Question

Name the plant hormone which is synthesized at the shoot tip. How does this hormone help the plant to bend towards light? 

Hint:

Auxin helps plants adapt to their environment by guiding their growth towards essential resources like light and water.

Answer 1

The plant hormone produced at the shoot tip is F₂AuxinF₂.
- F₂AuxinsF₂ stimulate cell expansion on the side of the plant away from light, causing the plant to curve towards the light source.
- This is called F₂phototropismF₂, where the plant grows toward light to optimize photosynthesis.
