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 synthesized at the shoot tip is F₂AuxinF₂.
- F₂AuxinsF₂ promote cell elongation on the side of the plant that is away from the light, causing the plant to bend toward the light source.
- This phenomenon is known as F₂phototropismF₂, where the plant grows towards light to maximize photosynthesis.
