Study Notes

Phototropism

Plants grow towards light, this is called phototropism
The plant hormone auxin is produced in the growing tip of the stem
Auxin stimulates cell elongation on the darker side of the stem
This causes the stem to bend towards the light
Plants use phototropism to maximise their exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis
Phototropism is a response to light stimuli
Light stimuli can be diurnal, seasonal, or disease related
Auxin plays a key role in phototropism
Plants use phototropism to maximize light capture for photosynthesis

Description

This quiz explores the concept of phototropism, the process by which plants grow towards light. It covers the role of the hormone auxin in cell elongation and the importance of maximizing sunlight exposure for photosynthesis. Test your understanding of how plants respond to light stimuli and the mechanisms behind these growth patterns.
