Multiple Choice QuestionsWhat causes a green plant exposed to the light on only one side, to bend toward the source of light as it grows?
Green plants need light to perform photosynthesis.
Green plants seek light because they are phototropic
Light stimulates plant cells on the lighted side to grow faster
Light stimulates plant cells on the lighted side to grow faster
D.
Light stimulates plant cells on the lighted side to grow faster
When a green plant exposed to light (phototropism) on one side, which make it bend towards the source of light is due to the effect of auxins. Auxin accumulates on the shaded side due to which it stimulates cell elongation and enlargement. Its movement is polar and passes from shoot tip to region of elongation. It helps in elongation of both roots and shoots. Auxin(indole 3-acetic acid) also produces tropical responses like phototropism and geotropism.
