How is the role of auxin in the bending of stems toward light?

Auxins move from their source into the rest of the plant, where they stimulate cell elongation. A higher concentration of auxins accumulate in the shaded part of a stem and causes the plant to move towards the light.


A geranium plant grows toward light This is caused by what?

Auxins which are plant hormones.


What auxin is not stable in light?

auxins are not stable in light because it will degenerate the hormones.so,when light touches at one side of the coleoptile,auxins will move to the other side (less sunlight).this makes the shoot grow faster at the side which have more auxins and slower at the place where there are less auxins and this makes the shoot bend towards the light source =P


A geranium plant grows toward light This is caused by?

One of the plant's hormones called auxins


How do auxins cause cells to grow?

auxin


Plants lean toward the light because of plant hormones called?

By chemical photoreceptors A+LS :)


What lets the plant grow up towards the light?

Growth towards light is regulated by hormones called auxins. Auxins stimulate growth in the area of the plant that they are found and are produced by the tip of a stem. In sunlight they break down. As such there are more auxins on the shaded side of the plant. This will cause more growth on one side of the plant which will make it grow towards the light.


What is the thing that plants do this towards the light?

Plants have things in them called auxins. The lighter the place, the more auxins a plant will have. Auxins make the plant's cells stretch towards the light, making the plant bend and get taller.


What is the way the plants grows or bends in response to light?

There are auxins in plants (They help the plant in it upward growth). They tend to move away from direct sunlight.so when the plant is directly casted by light, the auxins in the plant move to the other side of the plant that has less light, thus their concentration becomes more on one side (the side with less light). Now since they help in the plant growth, the side of the plant with more of the auxins tends to grow faster than the side with less auxins, therefore the plant bends towards the light.


Can plants use light as sun?

Sure. In fact, if you place a plant under an artificial light source, it will lean toward the light source as if it were the sun.


What are auxins and why are they important in plants?

Auxins are chemicals exist in plants to stimulate growth. When sunlight hits one side of the stem of a plant, the auxins move away and down from the sunlight. This causes the 'dark' side of the stem to grow faster than the 'lighted' side, which causes the stem to lean towards the source of the light.


Can plants eat sunlight?

Auxins cause plants to respond positively to sunlight. These are chemicals found in plants that are far from a light source, which cause the plant to bend towards the sun.
