Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The diminished rewards of photosynthesis in winter, along with the negatives of water loss and leaf damage, cause many trees to enter a dormant state in order to conserve energy and survive unfavorable conditions. Photoperiodism is the response of organisms to changing day length, thigmotropism is the growth response of a plant to touch or mechanical stimulation, and phototropism is the growth response of a plant to light direction. None of these choices adequately explain the tree's response to winter conditions.
