What are plant inhibitors?

What role do plants play in phototropism?

In phototropism, plant hormones control the growth and development of plants due to light. For example, in positive phototropism, auxin, a hormone, speeds up the rate at which plant cells grow. It builds up on the shadier side of a plant, causing those cells to grow faster than the cells on the sunny side of the plant. With longer cells on one side than the other, the stem bends toward the light.


What are some examples of phototropism?

IN PLANTS plant stems grow towards light (Auxins are plant growth hormones. They work by making cells grow longer, and divide more.) The Auxin collects on the dark side of the shoot; therefore, more growth will occur on this side of the plant. Therefore, the shoot will gradually lean towards the sun , important for photosynthesis. They need light for photosynthesis


What causes phototropism in green plants?

It can be commonly found in plants but it also can occur in other organsims such as Fungi!
