Greater concentration of auxin in the cells facing light restrict cell elongation whereas on the other side (away from light) more elongation of cells takes place due to optimum amount of auxin. thus, the shoots turn towards light.

What is the effect of auxin on root called?
photohomerone
How is plant growth controlled?
plant growth controlled by hormone called auxin which is found in roots and shoots and sunlight break down auxin answered by rasool ebrahimi
What effect does auxin on plant roots?
slow cell growth
The effect of auxin depends on the target tissue?
true
Is Auxin is asymmetrically distributed in shoots because the auxin on the side of the plant facing the source of light is destroyed?
No, the auxin produced on the side facing the light source simply moves to the side away from the light. This causes cell elongation on the side opposite the light, making the stem appear to "grow toward the light"

How do plant hormones control the growth of roots and shoots?
Auxin controls the growth of the plant. Auxin in the roots of the plant inhibits growth whereas in the stems in the stems it encourages growth.

What is the best explanation for the unequal distribution of auxin?
the shoots pull towards the sunlight and against gravity - the roots pull towards gravity and water
What effect does auxin have on plant roots?
slows cell growth
Why do a plants roots always grow downwards and its shoots always grow upwards?
the stimulus in this case is gravity .shoots grow up,away from gravity.roots grow down,towards gravity.again auxin control this growth.if a plant is put its side the auxin builds up on the lower side of the shoot and the root.in the shoot the auxin stimulates it to grow moreon the lower sidethis causes the shoot to bend upwardsin the root the auxin also builds up on the lower side.but Ayxin slows down growth in a rootso tht upper side of the root grows quicker than the lower sidethe root bends downwards
What Is the Growth hormone that Stimulates plants Cells elongation called?
auxin
What is the history of auxin?
Auxin were the first plant hormones discovered. Charles Darwin was one of the first pioneers and wrote a book called The Power of Movement in Plants - 1880
What is the growth hormone that stimulates plants cell elongation?
auxin
