Climbing plants, such as vines, rely on touch to navigate and develop tendrils that coil around objects they encounter. Roots also rely on touch to navigate their way through the soil. When roots come into contact with an object, they generally grow in a direction away from the object. Based on this information, which of the following statements is true?
A. The tendrils are displaying a negative thigmotropic response while the roots are displaying a positive thigmotropic response.
B. The tendrils are displaying a thigmotropic response while the roots are displaying a thigmonastic response.
C. The tendrils are displaying a positive thigmotropic response while the roots are displaying a negative thigmotropic response.
D. Both tendrils and roots are displaying thigmonastic responses to an object in the environment.
E. The tendrils are displaying a thigmonastic response while the roots are displaying a thigmotropic response.

Use the following figure and information to answer the question(s) below
Fishes that have swim bladders can regulate their density and, thus, their buoyancy. There are two types of swim bladder: physostomous and physoclistous. The ancestral version is the physostomous version, in which the swim bladder is connected to the esophagus via a short tube (see the figure above). The fish fills this version by swimming to the surface, taking gulps of air, and directing them into the swim bladder. Air is removed from this version by "belching." The physoclistous version is more derived, and has lost its connection to the esophagus. Instead, gas enters and leaves the swim bladder via special circulatory mechanisms within the wall of the swim bladder.
