecting and orienting themselves toward the electric fields, cells can move towards damages or wounds to repair them.

    Therefore, to achieve a true course of 120°, one should follow a compass heading of 126°. True course is 120°, the Variation is 5° East and the Deviation is 1° East. T: 120° V: −5° M: 115° D: −1° C: 114° True course is 035°, the Variation is 4° West and the Deviation is 1° East. T: 035° V: +4° M: 039° D: −1° C: 038°

  6. Chemorepulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemorepulsion

    Chemorepulsion is the directional movement of a cell away from a substance. Of the two directional varieties of chemotaxis, chemoattraction has been studied to a much greater extent. Only recently have the key components of the chemorepulsive pathway been elucidated. [ 1 ]
