  • Phototaxis in Bacteria: Movement Towards Light Explained
    A bacterial cell moving toward light would be an example of phototaxis.

    Here's why:

    * Phototaxis is the movement of an organism in response to a light stimulus.

    * Positive phototaxis means the organism moves *towards* the light source.

    * Negative phototaxis means the organism moves *away* from the light source.

    In this case, the bacterial cell is moving towards the light, indicating positive phototaxis.
