This reaction or behaviour is a positive one to light and specifically termed "positive
phototaxis", since
phototaxis is a response to a
Kaynak: TaxisIt allows the cells to sense light direction and intensity and respond to it by swimming either towards the light (positive
phototaxis )
Kaynak: Eyespot apparatusThey mediate light responses as varied as visual perception , phototropism and
phototaxis , as well as responses to light-dark cycles
Kaynak: Photoreceptor proteinThey are the molecular basis for a variety of light-sensing systems from
phototaxis in flagellate s to eyesight in animal s.
