Auxin moves to the shaded side of a shoot, promoting growth there. Study its role in phototropism and how plant transport differs from animal hormones.
Plants respond to stimuli.
Some of these responses are called tropic responses.
Describe the role of auxin in plant responses to light.
A description that includes two of the following
- auxin moves away from light / collects on shaded side / eq
- auxin stimulates growth / elongation /eq
- grows more on shaded side / side away from light / bends / grows towards light / positive (photo)tropic response / eq
assume shoot unless root stated
grows towards light scores mp2 and mp 3
for root mp 1 same mp 2 inhibits mp 3 grows less on shaded side/ bends away
