There is a difference between positive and negative tropism. Positive goes toward and negative goes against. Then there's also a difference between the stimuli and stimulus. The difference between stimuli and stimulus is that one is plural and the other is singular, the definition of it is a thing or event that evokes a specific functional reaction in an organ or tissue.
